Enterprise Account Executive — United States

Velocity is revolutionising the global financial landscape by unifying fiat and digital assets through regulated stablecoin technology. We are tackling some of the most significant inefficiencies in global payments, from the limitations of SWIFT to the cost and delays of cross-border transactions.

Founded by Eric Queathem, with decades of experience scaling and leading payments businesses, Velocity combines deep expertise in regulated financial systems with a fast-growing team across London, Warsaw, New York and Melbourne.

Our platform enables businesses to manage payments, treasury functions, and liquidity in real time, operating 24/7/365. We remove friction in global payouts, cross-border settlements, and treasury operations, seamlessly integrating stablecoin-powered speed with the reliability of traditional finance.

Backed by robust partnerships, including strategic collaborations with Fireblocks and other leading technology providers, we are building trusted infrastructure for scalable global growth.

We recently announced a $38m Series A led by Dragonfly and FirstMark, with participation from QED, Capital One Ventures, Ripple and Coinbase Ventures.

This is a quota-carrying role with real ownership, and one of our first commercial hires in the US. You will run your own pipeline end to end (sourcing, qualifying, pitching, and closing), selling regulated stablecoin payment infrastructure to payment companies, PSPs, marketplaces, and fintechs across North America.

You will be selling a genuinely differentiated product into a market that is moving quickly, and you will be doing it early enough to shape how we go to market here. This role rewards people who can build a market rather than work an inherited list.

Own a revenue quota and be accountable for pipeline generation, progression, and closed business across your territory.

Source and build your own pipeline through outbound, network, events, and inbound follow-up.

Run the full sales cycle end to end: discovery, solution design, commercial negotiation, and close, often with multiple stakeholders across product, treasury, finance, and compliance.

Sell into payment companies, PSPs, marketplaces, and fintechs, tailoring the commercial case to each customer's cost, speed, and liquidity pain points.

Work closely with Product and Engineering to translate customer requirements into feasible solutions, and feed market signal back into the roadmap.

Partner with Compliance and Legal to navigate onboarding, jurisdictional requirements, and contracting in a regulated environment.

Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene and forecasting discipline in the CRM, and report accurately on performance against quota.

Represent Velocity at industry conferences and events across the region.

4–6 years' experience in business development, sales, or partnerships, with a meaningful portion of that in a quota-carrying closing role.

A background in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure, with a strong working understanding of how money moves and where the cost and friction sit.

A demonstrable track record of hitting or exceeding quota, and the numbers to back it up.

Genuine hunting ability: comfortable building pipeline from a standing start rather than working an existing book.

A growing network across the US payments or fintech ecosystem.

Experience selling technical or API-based products to business buyers, with the credibility to hold a conversation with both a treasurer and an engineer.

Comfortable operating in a regulated environment.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the commercial judgement to know which deals are worth chasing.

Comfortable working across time zones with a team concentrated in London and Warsaw, and self-directed enough to operate without a large local office around you.

Exposure to stablecoins or digital assets is an advantage, but deep payments experience matters more than prior crypto experience.
