Nilus is building an agentic AI workforce for corporate treasury and finance operations. The company addresses a critical gap in the market: while most treasury tools provide visibility through dashboards, Nilus goes further by automating cash reconciliation, liquidity forecasting, and finance operations across Treasury, AR, and AP functions. The platform integrates with every major bank and ERP system in a single connected interface. As an Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle for new customers across the United States. Your primary responsibility is to win new business by engaging CFOs, treasurers, and controllers at mid-market and enterprise companies. You'll serve as a trusted advisor, helping finance leaders understand how an agentic treasury function can transform their cash management, risk management, and liquidity operations using AI. Key responsibilities include: - Driving the complete sales cycle from initial outreach through contract signature - Building and maintaining relationships across the US treasury and finance community, including customers, banks, partners, and industry networks - Collaborating closely with Product and Solutions teams to structure winning deals and shape the product roadmap based on market feedback - Helping define Nilus's go-to-market strategy as the US sales team scales - Translating complex AI capabilities into tangible business value for senior finance executives As an early member of the US team, you'll work directly with the founders and have meaningful influence on how the company enters and scales in the market. Nilus is Series A-backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Felicis, Perpetual Growth, and Better Tomorrow Ventures, and is led by a team of ex-fintech professionals. The role is based in New York (hybrid preferred), though US-based remote candidates are considered. Requirements: - 5+ years of full sales cycle experience in B2B SaaS with a strong track record of exceeding targets - Proven experience selling to the office of the CFO, including treasury, cash management, payments, or finance automation solutions - Track record of closing large, complex deals with senior-level buyers - Builder's mindset with ability to create opportunities and shape early-stage initiatives - Strong business acumen and ability to make AI concepts tangible and valuable for finance leaders - Comfortable with technology, quick to learn new tools and skills, and already using AI in your own work - US-based (New York area strongly preferred) Nice to have: - Experience selling treasury, cash management, or finance software - Existing network among corporate treasurers and finance leaders - Early-stage startup experience
