## Description

Footprint is the agentic platform that learns your compliance program and runs it end to end. Compliance teams at banks and fintechs are drowning in financial crimes investigations. Transaction volumes are surging, regulators keep raising the bar, and the work still runs on manual review queues stitched together from legacy vendors. Percy, our agentic system, learns each team's procedures and makes the same calls their analysts would: clearing false positives, escalating real risk, writing the case narrative, and documenting every decision for audit. It cuts review workloads by 70%+. The harder problem is underneath. Every investigation is grounded in the data sources compliance teams already trust, and every case commits to an organizational memory that compounds — so a pattern one analyst caught in March surfaces automatically in October, across KYC, EDD, sanctions, and monitoring. Whether the team is five analysts or 500, they share one brain. Every memory carries provenance. Agents propose; humans approve. That's four years of identity infrastructure sitting under the agent, and it's the part nobody can bolt on later. We're backed by QED, Index, and Box Group, and trusted by FDIC- and OCC-regulated banks plus fintechs like Bilt, Nuvei, and MoonPay. We 5x'd revenue last year. The team is small, senior, and ships fast. The short version: you'll sell Percy to compliance and financial crime teams at banks and fintechs, and own each deal from first call to signature. On-site in New York, reporting to Eli Wachs, our co-founder and CEO. Base $120K–$140K, OTE $240K–$280K, plus equity. The Role Financial institutions spend billions of dollars every year on compliance operations: onboarding reviews, transaction monitoring, sanctions investigations, enhanced due diligence, periodic reviews, quality assurance, and countless other workflows that are still largely manual. Percy was built to change that. Our AI agents execute the same investigative playbooks compliance analysts follow today - gathering evidence across internal systems and third-party sources, applying institution-specific policies, documenting every step, and producing a fully auditable decision. We're looking for another enterprise seller to bring that platform to market at scale. You'll own the entire sales cycle across banks, fintechs, marketplaces, brokerages, and other regulated financial institutions. You'll work directly with BSA officers, AML teams, compliance leaders, operations executives, and financial crime investigators to identify manual workflows, quantify operational pain, and demonstrate how AI can automate them. This isn't a traditional SaaS sale. Most deals begin with a real operational problem: an alert backlog, an expensive outsourced process, a slow onboarding review, or an investigation team struggling to scale. Rather than selling features, you'll work with prospects to identify a high-friction workflow, run historical cases through Percy, and demonstrate measurable improvements against their existing process. You'll inherit an existing foundation: active pipeline, SDR support, product specialists, implementation help, and founders who remain deeply involved in the business. But you'll also be expected to build your own pipeline, develop executive relationships, expand into new accounts, and help define the playbook for a category that's still being created. Success in this role means more than closing deals. It means helping shape how financial institutions adopt AI across compliance and financial crime operations. You'll report directly to Eli Wachs, our co-founder and CEO. What You'll Own Your number, end to end. You'll own the entire sales cycle across banks, credit unions, fintechs, lenders, brokerages, marketplaces, and other regulated financial institutions. That means sourcing, qualifying, managing, and closing your own opportunities. SDRs and marketing create most of the pipeline today - the goal is for them to cover roughly 75-80% of it
