    About this role

    About WayflyerToday's small businesses need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.Our technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.

    To date, we've deployed over $6bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world.

    We have offices in Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin and Sydney.The challengeThere are thousands of businesses globally growing fast and hitting the same wall - they need capital, and traditional lenders are too slow, too rigid, or simply not interested. We've already deployed over $6bn to growing businesses like these.

    The opportunity in front of us is significant, and we need people who can capitalise on it.

    What you'll actually doYou'll own the full sales cycle from sourcing your own leads to closing deals with some of the most exciting consumer brands on the market. You'll run in-depth discovery calls using MEDDPICC, work closely with our underwriting team to move fast without cutting corners, and negotiate deals that genuinely work for both sides.

    You'll have a dedicated BDR alongside you, but you won't wait around for a full pipeline to land in your lap. The best AEs here source relentlessly, close confidently, and treat their customers like business partners, not transactions. Top performers are hitting ~200% of target. That's not a boast. It's a signal of what’s possible.

    What this role could turn intoAccount Executives at Wayflyer tend to grow in one of two directions - first on the ground in one of our emerging verticals, or into team leadership as we scale. We're continuing to launch new products and verticals, which means the people who perform here will have real options. We'd rather promote from
