Sales Director, Enterprise

SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova’s technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model.

Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.

SambaNova is redefining the economics of AI inference. We build AI accelerators and deliver them as rack-scale systems that let enterprises deploy state-of-the-art AI — from the largest open-source models to demanding production workloads — in their own data centers, at speed and efficiency the incumbent platforms can’t match.

Financial services is where enterprise AI gets real: the largest institutions in the world are moving AI from experimentation into production, and they need to do it with performance, control, and economics that public cloud consumption can’t deliver.

We are hiring an Account Director, based in New York, to build and drive a large book of business across US financial services — global banks, capital markets firms, asset managers, and insurers.

Reporting directly to the VP of Americas, you will own the number and run every pursuit end to end with high touch: from first executive conversation, through technical and risk validation, to negotiated production deployments.

This is a senior, relationship-driven seat for a seller who is already trusted at the executive level in this industry and knows how to move a large institution from interest to commitment.

What you’ll be doing

Own the financial services number. Build and drive the book of business across US financial institutions — named accounts and expansion alike. Yo
