About Finch
We are on a mission to empower innovators to access the global employment ecosystem and connect the world's employers under a single API.

About Our Team
We're a team of problem solvers who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We value velocity, curiosity, empathy, and diverse perspectives. Everyone on the team is excited about the scope of the problems we address and the potential impact our work can have on the global workforce. We realize that the value we provide comes with great responsibilities, and therefore make security and privacy our highest priorities.
We come from a diverse set of backgrounds and each member brings different skills to the group. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and potential will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns.
The Role
We’re looking for a hunter-minded, high-performing Commercial Account Executive to own and scale revenue growth across strategic mid-market and lower enterprise segments. You’ll be responsible for the full sales cycle—from outbound prospecting through close—navigating technical sales, building deep relationships, and unlocking new verticals and opportunities. This is a unique opportunity to join a well-funded Series B company at a critical inflection point and help shape our GTM motion from the ground up. You'll partner closely with leadership, product, and marketing to influence roadmap, feedback loops, and GTM strategy.

- Drive collaboration across marketing, product, and partnerships to unlock new verticals and use cases
- Provide customer feedback that influences product roadmap and market positioning
- Help scale sales playbooks, tools, and best practices as we expand our GTM engine

- Collaborative: You bring others along with you and believe winning is a team sport
