Description
Role
Samaya AI is transforming how investment decisions get made. Our suite of AI agents supercharges financial research, discovery, and analysis, turning real-time information into investment conviction. Deployed at enterprise scale, we're seeing strong adoption across leading financial institutions.
This role is for someone with real front-office experience and leadership across the buy-side and sell-side. You'll use that experience to help translate how investment professionals work into the next generation of AI products, shaping how our AI, product, and engineering teams build. You'll define the GTM strategy that expands Samaya's reach across the world's leading hedge funds and asset managers, helping bring AI into the core investment workflow.
Responsibilities
Own GTM strategy and execution directly with our CEO
Close deals yourself, using an existing network to get in front of decision-makers at hedge funds and asset managers
Build credibility and trust with enterprise buyers without the support of an established brand
Grow and lead a small, senior, and high leverage team of AEs
Own enterprise sales and commercial negotiations end to end
Drive customer acquisition, expansion, and revenue growth across buy-side accounts

Experience
Required

Operated at the Executive Director level or above (typically 10+ years in sales ad trading, consulting, or a comparable financial technology firm)
Built and maintained a network of buy-side relationships over multiple years of client-facing work, and can point to specific relationships, not just a general network
Independently owned senior buy-side relationships (CIOs, portfolio managers, heads of research) rather than supporting someone else's coverage
Fed customer feedback directly into product decisions before, not just relayed it up the chain
Actively uses AI in day-to-day work
Preferred
Built a sales function from zero, not just scaled one that already existed
Shaped pricing, packaging, or commercial strategy in a prior role, not only executed within a strategy someone else set
Experience navigating vendor security reviews, MNPI-sensitive workflows, procurement cycles specific to regulated financial institutions
