About DFNS

Finance is moving onchain. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits, securities and funds are changing how money and assets are issued, held and transferred. The destination is a financial system where any asset can be issued, moved and governed onchain with the controls regulated institutions require. That shift needs a new foundation. Just as core banking systems manage accounts and ledgers today, financial institutions need a platform to manage digital assets. DFNS is that platform. Today, we secure hundreds of billions of dollars in assets every month for more than 500 clients worldwide.

Why this role

US financial institutions are moving stablecoins and tokenized assets into production and they buy core infrastructure from vendors that can pass a bank’s due diligence. We have the platform and the track record. What we need is a sales leader who turns that into a North American book of business, owns the regional number from day one, closes the first wave of flagship logos and hires the account executives who scale it.

What you’ll do

  • Contribute to the North American revenue plan and deliver it, from pipeline and forecast to closed ARR.
  • Land flagship accounts among US banks, payment companies, fintechs, trading firms, asset managers, and market infrastructures running the full cycle from first meeting to contract.
  • Run long, multithreaded procurement cycles (RFPs, security due diligence, legal, executive sponsorship) with Solutions, Security and Legal behind you.
  • Turn the first wins into references, case studies and speaking slots that make the next deal shorter.
  • Feed what US prospects tell you back into positioning, pricing and roadmap with Product and Marketing.
  • Hand every closed account to Account Management with a documented success plan so expansion starts in month one.

What you bring

Must-haves

  • A record of closing six and seven figure annual contracts with banks or regulated financial institutions, all the way through procurement, security review and legal.
  • Experience selling core systems or infrastructure (core banking, payments, custody, capital markets software), not point solutions.
  • Enough technical fluency to hold a first conversation on APIs, deployment models and security with a bank’s architects, then bring in Solutions for the detail.
  • Experience hiring and running account executives, with a point of view on process, forecast discipline and CRM hygiene.
  • Comfort being the senior US face of a company whose leadership and most of whose team work from Europe and Asia. Mornings overlap with Europe. Afternoons are yours.
  • Authorization to work in the United States.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience selling into stablecoin, custody or tokenization.
  • A live network at US banks, broker-dealers or payment companies evaluating digital assets.
  • Experience selling with or through partners such as systems integrators or core banking vendors.

How we work

We are a distributed company headquartered in Paris. Our teams work from Europe, the US and Asia, with offices in New York, Geneva, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and São Paulo. We write decisions down so they survive time zones. We hold our own work to the standards our clients are held to.

Remote first, with an office if you want one.

Base salary range in the US: $200,000-300,000

Hiring process

We aim to complete the process in 2 weeks and we tell you where you stand after every step.

  1. Intro call with Co-CEO (30 minutes).
  2. Personality and cognitive assessments, completed on your own time (45 minutes).
  3. Focus interviews with the hiring panel in role-specific sessions (about 3 hours in total).
  4. Reference calls and background checks.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
