The posting

Shufti is an AI-powered Identity Verification (IDV) and KYC/AML compliance platform trusted by 3,000+ businesses across 230+ countries. We help regulated industries onboard customers faster, prevent fraud, and maintain compliance at scale. Our product suite includes document verification, biometric authentication, AML screening, ongoing monitoring, and business verification solutions.

As we accelerate our expansion across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, we are hiring a Senior Sales Account Executive who can own the complete revenue lifecycle - from pipeline generation to enterprise deal closure, and establish Shufti as the trusted identity verification and compliance partner for businesses across APAC.

Role Mission

The mission of this role is to drive net-new revenue growth across APAC by identifying, engaging, and closing high-value B2B accounts. You will own the full sales cycle end-to-end, combining strategic prospecting, consultative selling, enterprise account management, and partnership development.

You will position Shufti’s AI-powered identity verification and compliance solutions as critical infrastructure for organizations operating in highly regulated industries including banking, fintech, payments, crypto, gaming, marketplaces, digital platforms, and financial services across APAC markets.

Role Overview

This is a high-ownership, full-cycle sales role within Shufti’s APAC commercial team. You will be responsible for building pipeline, managing complex enterprise sales cycles, closing new business, and expanding strategic customer relationships across the region.

This role requires a self-driven sales professional who can independently create opportunities through outbound prospecting, industry networking, partnerships, and account-based selling. You will work closely with marketing, product, solutions, and leadership teams to accelerate growth across APAC.

You will have direct access to senior leadership, a fast-paced decision-making environment, and the opportunity to represent a globally recognized compliance technology platform in one of the fastest-growing digital markets.

  • Present Shufti’s value proposition to senior executives and business leaders

3. Strategic Account Growth & Expansion

  • Manage and grow relationships with existing Shufti customers across APAC
  • Identify opportunities for upselling and cross-selling additional solutions including AML screening, biometric verification, ongoing monitoring, and business verification
  • Conduct regular account reviews and develop customer success strategies
  • Partner with internal teams to improve retention, customer satisfaction, and expansion revenue
  • Identify new use cases and departments within existing accounts to increase account value
  • Support Net Revenue Retention (NRR) growth initiatives

4. Partnerships & Market Development

  • Identify and develop strategic partnerships with technology providers, fintech platforms, compliance vendors, system integrators, and industry associations across APAC
  • Build partner-sourced pipeline and co-selling opportunities
  • Develop referral and channel partnerships in collaboration with leadership
  • Represent Shufti’s partnership ecosystem at regional industry events and forums
