  • Support prospecting efforts to facilitate warm leads that fuel pipeline growth for your team.
  • Support your team in deal execution, providing strategic guidance from pipeline development through negotiation and close.
  • Ensure newly signed merchants successfully launch with Affirm, thus ensuring strong coordination between your team and other cross-functional partners, including Client Success, Product, Technical Account Management, and other internal teams.
  • Oversee expansion opportunities within the first 12 months of a deal closing, including cross-channel, cross-geography, or multi-brand growth.
  • Bring structure and innovation to sales execution, pipeline management, and deal strategy, driving efficiency and effectiveness across the team.
  • Hold your team accountable for performance, providing immediate and thoughtful coaching to drive continuous improvement.
  • Represent Affirm at industry events and conferences, advocating for our mission representing Affirm as a senior thought leader and strengthening our position in the market.
  • Travel regularly to help Account Executives accelerate their deal cycles, and facilitate team planning sessions and offsites.

What We Look For:

  • A strategic and hands-on sales leader with a deep understanding of enterprise sales and complex deal structures.
  • 8+ years of solution selling experience, including 5+ years of leadership experience managing high-performing sales teams.
  • Proven track record of selling into large, enterprise retail merchants.
  • Experience in Retail and/or the Credit and Payments landscape.
  • Strong alignment with Affirm’s mission, with a passion for building financial products that improve lives. Ideally, you have used our product and understand its value to merchants and consumers.
  • Strong executive presence and ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders at major brands.
  • An active networker who can broker warm leads and open doors to new opportunities.
  • A structured, organized leader who brings new ways of thinking and managing to the team.
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive initiatives forward.
