From the employer
About Silent Eight
We’ve been a trusted partner to the world’s largest financial institutions for over a decade, with AI running in production at global banks including HSBC and Standard Chartered. We automate the compliance decisions that stop money laundering and terrorism financing — at scale, in production, on real cases.
Now we’re scaling our European footprint, and we’re looking for the person to lead it from Poland (our HQ is in Warsaw — you can be based anywhere in the country).
The Role
Reporting directly to our CEO, you’ll own the full go-to-market for Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institutions across Europe — from pipeline to close.
This is a role for someone who lives on planes. You’ll be based in Poland and on the ground roughly 70% of the time with banks across the UK, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, and Southern Europe — building relationships, running deal cycles, closing.
What You’ll Do
Drive multi-million dollar, multi-year deals through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles across European markets
Act as a strategic advisor to Chief Risk Officers (CROs) and Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs), aligning AI capabilities with their regulatory and risk priorities
Build and close pipeline through extensive travel across Europe (~70%)
Work with product and executive leadership to shape proposals that win
Collaborate with our teams in Asia and the US on global accounts with European presence
What We’re Looking For
5+ years in enterprise sales, with 3+ years closing complex enterprise-grade software or high-stakes business solutions
Experience selling into regulated financial institutions across multiple European markets
Ability to make sophisticated AI commercially tangible for non-technical buyers
Fluent English & French
Domain knowledge in AML, FinCrime, or RegTech a plus
Based in Poland and comfortable with ~70% travel across time zones
What We Offer
Base 40,000–55,000 PLN / month+ with commission accelerators above quota. Total compensation in the top quartile for European enterprise SaaS sales
Senior-level equity grant with four-year vesting
B2B contract paid time off that grows with you, and a quarterly wellness allowance added directly to your invoice
Modern sales stack (Claude, Clay, Salesforce, ZoomInfo) and a platform that already works — AI in production at Tier 1 banks, so you’re selling something real
A seat at the table — direct access to the CEO, a real voice in shaping European go-to-market strategy
