About the job

As an Enterprise Account Executive for the BFSI vertical, you will be responsible for driving the adoption and expansion of Neo4j’s graph database technology within the most critical financial institutions. Based in Sydney, you will manage a highly strategic portfolio consisting of premium tier-1 accounts—including several major banks—alongside a rich territory of greenfield financial services and insurance prospects.

You will blend financial sector acumen, enterprise sales prowess, and cloud ecosystem partnership to secure the market-leading position for Neo4j in financial services.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute a comprehensive vertical account plan for the ANZ BFSI market, consistently meeting or exceeding quarterly and annual sales metrics across both net-new and expansion targets.

Drive end-to-end, value-driven enterprise sales cycles within major banks and other financial institutions, engaging both technical stakeholders and business executives.

Spearhead account expansion ("farming") strategies within established accounts by identifying new high-value workloads, use cases, and departments to scale Neo4j adoption.

Systematically hunt for and capture new logos within the broader mid-tier banking, wealth management, fintech, and insurance sectors.

Orchestrate internal cross-functional squads—including Pre-Sales Engineering, Field Marketing, Customer Success, and Channel Partners—to scope, deliver, and qualify impactful Proofs of Value (POVs).

Maintain exceptional CRM hygiene in Salesforce.com, ensuring rigorous deal tracking, account profiling, and accurate forecasting in line with corporate guidelines.
