About the role

About Astra Astra is building mission-critical infrastructure for moving money at scale. Our platform processes billions in annual transaction volume with 99.9%+ uptime, powering real-time transfers, bank debits, card disbursements, and complex financial compliance systems. We provide APIs and automation tools that enable businesses to move money programmatically while maintaining strict regulatory requirements.

The Role: We’re looking for a high-performing Senior Account Executive who thrives in complex B2B sales environments and knows how to win in fintech. As a senior member of our Sales team, you will own our largest and most complex opportunities and help set the standard for how Astra sells. You will work closely with Astra leadership and operate as a relentless “hunter” to identify opportunities, clearly articulate and educate our value proposition, and close key stakeholders. The ideal candidate has a strong track record in B2B SaaS sales, experience selling payments or financial technology solutions, and a disciplined, data-driven approach to managing pipeline and forecasting. You have carried multi-stakeholder enterprise cycles through procurement, technical review, and legal, and you have displaced an incumbent provider more than once. If you’re competitive, consultative, and energized by closing meaningful deals, we’d love to talk.

What You’ll Do: Become an expert in all things payments, from how the Astra platform works to the various payment rails and routes. Own the full cycle on Astra’s most strategic opportunities, from first touch through procurement, technical review, legal redlines, and signature. Lead executive-level presentations and technical deep-dives. Multithread across the economic, technical, and compliance buyers so that no deal rests on a single champion. Develop creative outbound strategies to create and nurture opportunities. Sell consultatively and competitively, staying proactive and strategic throu

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
