Sales Lead - Enterprise - Financial Services

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:

• ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.

• ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.

• ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.

• High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.

• Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.

• AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.

• Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.

• Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

• Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.

• Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.

• Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.

• Annual team offsite: Each year, we bring your entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia, Italy and Cancún

• Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.

About the role

As Enterprise Sales Lead - Financial Services, you’ll own our North America enterprise motion across Banking and Insurance, helping institutions put agents in front of customers, policyholders, and advisors that are safe, compliant, and fit the systems they already run.

In regulated industries, relationships are the currency, so we’re looking for a leader who already knows the buyers and the rulebook. This is a rare chance to join while the vertical is moving from pilots to production, with the mandate to win net-new logos, drive agent sales, and build the playbook and the team.

In this role, you will:

• Win net-new logos and drive adoption of ElevenLabs, including closing deals yourself and also building and scaling the team

• Own the enterprise Banking and Insurance function and playbook: strategy, pipeline, forecast, process, execution

• Define the enterprise ICP, sales methodology, and a repeatable motion for each of Banking and Insurance, including different buyers, regulators, and use cases

• Open doors through your own network of senior buyers, and turn early wins into the references the rest of the vertical will call

• Guide buyers through model-risk review, architecture review, and vendor security, bringing Risk, Compliance, and InfoSec in early

• Help customers pick a narrow, high-volume first use case in Banking (servicing, caller verification, collections, onboarding) and Insurance (claims intake, policy servicing, renewals), and scale from there

• Partner with our Forward Deployed Engineers, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to co-build and share what the field teaches us

• Lead executive briefings, events, and high-stakes negotiations

• Bring a sharp view of the competitive landscape, including build-vs-buy and platform bundlers, to positioning and strategy

• Set the bar for sales culture, integrity, and customer-first execution

Requirements:

• 10+ years of enterprise sales experience, including at least 2 years leading a team.

• Track record selling into banks and/or insurers, and navigating Risk, Compliance, and InfoSec gatekeepers

• An established network of senior decision-makers in banking and/or insurance, so you can name the buyers you’d call in your first 30 days

• Passion for experimenting to find the positioning and messaging that wins in market, and turn what works into the playbook

• Experience building a new sales motion or playbook from scratch, whether as a founding leader or inside a larger company

• Deep fluency in banking and insurance regulation (model risk, third-party risk, data protection, consumer protection), which you can speak to without a briefing

• Seven-figure enterprise deals and complex, multi-stakeholder cycles

• Ability to be strategic and hands-on at once

• Executive presence at C-suite and board levels

• Low ego and hands-on: equally at home in a C-suite briefing and in the weeds of a prospecting list or Proof of Value. Motivated by impact and growth more than title

• Passion for the transformative potential of voice and conversational AI
