Account Executive

About Themis

Themis is a collaborative governance, risk, and compliance platform helping banks, credit unions, and fintechs streamline oversight, strengthen compliance programs, and move faster with confidence.

Our customers operate in highly regulated environments where strong governance, risk management, and compliance practices are critical. We partner closely with financial institutions and fintechs to help them build scalable, effective oversight programs, strengthen third-party oversight, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

At Themis, we believe great companies are built through partnership, expertise, ownership, and execution. We’re looking for team members who are excited to solve meaningful problems, build trusted relationships, and help shape the future of governance, risk, and compliance.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Account Executive who can own the full sales cycle and help banks, credit unions, and fintechs understand how Themis can transform the way they manage governance, risk, and compliance.

In this role you’ll be responsible for sourcing, qualifying, and closing new business across a portfolio of financial institutions and fintechs. You’ll run discovery, lead product demonstrations alongside our team, navigate complex evaluations, and build the business case that earns the trust of compliance, risk, and executive stakeholders.

The ideal candidate pairs strong sales fundamentals with genuine curiosity about the regulated environments our customers operate in. You are comfortable selling a technical, consultative product, you are organized and disciplined in how you manage a pipeline, and you take ownership of your number.

Working Hours & Availability
