# Dynamo AI — AI/Cybersecurity Enterprise Account Executive
Type: Full-time | Hybrid (1–2 days/week on-site) | New York City, NY (Soho)

## About Dynamo AI
Dynamo AI builds AI governance and cybersecurity infrastructure for the world's largest banks, asset managers, and insurers. Its platform delivers auditable AI guardrails, hallucination checks, red-teaming, and observability so regulated enterprises can productionize AI with confidence. The company sells into BFSI environments where model risk, data privacy, and third-party risk meet AI deployment, and is already working with major financial services and cybersecurity buyers.
Founded: 2021 | Team size: 11–50 | Stage: Series A, heading toward Series B this year
Industry: AI Tools / AI governance & cybersecurity
Website: dynamo.ai
Office: New York City (Soho, Manhattan)
## Why Candidates Should Join
- Own tier-one BFSI accounts from day one: Inherit 2–4 major named accounts (BlackRock, Experian-tier) plus greenfield territory.
- Strong inbound despite no SDRs: Steady inbound flow from the advisor and investor network; the hire multi-threads rather than relying on a top-of-funnel team.
- High-leverage, founder-adjacent seat: Partner directly with the founders, forward-deployed engineering, and the Head of GTM on late-stage deal mechanics, and help shape territory strategy as the function scales.

## The Role
A senior, full-cycle Enterprise AE owning complex, multi-stakeholder deals across BFSI. Average contract value $250K–$500K with 6–12 month sales cycles; $2M annual quota.
### What You'll Be Doing
- Own multi-stakeholder enterprise deals end-to-end across BFSI accounts, from prospecting through close and expansion
- Inherit named accounts (potentially including BlackRock, Experian, and similar tier-one names) plus greenfield territory
- Run value-based sales motions tied to risk reduction, regulatory exposure, and cost of inaction
- Lead executive conversations with CISOs, CIOs, CROs, Heads of Risk, Compliance, Privacy, and Governance
- Travel 1–2 weeks per month to customer sites once ramped
- Help shape territory strategy as the function scales (currently all greenfield, territories being defined)
- Partner closely with founders, forward-deployed engineering, and Jeffrey on late-stage deal mechanics
Tech stack: N/A (sales role) — sells auditable AI guardrails, hallucination checks, red-teaming, and observability
## Requirements
- 5–10+ years full-cycle enterprise sales
- Closed multiple 7-figure ARR deals
- BFSI sales experience (banks, asset managers, insurers)
- Sold to CISOs and CIOs
- Value-based, consultative selling
- NYC hybrid (Soho), 1–2 weeks travel/month
## Green Flags
- Has personally closed multiple 7-figure ARR deals and can walk through a specific deal story — stakeholders, blockers, procurement hurdles, and how they won.
- BFSI sales tenure with deep CISO and CIO relationships. Selling to AI-specific roles (Head of AI Governance, Model Risk) is a plus, but the foundational signal is established C-suite security and IT credibility.
- Mix of big-company training and startup experience. Sold a product with real PMF at a top cybersecurity company (Palo Alto, Splunk, CrowdStrike, Okta) and then moved to a smaller, faster environment.
- Value-based selling background. UiPath, Blue Prism, or similar hyper-automation companies that sell on cost reduction and ROI fit the Dynamo motion exactly.
- Senior IC operator who runs deals with discipline. Multi-threads stakeholders, builds consensus across technical, business, and risk teams, and orchestrates rather than just executes.
## Red Flags
- No 7-figure deal history. Christian's stated deal-breaker. Will not move past initial screen.
- Pure startup-only background with no big-company training. Jeffrey explicitly wants candidates who learned how to sell at a structured, well-trained org first.
- Career SMB or mid-market AE without enterprise complexity. Cannot navigate 12-month BFSI cycles, regulatory procurement, or seven-figure pricing structures.
- Heavy reliance on SDR-fed top of funnel. Dynamo has no SDRs. The hire works inbound from the advisor network plus their own multi-threading.
- Cisco-style enterprise lifer with no startup adaptation. Comfort-with-stability profile, not a fit for the pace.
