About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of enterprise sales experience specifically in finance and accounting outsourcing, finance transformation services, or related business process outsourcing, selling operational and transformation services rather than supporting technology.
  • Deep finance and accounting domain knowledge, including record-to-report, order-to-cash, and procure-to-pay process mechanics sufficient to speak credibly with Controllers or Vice Presidents of Finance.
  • A documented record of closing net-new logos at $3 million or more in annual contract value, with detailed knowledge of wins, deal sizes, buyer profiles, and timelines.
  • Direct buyer relationships with Chief Financial Officers, Controllers, Vice Presidents of Finance, and Chief Procurement Officers, with experience selling to finance executives.
  • Deep familiarity with the finance and accounting business process outsourcing competitive landscape, including EXL, Genpact, Accenture, Capgemini, IBM, WNS, and Infosys BPM, and how they position themselves.
  • Most career revenue must have come from opening new accounts rather than managing or growing existing accounts.
  • Be based in the United States and willing to travel regularly for client and prospect engagements.
  • Applicants whose primary outsourcing experience is in insurance, healthcare or life sciences, or banking and capital markets are not eligible for this role.
  • Experience limited to selling ERP platforms, finance technology, or IT systems does not meet the role’s requirements; the role sells operational and analytical services, not the underlying technology.
  • Applicants seeking a team leadership or player-coach position are not a fit; this is an individual-contributor position.
  • Experience selling across multiple finance and accounting towers is a strong fit indicator.
  • Ability to sell both transactional efficiency and analytics and transformation narratives, engaging operational buyers and strategic finance leaders, is a strong fit indicator.
  • Familiarity with shared services and the global business services landscape, including how EXL fits alongside or replaces captive shared-services models, is a strong fit indicator.
  • Prior finance and accounting deal experience at or competing against Genpact, Accenture, Capgemini, IBM BPO, WNS, or Infosys BPM is a strong fit indicator.
  • Familiarity with the advisor ecosystem influencing finance and accounting outsourcing decisions, including Hackett Group, Everest Group, ISG, and HfS Research, is a strong fit indicator.
  • Experience across multiple in-scope industries, such as retail, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, technology, utilities, transportation, and media, is a strong fit indicator.
  • Understanding of artificial intelligence and automation in finance transformation, including robotic process automation, intelligent document processing, artificial-intelligence-powered anomaly detection, and analytics, is a strong fit indicator.
  • Surface-level finance and accounting knowledge is not sufficient; the role requires process depth to build credibility with Chief Financial Officer and Controller buyers.
  • Primary experience selling ERP implementation, finance technology licensing, systems integration, or managed IT services is not a fit; the role focuses on operational and analytical services.
  • Applicants whose experience is primarily in expanding and managing existing accounts rather than opening new ones are not a fit.

Responsibilities

  • Build a sales pipeline from scratch through the candidate’s Chief Financial Officer and Controller network, outbound prospecting, advisor and consultant relationships, and EXL marketing and alliance channels.
  • Target Chief Financial Officers, Controllers, Vice Presidents of Finance, Chief Procurement Officers, and Chief Operating Officers at mid-to-large enterprises across in-scope U.S. industries.
  • Maintain a pipeline of four to six times the annual sales quota.
  • Lead consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from the first conversation through signed contract.
  • Build business cases connecting EXL’s finance and accounting transformation capabilities to each prospect’s needs, such as close-cycle pressure, working-capital challenges, finance headcount constraints, compliance burden, or shifting finance from a cost center to a strategic partner.
  • Position EXL as an artificial-intelligence-led transformation partner that measurably improves the finance function.
  • Navigate complex procurement, legal, and executive stakeholder dynamics across multi-quarter sales cycles.
  • Lead contract negotiations with support from EXL’s commercial and legal teams.
  • Manage the transition from sale to delivery by setting expectations and establishing a foundation for long-term account health.
  • Meet or exceed the annual new-logo quota.
  • Represent EXL at Chief Financial Officer forums, finance leadership events, and shared-services and outsourcing conferences, including SSON and APQC.
  • Develop relationships with sourcing advisors and analysts, including Hackett Group, Everest Group, ISG, and HfS Research, who influence enterprise finance and accounting outsourcing decisions.
  • Build relationships with consulting firms whose finance transformation programs create downstream finance and accounting outsourcing opportunities.
