Portfolio Lead Salesforce, Data & AI | Financial Services & Regulated Industries

Zennify is hiring a Portfolio Leader to sell our Salesforce, data, and AI solutions to financial institutions. This is a quota-carrying role. You own pipeline, forecast, and closed revenue across your territory, and you lead deals from first contact through close.

You understand our solutions and how they translate into outcomes for banks, credit unions, wealth firms, and insurers. You know them well enough to lead the conversation, and you quarterback the right team of solution architects and engineers to scope, estimate, and win the deal.

You work AI-first, using agents and AI tooling to research accounts, prepare for meetings, support discovery, and draft proposals. That frees up time for the customer relationships that move deals forward. You have either sold into financial services or worked inside it, so you understand how these buyers evaluate and make decisions.

This is a quota-carrying role with on-target earnings of $250,000 to $350,000. You own pipeline, forecast, and closed revenue across your territory, and you lead deals from first contact through close.
