## Job description

The Job in Short

Backbase is the industry leader of omni-channel banking platforms and one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the world. We empower financial institutions to accelerate their digital-first transformation, and become loved by their customers!

We’re on a mission to serve 10% of all smartphone users worldwide with a Backbase-powered financial app. Yes, that means 400 million people (ambitious!). But we see it as exploring millions of initiatives and flexing our brain power. With us so far? What will you bring to make us stronger?

Meet the Job

You understand customer business drivers and know how to establish buy-in at all levels (sales management, delivery leads, and senior/executive management). You will identify and qualify new regional sales opportunities and effectively run a sales cycle. Collaborating closely with our demand gen specialist and pre-sales experts you will prepare RFPs, deep dives, pitches, and POCs and work towards closing multi-million dollar deals.

Next to that, you will develop active partner relationships in the assigned region that result in the net new software business. Facilitate partner and Backbase sales team alignment, target account nomination, and opportunity planning to drive joint license (Backbase) and service (partner) wins.

How about you

● You are a seasoned Regional Sales Director, that has a consistent track record of helping your financial services customers achieve their strategic initiatives, engaging at the CxO level. At Backbase you will have the opportunity to steer some of the region's most innovative organisations in their digital transformation journey as they strive to become a true Digital First Bank, in Retail, SME, Corporate or Wealth management.

● Your appreciation of the disruption and trends within the financial services industry enables you to establish yourself as the trusted business partner within your accounts. You will identify and qualify new regional sales opportunities, and effectively run your sales campaign using modern technology platforms and our proven sales methodologies.

● You are empowered to own your territory and career, driving the sales strategy with the support of an equally driven and hungry cross-functional team. You will be surrounded by some of the brightest and most visionary and humble professionals in the industry. Winning as a team is in our DNA.

If this sounds like you, then you will fit right in our innovative, team-oriented, can-do culture

## About Backbase

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Backbase builds the AI-native Banking OS that unifies digital channels, front office, and operations so banks can coordinate customers, employees, and AI agents from one platform.

- **Headquarters**: Amsterdam, Netherlands
- **Founded**: 2003
- **Founders**: Not publicly available (described as “founder-led” but names not stated on the provided sources)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Banking technology / financial services software
- **Target customers**: B2B – large banking institutions (120+ banks globally, serving 75M+ daily users)
- **Mission/purpose**: “We built something that didn't exist before – an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks.”

## Products & Services
- **AI-native Banking OS**: A unified platform that sits above legacy cores, CRMs, and data platforms. It orchestrates customer engagement (digital banking, conversational banking, front-office workspaces) and banking operations (high-volume processes like disputes, payments, lending). Designed to be deployed incrementally without rip-and-replace. Includes native AI agents for governance, automation, and auditability.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed

The company is actively hiring and describes itself as “in the middle of the biggest shift in banking’s history.”

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified Frontline architecture** – breaks down fragmentation between digital channels, front office, and operations, enabling banks to move fast without sacrificing compliance or security
- **AI-native from the ground up** – not a bolt-on; full governance and audit trails for every AI decision
- **Progressive modernization** – works with existing cores, no big-bang migration required
- **18+ years of banking domain expertise** (since 2003) with a singular focus on banking since 2012

## Strategic Focus
- Deepening AI integration into banking workflows (Elastic Operations – scaling throughput without scaling headcount)
- Expanding global footprint (17 offices, including recent additions in Hyderabad, Riyadh, Mexico City, and Toronto)
- Continuing to shift banks from legacy fragmentation to a unified, composable operating system

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “ambition without ego,” “bias for action,” “you own what you ship,” and “the work is the standard.” Flat structure with no micromanagement.
- **Work model**: Hybrid – “Where you do your best work is up to you.” Offices in 17 locations globally.
- **Perks**: Annual learning budget, global exposure, wellness support, real ownership of projects from day one.
- **Engineering focus**: 50% of the team in R&D; real AI running in production, not just pilots.
