<h3><strong>About Notabene</strong></h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">Notabene is building infrastructure that’s transforming how money moves in the digital economy. We’re evolving beyond our compliance foundations to enable the next generation of digital financial services between regulated institutions with unprecedented efficiency. With nearly 50 employees across 14 countries and having recently closed our Series B round last November with support from leading investors including Y Combinator, DRW, F-Prime, Jump Capital, Castle Island, and Green Visor Capital, we’re looking for people like you to help shape the future rails of the crypto industry.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Location:</strong> Remote </p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The impact you will have:</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Notabene is moving up-market. Our growth now comes from financial institutions and fintechs launching digital asset products. These are bigger customers with longer implementation cycles, more stakeholders and higher contract values than the crypto-native exchanges we grew up with.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You will own a small number of these customers. Sales closes the initial deal and hands the customer over at signature. From there they are yours: get them live, get them using the product, renew them and grow them.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Growth is the part of this role that matters most. One signed contract is a way into the rest of the organisation. You will map it, find the other teams, entities and regions that need us, and work with Sales to open them.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You are also the technical point of contact for your customers. Enterprise conversations get technical early, and you should be able to sit with a customer's integration team and be useful without a Solutions Engineer in the room. Comfort with APIs and the curiosity to work things out yourself matter more here than an engineering background.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Identify and close new, complex opportunities, engage with technical and nontechnical stakeholders to accelerate the sales process.
