About the Role
Account Executive
Location: Continental U.S. (Remote)
Type: Full-time
Brale is building the future of stablecoin finance with compliant, blockchain-native infrastructure. We help institutions launch, scale, and operate digital asset programs with confidence. Our Account Executives are at the forefront of identifying, engaging, and closing transformative partnerships that define how institutions adopt stablecoins and programmable money.
As Brale's first Account Executive, you won't just close deals—you'll shape how the market understands and adopts stablecoin finance. Every prospect conversation, partnership structure, and closed customer will set the standard for how we scale trust and adoption across the stablecoin ecosystem.
This role sits at the intersection of sales strategy, technical credibility, and market development. You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing, while building and evolving the systems, playbooks, and pipeline that make Brale's go-to-market engine both scalable and repeatable.
Your work will drive revenue growth, establish market category leadership, and unlock new use cases across payments, treasury, and DeFi. In short, you'll turn market opportunity into closed business—and play a central role in achieving our vision of multiple $100M+ ARR business lines.
Act as the first Account Executive. Own full-cycle sales from prospecting to close while establishing Brale's sales foundation and methodology.
Develop and execute outbound strategies targeting fintechs, payment companies, neobanks, crypto-native businesses, and institutional players.
