About SurePay

Founded in 2016, SurePay is the leading account verification platform, relied upon by 250+ banks and thousands of organizations, to prevent fraud, misdirected payments, and reputational damage. Headquartered in Utrecht, we are scaling our platform and our team across Europe and beyond.

About the role

Our core Account Verification product has already changed the game. Now, we are scaling our vision. We’ve launched a new domain—Focussed on Financial crime prevention and detection—to build a powerhouse suite of actionable insights for Fraud and Anti-Money Laundering. The train has already left the station: we have a vision, a working prototype, and positive validation from major banks. However, to win in this competitive market, we need more than just technical direction. We need a Domain Lead who can provide the functional "north star"—someone who can look at a list of features and decide exactly which ML model or use case will deliver the highest value to a Tier-1 bank. 

This isn’t about building from scratch in a vacuum; it’s about taking the helm of a high-speed project and making the hard calls. With your expertise in fraud, you will drive our next level product; FinCrime Insights,  nurturing it from an ambitious initiative into a fully grown-up business unit by the end of 2026.  

Your core responsibilities will be:

• Domain Ownership: Working with a dedicated Product Owner, Product Manager, and two specialized IT teams to turn complex data points into world-class detection models.
• Strategic Decision Making: Answering the "What" and "When." Should we prioritize specific fraud types or AML triggers? Which features move the needle for a CISO or Head of Compliance? You are the subject matter expert able to answer these questions. 
• Client Partnership: Acting as the trusted subject matter expert in high-stakes conversations with banks, translating their pain points into our product roadmap.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Orchestrating alignment with relevant stakeholders and departments

About you

We are looking for a Fraud authority who knows exactly how banks think. You are a super specialist  when it comes to fraud detection and prevention. You understand the bureaucracy and risk-appetite of a bank, but believe you will thrive in the agile, sometimes "messy" environment of a scaling software company and are eager to use your expertise to drive this domain. To be successful in this role you: 

• Have a solid background (8+ yrs) in fraud detection within a banking environment. You understand rule-writing, model building, and how detection systems fit into a bank’s complex architecture. 
• Are a Regulatory Expert: You stay ahead of the curve on AMLR, PSD3, and PSR, understanding how shifting laws impact detection strategies.
• Live Pragmatic Decisiveness: You have a strong bias for action. When the team asks for a direction, you provide it based on evidence and experience.
• Have Resilience: You aren't rattled by ambiguity. You can pivot when the market shifts and keep the team motivated.
• Are a Master Storyteller: You can simplify complex technical fraud concepts into inspiring visions for stakeholders and clients alike.

What we offer

You will have the autonomy to build a new business unit, backed by the reputation and resources of SurePay. You’ll be at the forefront of the fight against financial crime, using cutting-edge AI to protect millions of transactions, before they take place.

• Competitive salary + 8% personal benefits budget (use it on training, more time off, or your salary) 
• 25 holidays

• Pension plan
• A culture of ownership, innovation, and autonomy

About SurePay

Founded in 2016, SurePay is the leading account verification platform, relied upon by 250+ banks and thousands of organizations, to prevent fraud, misdirected payments, and reputational damage. Headquartered in Utrecht, we are scaling our platform and our team across Europe and beyond.

About the role

We’ve spent the last two years actively shaping EU legislation to ensure our Account Verification Services (AVS) became the gold standard. After successfully lobbying for a safer financial landscape, we’ve emerged as the  EU market leader in Account Verification (VOP, CoP), widely considered the standard in the industry. We have outgrown the "blank canvas" startup phase, but we are not a rigid corporate machine. We have been building and expanding our product suite and are looking for a new colleague.

As a VP Business Development you will own the entire commercial domain with the goal of growth across Europe—spanning Sales, Presales, and Partnerships. Your objective is to leverage our commercial teams and focus on Tier-1 banks as our primary channel to reach their corporate clients.  Focus will be on adding new logos as well as complex, strategic cross-selling (e.g., Fraud Risk Indicators and Global Solutions) of our additional products.

You will lead a multidisciplinary team to reclaim "home markets" where local schemes currently dominate and penetrate the Top 50 European banks.

• Strategy Execution: Own and implement the "Bank-as-a-Channel" model across the EU and UK. You will orchestrate Sales, Account Directors, Inside Sales, and Partnerships to ensure our services are sold to and through major financial institutions.
• Team Leadership & Evolution: Lead and mentor a team of ~12 direct reports located primarily in NL, with local presence in DE, UK, and BE.
• You will evaluate the current structure and evolve it to support complex, high-value technical sales.
• Tier-1 Pursuit: Personally drive or provide "heavy-weight" support for engagements with Top 50 targets (e.g., Barclays, HSBC, BNP Paribas).
• Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as the bridge between the market and our Product/Marketing teams. You must translate complex technical solutions into clear commercial value propositions, navigating local markets and regulations.

About you

We are looking for someone who thrives in the "middle" phase of a company. You have the analytical depth to look at a local market’s regulatory environment and pivot the GTM strategy on the fly. You are knowledgeable about the fraud space and understand where the needs of banks and other organisations are. 

We need a human oriented commercial leader, you are as comfortable coaching a junior Inside Sales rep as you are sitting across from a C-level executive at a Tier 1 bank. Furthermore, you have:

• 10+  years of experience in Enterprise software sales, selling complex SaaS, Fintech, or Regtech solutions to C-suite stakeholders ideally at major European Banks.
• Solid experience leading commercial teams through international growth.
• Hands-on experience with GTM Localization:. You know how to pivot strategies for different regulatory environments and business cultures. You have the analytical skill to look at local market realities and adapt the value proposition, pricing, or outreach strategy accordingly.
• Collaborative, data-driven, and hands-on leader able to turn insight into action
• Results-oriented, with a strong bias for action and ownership of outcomes. Building is in your DNA. 
• Resilience & Agility: You aren't rattled by the "messiness" of a scale-up. You are comfortable with ambiguity and can pivot when a specific EU vertical requires a different approach 
• Leadership skills: Ability to lead, motivate, and inspire a multidisciplinary team, driving a collaborative and high-performance culture.

What we offer

• Competitive salary + 8% personal benefits budget (use it on training, more time off, or your salary) and variable remuneration plan
• 25 holidays 
• Hybrid working setup 
• MacBook Pro, iPhone, and all the tech you need
• Travel costs covered (NS Business Card)
• Pension plan
• A culture of ownership, innovation, and autonomy
• Friday drinks, offsites, and a quarterly company meetup
• A diverse team of 35+ nationalities, driven by impact

The Account Executive (Mid-Market) (International) position is responsible for identifying and acquiring new logos within the Mid-Market business segment to meet and exceed their monthly sales quota.

Responsibilities:

• Acquire Mid-Market-sized new logo accounts within assigned territory to meet and exceed monthly sales quota.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of Mid-Market business opportunities by various prospecting methods, following lead cadence best practices, and conducting demos of our suite of products.
• Articulate the value proposition of KnowBe4’s full suite of products and educate the customer how each product will improve their business’s human firewall.
• Understand an organization’s buying needs, key decision makers, potential roadblocks and next steps to shorten sales cycles and acquire a high volume of new logo accounts.

What we offer

• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.

• Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
• A purpose-driven mission: building software that’s reliable, accessible, and user-centered — making a real difference for people.
