About Us
Pliant is a modular B2B payments platform that combines commercial card issuing, payment accounts, FX, and spend management in one system — adapting to existing setups rather than requiring customers to replace them.

Fintechs and software platforms embed Pliant's payment infrastructure into their own products, from API-based Cards-as-a-Service to fully white-label solutions. Banks use Pliant's Card & Spend OS, the customer-facing interface, on their own infrastructure to run card programs.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Berlin, Pliant serves 5,000+ businesses and 40+ partners across Europe and the United States. A principal member of Visa and Mastercard, Pliant issues commercial cards in 13 currencies across 32 countries — under its own European e-money license and with licensed partners in the UK and US.

About the Role
Pliant is looking for an ambitious, high-energy Outbound BDR to join our founding US team. This is not just a "lead-gen" role; it is a fast-track residency for future Account Executives. We are looking for candidates with a proven track record of exceeding quotas who are ready to master the fintech landscape and step into a closing role within their first year. You will be reporting to the Head of Sales USA.
What You’ll Do
Drive Top-of-Funnel: Own the outbound engine for Pliant US. You will hunt for new business through high-volume cold calling, strategic emailing, and social selling.
Master the Discovery: Go beyond setting meetings. You will lead initial discovery calls with finance leaders to qualify pain points and build a business case for Pliant’s modular platform.
Partner with Sales Leadership: Work directly with our Head of Sales to refine outbound strategies and A/B test messaging that resonates with the US market.
The AE "Shadow" Program: Participate in a structured promotion track. Once you hit your ramp goals, you will begin shadowing demos, managing smaller deal cycles, and learning the closing mechanics required for an AE promotion.
Ownership: Report to the Head of Sales weekly on progress, plans, and development.
Represent Pliant: Act as the first point of contact for our brand, articulating our value proposition with a high sense of urgency and professionalism.
What You’ll Bring
Proven Track Record: At least 1 year of experience in a BDR/SDR role (preferably in SaaS or Fintech) with documented success in exceeding monthly or quarterly activity and pipeline targets.
Strategic Prospecting: You don't just "blast" emails; you research prospects, identify triggers, and craft personalized messages that cut through the noise.
Urgency & Intensity: You thrive in a high-activity environment. You understand that speed to lead and volume are the lifeblood of a growing sales organization.
AE Aspirations: You are not looking for a "forever BDR" role. You have a clear desire to move into a closing role and the coachability to handle constructive feedback as you sharpen your sales craft.
Tech Stack Proficiency: Experience with Salesforce/Hubspot, Outreach/Salesloft, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a major plus.
The Path to AE
At Pliant, we believe in promoting from within. To earn your seat as an Account Executive within 6–12 months, you will be expected to:
Hit or exceed your outbound pipeline targets for at least 6 months.
Development: Consistently show proactive development of pipeline, sales execution, and market expertise.
Master the Product: Demonstrate a deep technical understanding of our API-first credit card solution and integration landscape.
Certify in Discovery: Pass internal "mock" closing simulations and demonstrate the ability to handle common objections without support.
What we offer
Aggressive OTE: A $90k–$110k OTE reflects our commitment to hiring top-tier talent.
Compensation Structure: 70/30 Base/Bonus structure with added bonus accelerators when you hit targets.
Founding Team Status: As an early US hire, you will help build the playbook, not just follow one.
Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the US with a home office stipend and the best tech available.
Global Exposure: Collaborate daily with our European headquarters and help a proven product conquer the American market.
