Sales & Business Development

FULL-TIME

HYBRID

Polixis is a Swiss RegTech leader delivering advanced SaaS and DaaS solutions to the Risk & Compliance sector. The company operates one of the world’s most comprehensive datasets on UBO / Shareholding, sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and financial crime intelligence.
This proprietary dataset represents a structural data moat—strategically critical AML data that is difficult and uniquely positions Polixis to power next-generation, AI-driven compliance solutions.
Recognised among Switzerland’s Top 20 Fintechs, the Global FinCrime Top 50, Best PEPs and Sanctions Solutions 2025 and by the Financial Times’ Sifted as one of Europe’s Top Bootstrapped Companies to Watch, Polixis continues to scale its footprint across regulated industries.
The Role
We are seeking a Sales Executive (Mid–Senior level) to drive new business across Switzerland and the EU. This role is suited to a commercially driven professional with an established network within the Risk & Compliance ecosystem, particularly across banking, financial services, and industrial sectors.
You will own the full sales lifecycle, from strategic prospecting through to deal closure, while contributing directly to Polixis’ expansion in key European markets.
Territory Scope:
The role operates within a flexible geographic structure, with a primary commercial focus on German-speaking markets (German speaking Switzerland, Germany, Austria). At the same time, the territory is not strictly limited—there is scope to pursue and develop opportunities across the broader EU and, where relevant, global clients. This structure is designed to maximize individual network leverage while aligning with Polixis’ international growth strategy.

Competitive base salary with performance-based commission
Flexible working model (Zurich-based or remote within Switzerland)
Opportunity to represent a high-quality Swiss data product with global reach
Exposure to a fast-growing RegTech company with strong market recognition
Collaborative and international working environment

The Responsibilities

Develop and execute a targeted sales strategy across Switzerland, DACH, and broader EU markets
Leverage an existing network within Risk & Compliance to generate qualified opportunities
Engage senior stakeholders (Compliance Officers, Risk Leaders, MLROs)
Deliver tailored product demonstrations and value propositions
Manage the full sales cycle: lead generation, pipeline management, negotiation, and closing
Build and maintain long-term client relationships to support retention and upsell
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and customer success teams

Your Qualifications

3–7+ years of B2B sales experience in RegTech, FinTech, AML/KYC, or SaaS or adjacent industries
Proven network within the Risk & Compliance community, ideally within DACH markets
Strong understanding of financial crime prevention, sanctions, or regulatory frameworks
Demonstrated ability to close complex, consultative sales deals
Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
