Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH)

Enterprise Sales Director

Boston Full time

At BBH, Partnership is more than a form of ownership—it’s our approach to business and relationships.  We know that supporting your professional and personal goals is the best way to help our clients and advance our business. We take that responsibility seriously. With a 200-year legacy and a shared passion for what’s next, this is the right place to build a fulfilling career.

About Us  

Our mission is to reinvent how financial services firms create, manage, and execute their data integrations and transformations. Today that process stretches across multiple teams, tools, and handoffs - slow to build, expensive to maintain, and nearly impossible to change. We collapse it into a single AI-native platform that business users can operate without writing a ticket, while engineering teams retain the governance and security controls they require. We're growing our founding team now. 

Role Overview 

We are building our first Enterprise Sales team within a newly launching fintech business serving financial services organizations across the buy side and sell side, fintechs and market infrastructure firms. 

This is a highly strategic and visible role. You will act as the voice of the initiative in the market, working closely with leadership, product and technology teams to shape both revenue growth and product direction. As the first dedicated enterprise sales professional, you will play a foundational role in defining our go-to-market approach, securing flagship clients, and building a scalable enterprise sales motion.
