Associate Account Executive

WHY WE EXIST

Money should move as easily as data.

It doesn't today. Technology is finally catching up to the need — customers expect instant, global, programmable money. HIFI exists to fix that. Our mission is to make money programmable by default, and to give developers and businesses the tools to move value at software speed.

We're rebuilding the financial plumbing of the internet from the ground up.

WELCOME TO THE HIFI NEW GRAD PROGRAM

This role is part of HIFI's New Grad Program — a structured 3-month contract designed to give early-career talent real ownership, real mentorship, and a real path to full-time employment. You won't be handed busywork. You'll be embedded in a team working on live infrastructure from day one, paired with a senior colleague who will support your growth, and evaluated for a full-time offer at the end of your contract.

We're not looking for someone who has all the answers. We're looking for someone who asks the right questions, moves with urgency, and raises the bar every week they're here.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Prospect and qualify new leads across target verticals — fintech, payments, Web3, and enterprise — through research-driven outbound outreach

• Reach potential customers via email, LinkedIn, and phone, personalizing every touchpoint based on account research

• Partner with Account Executives in discovery calls, demos, and proposal preparation to move deals forward

• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and accurate pipeline reporting — if it's not in the system, it doesn't exist

• Feed market intelligence and customer insights back to GTM and product teams to sharpen our approach

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Currently completing (expected graduation June 2026) or recently completed Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Communications, Psychology, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience

• Genuine hunger to build a career in sales — not just looking for a first job

• Clear, confident communicator in writing and on the phone — you can make a point without wasting anyone's time

• Resilient and competitive — you handle rejection without losing momentum or lowering your standard

• Highly organized with strong follow-through — in sales, details and timing are everything

NICE TO HAVE

• Internship, part-time, or campus experience in sales, business development, or a customer-facing role

• Interest in fintech, payments, crypto, or financial infrastructure — you've read about the space on your own

• Familiarity with CRM tools like Salesforce or HubSpot

• You've sold something — anything — and you can tell us what you learned from it

Clarity Confusion is a signal to act.

Standards Quality matters always.

Truth We value directness without drama.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

The expected salary range for this role is $60,000 - $76,000 USD. However, the starting base pay will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity. Depending on the position offered, equity and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package.

This role begins as a 3-month contract with a structured path to full-time employment upon successful completion. During the contract period, we offer commuter benefits ($250 travel stipend)

Must be within commutable distance from our New York office and able to work in person most days of the week
