About Silent Eight
We’ve been a trusted partner to the world’s largest financial institutions for over a decade, with AI running in production at global banks including HSBC and Standard Chartered. We automate the compliance decisions that stop money laundering and terrorism financing — at scale, in production, on real cases.
Now we’re scaling our European footprint, and we’re looking for the person to lead it from Poland (our HQ is in Warsaw — you can be based anywhere in the country).
The Role
Reporting directly to our CEO, you’ll own the full go-to-market for Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institutions across Europe — from pipeline to close.
This is a role for someone who lives on planes. You’ll be based in Poland and on the ground roughly 70% of the time with banks across the UK, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, and Southern Europe — building relationships, running deal cycles, closing.
What We Offer
- Base 40,000–55,000 PLN / month+ with commission accelerators above quota. Total compensation in the top quartile for European enterprise SaaS sales
- Senior-level equity grant with four-year vesting
- B2B contract paid time off that grows with you, and a quarterly wellness allowance added directly to your invoice
- Modern sales stack (Claude, Clay, Salesforce, ZoomInfo) and a platform that already works — AI in production at Tier 1 banks, so you’re selling something real
- A seat at the table — direct access to the CEO, a real voice in shaping European go-to-market strategy
