At Ledgy, we’re on a mission to make Europe a powerhouse of entrepreneurship by building a modern, tech-driven equity management and financial reporting platform for private and public companies. In 2026, we aim to be the leading provider for European IPOs and reporting for share-based payments. We are a value-based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to delivery the best experience for our customers and end users.

We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading investors. New Enterprise Associates led our $22m Series B round in 2022, with Philip Chopin joining Sequoia’s Luciana Lixandru on our board.

We were founded in Switzerland in 2017 and today we operate globally from offices in Zurich and London. We encourage diversity and are an international team coming from 26 different countries and speaking 25 different languages.

As a Senior Account Executive at Ledgy, you'll own the full sales cycle for complex private companies across Europe whether VC-backed scale-ups, PE-backed businesses, or evergreen private companies. These are organisations with intricate cap tables, multiple stakeholders, and real urgency around getting equity management right. Think management incentive plans, multi-entity structures, and layered ownership across portfolios.

We've already built serious momentum with some of Europe's most recognisable growth-stage organisations including; Revolut, Vinted, Lendable, SumUp, and Zopa Bank are all clients. We're backed by Sequoia and NEA, and we're de facto profitable. The model is proven, the product has real traction, and now we need the right people to take it further.

The sales team is AI-native. Claude, n8n, Notion AI, Gong. You'll be expected to find new ways to leverage them and any additional tooling, not just follow the playbook we've got.

Ledgy is uniquely positioned. We are the only platform that caters towards the needs of both complex private and large public companies. As the IPO window opens back up, that matters more than ever. For companies managing dozens of portfolio entities or preparing for exits, that full lifecycle coverage is a real differentiator you'll sell into every day.

This role requires someone who either already understands complex ownership structures or has the aptitude and background to pick it up fast, combined with demonstrated sales expertise.

Strong profiles include experience working with, or selling into PE or financial services. If you've navigated complex stakeholder environments and can hold your own in a room with CFOs, General Counsels and CHROs, you'll thrive here.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You

5+ years of sales experience in B2B SaaS, with meaningful time selling into complex accounts
Experience selling into complex organizational structures: PE-backed companies, VC-backed companies, financial services, legal, or similarly structured environments

A background that helps you understand complex ownership and governance. Maybe you were a lawyer before moving into sales, came from corporate finance, or sold cap table/equity/fund administration software. Or you're just sharp at picking up domain complexity fast

Track record of building pipeline through outbound, not just closing what comes in

A strong sense of ownership and accountability

You build credibility fast. Prospects trust you because you know your stuff, and you move with urgency because that's just how you operate
