Job description

Who we are: First Street is the standard for Climate Risk Financial Modeling. We use transparent and peer-reviewed methodologies to calculate the past, present, and future climate risk for every property in the world. We started working with the world’s leading climate scientists to create groundbreaking, climate-adjusted, property specific models over 8 years ago and haven’t stopped.

Our mission: We exist to connect climate and financial risk.

Our data: We create physics-based, deterministic models of flooding, wildfire and hurricanes, and advanced statistical models of extreme heat, air quality, drought, hail, severe convective storms, winter storms, and more. All of this data is used to create property-level financial risk metrics and macroeconomic variables to quantify the impacts of climate, property by property.

Our customers: We empower governments at the highest levels to make smart regulations, businesses to avoid bad investments, and everyday homebuyers to understand their personal risk from climate change. We are relied on every day by:

• Agencies ranging from the U.S. Department of Treasury to Fannie Mae

• The world's biggest banks such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo

• Institutional investors like Nuveen and Blackstone

• Millions of everyday users on Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and more

We believe: With the right data, we can identify the problems, avoid bad investments, and implement solutions. This is why we have invested tens of millions of dollars into our science, data, people, and products and have raised tens of millions more to move even faster.

Team & Role Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Account Executive to drive new business growth within the financial services sector– selling into asset owners, asset managers, REITs and other institutional investors. This role is ideal for someone with a builder mindset — an entrepreneurial seller who thrives in a startup environment, is eager to roll up their sleeves, and enjoys solving complex customer problems.

This Enterprise Account Executive role presents the opportunity to join First Street's sales team during a period of exceptional growth. You will continue building on the considerable success of founder-led sales, by establishing and executing on enterprise sales efforts at First Street as we establish ourselves as the leader in the Climate Risk Financial Modeling (CRFM) space. As an Account Executive, you will report directly to the Director of Sales, and will own the full enterprise sales cycle, from prospecting through close, while partnering closely with product, climate science, customer success, and leadership teams.

What you’ll do:

• Own and drive the full enterprise sales process: including, sales discovery & qualification, structured progression through sales stages, deal negotiation and closing

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key decision makers and stakeholders at prospects, with functions including sustainability, risk, investment teams, and across the C-Suite

• Lead consultative, value-based conversations anchored in customer pain points and business outcomes – translating complex technical climate risk analytics into clear, actionable value for prospects

• Collaborate cross-functionally to develop tailored demos, proposals, and solution architectures

• Build and maintain a rigorous pipeline with strong ICP discipline and forecasting accuracy

• Consistently exceed sales quota targets. This is a quota-carrying sales position with a strong focus on new logo acquisition

What you’ll need:

• 5–7+ years of enterprise B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally selling into financial institutions.

• Proven track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals within the B2B Enterprise SaaS space

• Builder mentality: willing to create, test, and improve sales playbooks rather than operate within rigid structures

• Capacity to learn new domains quickly and clearly communicate complex technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders

• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a startup environment with ambiguity and rapid iteration coupled with the curiosity and willingness to navigate a relatively nascent, and ever-evolving space

• Proven capability to execute go-to-market strategy with ICP discipline and a deep understanding of the market, targeted personas, and associated relevant use cases tied to the value of the First Street solution

• Track record of meeting and exceeding sales revenue targets

• Education minimum requirement - Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline

What will make you stand out:

• Experience in working Institutional Asset Managers and Asset Owners
