Job description

At Upvest, we are on a mission to make investing as easy as spending money . Upvest empowers businesses to offer a wide range of investment products and the best experience in the field of capital market investment and retirement planning. Upvest’s Investment API is easy to integrate so that fintechs and financial institutions can save resources and fully focus on their core business. We are proud to partner with Europe's leading Fintechs and Financial Institutions such as DKB, Revolut, N26, and Raisin. Founded in 2017 by Martin Kassing, Upvest now brings together over 330 talented professionals from more than 70 nationalities. Upvest is backed by €280M in total funding from world-class investors, including Tencent, Sapphire Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, BlackRock, Earlybird, Notion Capital, and Motive. Our latest €105M funding round in March 2026 - led by Sapphire and Tencent - serves as a massive catalyst for our growth, allowing us to offer premier investment experiences. As Upvest enters the next stage of growth, we are looking for an exceptional sales leader for continental Europe. You will work directly with our Director of Growth Alexander Reichhardt owning the topics most critical to Upvest's expansion beyond its current home markets: About the role: Own the go-to-market for Europe's next investment markets We aim high at Upvest. Over the last years we have built one of Europe's most relevant B2B fintechs: an Investment API on top of a self-developed core banking engine, with full regulatory licences and investment operations included. Germany and the UK are proven, with more than 20 clients live and over 110 million trades processed in 2025. Our licences are passported across 20+ EEA countries, which means the infrastructure for the rest of Europe is already in place. From here we’re on a journey to enter market by market in Europe, starting with France, Spain, and Italy. This is your opportunity to turn our foundation into a flywheel for new markets. You will own the go-to-market for continental Europe end-to-end: defining which client segments we go after first, from fast-growing fintechs to established banks, building the target list and the pipeline behind it, and shaping the commercial case that wins against local incumbents and against the instinct of large banks to build it all themselves.
