About the role:

This is an exciting time for Forter as we have seen great success in the market and are building a team to support our growth in China. We are looking for a talented and self-driven Enterprise Account Executive who thrives in a dynamic, complex sales cycle environment. The successful candidate will play a fundamental role in achieving our ambitious customer acquisition and revenue growth objectives across China's eCommerce and payments ecosystem.

What you'll be doing:

• Work closely with a named list of enterprise prospect accounts, using a consultative approach to identify pain points that Forter's Identity Intelligence platform can solve
• Actively understand each customer's technology footprint, strategic growth plans, business drivers, technology strategy, and competitive landscape
• Drive business development, forecast accurately, and achieve strategic goals by leading customers through the full sales cycle — from prospecting through close
• Collaborate with internal teams and Pre-sales Solutions Consultants to create customized presentations and tailored ROI models
• Identify and build relationships with economic champions and buyers within major accounts, positioning Forter's value proposition to the right business and technical stakeholders
• Apply structured sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC/MEDDPIC, Challenger Sale, or Command of the Message) to qualify, advance, and close enterprise deals
• Provide field analysis and feedback to help shape sales collateral and longer-term expansion planning
• Represent Forter at industry events and sales meetings with key eCommerce and payments players across China

What you'll need:

• 6–8+ years as a top quota-carrying direct sales executive, with a proven track record of outperforming targets — with 3+ years specifically in payments, fraud prevention, identity, or adjacent fintech SaaS
• Demonstrated success selling innovative enterprise SaaS solutions, particularly within the FinTech and payments ecosystem
• Strong network and proven track record of enterprise sales within top eCommerce and online business companies in China is a strong plus.
• Bilingual fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English — written and verbal — with the ability to engage confidently at all organisational levels
• Deep understanding of the online payments industry, including credit card issuing/acquiring and the broader payments ecosystem
• Proficiency with a recognised sales methodology (MEDDIC, MEDDPIC, Challenger Sale, Command of the Message, or equivalent)
• Strong ability to build relationships through prospecting, leveraging industry contacts, and developing and closing new business
• Exceptional professional presence, with outstanding presentation, communication, and negotiation skills
• Experience in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment, with the ability to thrive amid rapid change
• Ability to travel within China and internationally as required
