  • Strong knowledge of regulatory environments, including OCC regulations, compliance in digital assets, and banking charters, to effectively position SoFi's advantages.
  • Proficiency in CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) and sales analytics to track prospects, pipelines, and performance.
  • Experience targeting and selling to diverse customer segments, such as marketplaces, banks, stablecoin issuers, exchanges, and institutional investors.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills for virtual pitches, negotiations, and relationship-building.
  • Ability to analyze client needs and map them to product features like deposit accounts, wires, ACH, SEN transfers, and digital asset infrastructure.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in digital asset or cryptocurrency ecosystems, including stablecoin issuance, custody, or trading platforms.
