About Arcana
Arcana was named one of LinkedIn's Top Startups of 2026 , among the 50 fastest-rising companies in the U.S, alongside Anthropic, Perplexity, Cognition, etc.
Arcana is the front-office portfolio intelligence platform built for hedge funds and asset managers. It gives investment professionals—from CIOs and portfolio managers to analysts and risk teams—the software they need to understand performance and risk, construct portfolios, evaluate investments, and make better decisions.
The institutional investment software stack hasn't kept up with how modern investment teams work, and we're rebuilding it from the ground up.
The Role
This is a senior individual contributor role with a multi-million quota ownership and real room to make your mark. You'll take Arcana into some of the most sophisticated investment firms and sit across the table from CIOs, heads of risk, and portfolio managers.
We're looking for a top-tier enterprise seller who consistently finishes at the top of their team. You enjoy complex, high-stakes institutional sales cycles, and you care as much about growing an account as about closing it. At a company our size, every deal you close is visible and moves the business.
What You'll Do
Run the full cycle. Handle every stage, from sourcing and executive engagement through solution positioning, procurement, and close.
Win complex deals. Close multi-stakeholder SaaS contracts with hedge funds and asset managers.
Build lasting relationships. Become a trusted partner to CIOs, COOs, Heads of Risk, PMs, and senior investment leaders.
Be the face of Arcana. Represent us at industry conferences and in senior-level meetings.
Shape the product. Work closely with Product and Leadership to turn what you hear in the market into strategy.
What You Bring
5+ years of enterprise sales experience, ideally selling into hedge funds, asset managers, or institutional allocators
A track record as a consistent top performer who closes high-value enterprise deals
Proven success closing high-ACV SaaS or financial technology contracts
Fluency in institutional investment workflows, including portfolio analytics, attribution, risk, alpha/beta, drawdowns, and factor models
Exceptional executive presence and communication skills
Nice to Have
MBA, CFA, or similar credential
Experience selling portfolio analytics, risk systems, OMS/PMS, or market data solutions
Experience as a senior regional individual contributor
