Who we are:

We are a leader in fraud prevention and AML compliance. Our platform uses device intelligence, behavior biometrics, machine learning, and AI to stop fraud before it happens.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally within the Sardine team to provide market feedback from prospects and clients.

What You’ll Need:

  • 15+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience.

  • 8+ years of proven success in selling to US banks and Fortune 1000s, with expertise in fraud and compliance preferred.

  • An extensive network of industry executives and leaders.
