Borderless - Head of Sales
Description
Borderless.xyz is a global payments network for stablecoin on/off-ramps. Through a single API plugged into 15+ locally licensed stablecoin providers across 100 countries, it lets fintechs, PSPs, wallets, and enterprises route cross-border money movement to whichever provider they choose — solving the fragmentation of global rails and local licensing.
Seed stage with ~$6M raised ($3M pre-seed led by Amity Ventures, plus a $3M extension with Flourish Ventures; next raise planned within the year). ARR is ~$650K and growing steadily, with enterprise customers including MoneyGram, Samsung, and Sony.
A lean team of ~12 dedicated engineers, product thinkers, and payment experts, with exec team (except the CTO) based in New York.

About the Role
Borderless’s first true Head of Sales. Sales has been founder-led to date, which produced clarity on ICP, pricing, and proof points plus an existing pipeline — but founder time is now the bottleneck. This hire takes the motion over and builds the function: outbound pipeline, end-to-end closing, and eventually a team.
The sale is consultative, technical, and educational (stablecoin infrastructure), not transactional.
No direct reports initially; a solutions engineer (Dana) currently fields inbound.
ICP: crypto-native PSPs, fintechs, wallets, and remittance companies — plus the locally licensed providers themselves (both network partners and customers).
Key Responsibilities
-
Build and execute the outbound sales motion; inbound exists but is noisy — outbound is the priority.
-
Own the end-to-end sales cycle: prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating, closing.
-
Travel constantly — the cycle is conference-heavy (heavily LatAm) and deals rarely close without meeting in person.
-
Run a tight product–sales feedback loop with the technical team; things change fast at this stage.
-
Consistently hit revenue targets while building a long-term pipeline and, over time, the sales team.
