About The Company

Founders today are building global companies from day one — but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that!

We’re building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building.

Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade-offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment.

Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we’re building for the next generation of global companies.

About The Team

Our Sales tribe helps founders and businesses discover what Aspire can do for them. You'll work directly with prospects to understand their needs and bring them onto the platform — combining data, technology, and a deep understanding of our customers' pain points to guide them toward the right financial solutions. We thrive on challenge, celebrate wins together, and never lose sight of delivering real value. If you're energised by high ownership, fast-paced environments, and building lasting client relationships, you'll thrive here.

About The Role

We're hiring for end-to-end sales ownership of Aspire's Employer of Record (EOR) product. This is a hunter role for a proven closer — someone who doesn't wait for pipeline to land in their lap, but goes out and builds it.

You'll own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and outbound outreach to running complex, multi-stakeholder deals and driving them to close. You'll work with founders, CFOs, and HR leaders navigating international expansion, cross-border hiring, and compliance complexity, and you'll be their trusted advisor through all of it. This is the right role for you if you've closed deals at other EOR players and you're ready to bring that playbook to a high-growth fintech with a differentiated product.

What You'll Own

  • Building and owning your own outbound pipeline through cold outreach, LinkedIn, events, referrals, and partner channels
  • Identifying and targeting high-fit accounts: startups, scaling SMBs, and mid-market companies with cross-border hiring needs in SG, HK, and the broader APAC region
  • Developing a territory plan and executing it with discipline — tracking activity, pipeline health, and conversion rates in CRM
  • Collaborating with Marketing to amplify outbound efforts, while holding yourself accountable for pipeline generation regardless
  • Owning the end-to-end sales cycle from first outreach to signed contract
  • Running structured discovery to uncover hiring needs, compliance challenges, headcount growth plans, and key decision-making dynamics
  • Delivering compelling product demos and tailoring the value proposition for each stakeholder across HR, Finance, and founders
  • Handling commercial negotiation, pricing conversations, and contract sign-off with minimal escalation
  • Serving as the go-to expert on EOR, global payroll, cross-border compliance, and Aspire's product suite
  • Proactively identifying triggers for EOR adoption: market expansion, remote-first hiring strategies, cost optimisation, and compliance risk reduction
  • Advising prospects on country-specific nuances, employment law considerations, and Aspire's coverage across 50+ countries
  • Ensuring a smooth transition from closed-won to onboarding, working closely with Customer Success and Operations
  • Staying engaged during the early customer lifecycle to protect NRR and drive expansion opportunities
  • Working cross-functionally with Marketing and Product to sharpen positioning, surface product gaps, and refine the ICP
  • Maintaining clean CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, and detailed deal notes so the whole team benefits from your deal intelligence

What You Need To Be Successful

  • 4+ years of B2B SaaS or HRTech/EOR/Payroll sales experience, with at least 2 years in a full-cycle AE role
  • A proven track record of consistently hitting or exceeding quota, with specific deal examples you can speak to
  • Strong outbound muscle — you've built pipeline from scratch, not just worked inbound queues
  • Experience closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals with ACV of USD 30K+ annually
  • Excellent communication and executive presence; you're comfortable pitching to a CFO or CEO
  • Based in Singapore or India, with the ability to meet customers in person when needed
  • Ideally, prior experience at Deel, Remote, Multiplier, Rippling, Velocity Global, Papaya Global, or a comparable EOR/HRTech company
  • Deep familiarity with EOR, cross-border payroll, global employment compliance, or international HR
  • Experience selling into APAC and/or South Asia, with an understanding of buyer personas, decision cycles, and regional nuances
  • Comfort using data and CRM analytics to drive forecasting and prioritise opportunities
  • The ability to run webinars, roundtables, or in-person events to build pipeline and brand presence
  • Has a strong grasp of artificial intelligence concepts and the ability to apply AI tools (e.g. Claude, n8n, etc.) and frameworks to solve real-world problems at Aspire
