Employment type: Full Time/Direct Hire (No Agency/No C2C)

About Ippon:

The Ippon story started in 2002 in Paris, France - cue the accordion, berets, and crêpes. Our founder and CEO, Stéphane Nomis, drew on his experience as an international Judo champion to build a technical consulting firm rooted in the sport’s core values: ambition, discipline, and excellence. Those principles continue to shape how we support clients and deliver work today. We work alongside technical partners such as AWS and Snowflake, balancing technical advisory and hands-on delivery for clients in Financial Services and other highly regulated industries. As organizations navigate the shift toward AI-enabled operations, Ippon helps clients move from experimentation to real business outcomes by modernizing data platforms, implementing responsible AI practices, and embedding intelligence into core systems and workflows. We specialize in legacy system migrations, cloud-native design, modernization, operational efficiency, accessibility, governance, and building scalable platforms that support long-term business success.

About the position:

Account Executives at Ippon Technologies are responsible for driving Consulting Services growth by networking, identifying prospects, developing pipeline, qualifying, negotiating, developing SOWs, and closing sales opportunities for new and existing clientele. This role will support full-cycle sales across the NYC region for clientele in the banking, insurance, hedge funds, asset management, and other regulated industries. We have an established portfolio of active clients in Major Capital Markets and Banks across the region. With that said, success in this position will require you to regularly be available for in-person initiatives that strengthen client, partner, and prospect relationships.

Ippon’s sales approach is outcome-oriented, positioning cloud, data, AI, engineering services, and enablement offerings through clear business value and ROI. Client relationships typically begin with assessments or pilot engagements and expand into larger initiatives over time that often lead to repeat business. A critical component of this role includes partnering alongside AWS and Snowflake to co-sell opportunities and bring value through aligned go-to-market strategies, enabling accelerated growth for us, our clients, and partners.
