You’ll be selling into senior stakeholders including C-suite (CEO, CTO, CFO, CDO) and heads of investment operations.

What They’re Looking For
* 2–5 years’ experience in B2B software/solutions sales
* Proven quota achievement in a new business role

* Background in selling solutions such as:
* Data / data platforms / analytics
* OMS / PMS / trade lifecycle tech
* Regulatory / reporting solutions
* Treasury / reconciliation / operations tech
* Managed services / outsourcing
* Comfortable with enterprise sales motions (multi-stakeholder, long cycles)
* Strong commercial instinct with a genuine hunter mentality
* Able to engage credibly with both business and technical stakeholders
Why This Role
* New logo role with significant growth opportunities
* Access to 5,000–10,000 targeted prospects and strong sales tooling
* Backed by pre-sales analysts and product SMEs
* Established global client base + strong brand credibility
* High-value deals with meaningful commission upside
* Clear growth trajectory as the UK/EU business scales
Interview process
