  • Find your way through complex buying structures, from portfolio managers and analysts to data and procurement teams

  • Work alongside research, data science, customer success and sales development colleagues to build and close opportunities
  • Own a new business target, with tiered commission that rises as you push past it

What you’ll bring

  • A track record of winning new business by selling data, research or information services to financial institutions
  • A clear grasp of how investment firms evaluate and buy data
  • Experience from an expert network, alternative data provider or private markets data business is particularly welcome
  • Hunger, curiosity and a genuine drive to earn on commission. Attitude and ability count for more than years served
  • Sharp commercial thinking and the confidence to hold credible conversations with sophisticated investors
