Sr Financial Services Sales Consultant
Financial Services Startup Serving Asset and Investment Management Companies
Right now, Asset and Investment Management Companies are in a competitive battle like never before. In a post-pandemic world and unrelenting competition previously unseen, deal teams and investor relationship leaders are looking for competitive weapons to drive new growth opportunities and ways to stay closer to their current customers. But how can leadership create new competitive initiatives in an environment of disparate and manually driven systems.
Just at the right time, our client has developed an automated workflow solution to bring investment management firms closer to their customers while automating workflows to collaborate and synchronize disparate systems they now struggle to use in their demanding day-to-day work environment.
Our client is empowering financial services companies across all sectors with collaborative workflow solutions that drive personalized customer engagement and lifetime value. Serving over 150 clients, 25 of the top 50 alternative asset managers, and over $3.5 trillion of assets, we are the only solution that integrates deal flow management, fundraising, reporting, and investor services into one cloud-native platform. Our client just raised $30M in venture funding, and we are looking to scale our go-to-market team across North America. We are a "no-ego" collaborative culture based in Menlo Park, California.
We are looking for success-driven Financial Services Sales Consultants to join our sales teams serving Asset and Investment Management organizations in the New York Metro and the San Francisco Bay Area. As a Financial Services Sales Consultant, you will work closely with the sales and professional services teams to help win new customers and upsell existing customers on our client's solution modules. To properly position our client's solutions and services, you are responsible for working closely with the customer to understand their business initiatives, challenges, and technical requirements.
