Sr Sales Account Executive - Strategic Financial Accounts
Financial Services Startup Serving Asset and Investment Management Companies
(Chicago and San Francisco)
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 looking for a Sr Sales Account Exec regarded as a trusted business advisor who has deep knowledge and expertise about their customer's business to drive revenue within Financial Services organizations in the Asset and Investment Management verticals. You will simplify and craft a compelling value proposition linked to the customer's business goals. You will need to be curious, tenacious, and relationship-driven. Our Strategic Account Executives are responsible for evangelizing and selling our solutions to Strategic Accounts by applying a thorough understanding of the prospects use cases and differentiating with a business value proposition.
You will be responsible for overall sales alignment to our Northeast Financial Services marketplace, developing insightful and actionable plans, overseeing day-to-day sales process execution, and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
