This is a quota‑carrying, new business sales role at the intersection of data, regulation, and reputation, where success depends on disciplined execution, trusted engagement with senior decision‑makers, and delivering measurable growth in a global, mission‑driven environment.

- Engage credibly with senior stakeholders across Risk, Compliance, Sustainability, Investment, Procurement, and IT, tailoring value propositions to distinct buyer personas.
- Translate regulatory, fiduciary, and reputational risk challenges into clear, differentiated commercial use cases and platform positioning.
- Lead complex deal orchestration involving legal, procurement, data, IT, and vendor risk teams; position the platform as mission‑critical infrastructure.

- Proven success in new business origination and outbound selling of complex data products or enterprise software into financial institutions, including navigating highly regulated buyers and long, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles. Experience working at a financial institution is a big plus.
- Strong performance orientation: consistent record of meeting or exceeding new business revenue targets, pipeline coverage ratios, deal conversion metrics, and activity KPIs. Comfortable operating in a data‑driven sales environment with high performance transparency.
- Strong execution discipline: ability to run complex deals end-to-end independently, consistent pipeline hygiene, and effective stakeholder and territory management. Willingness to travel regularly (approx. 20–25%).
- High proficiency with CRM systems, outreach and automation tools; LinkedIn Sales Navigator; AI tools.
- Fluent English required; German a big plus; additional European languages a further advantage.
