• Manage and update a robust pipeline in Salesforce to meet monthly and quarterly goals.

• Regional Expertise & Positioning: Develop deep familiarity with how EMEA-based institutional investors use macroeconomic research to drive allocation decisions.
• Tailor pitches to align with region-specific investment strategies and regulatory contexts (e.g., SFDR, MiFID II).
• Attend EMEA-focused conferences, webinars, and in-person events to cultivate relationships and opportunities.

• Internal Collaboration: Work closely with Alpine’s economists and senior leadership to guide client conversations.
• Share market intelligence with Research and Product teams.
• Partner with Account Management to ensure smooth handover and retention of new clients.
