• Attend industry events, tradeshows, and conferences to represent the business professionally.
• Maintain sales activity and records in CRM (Salesforce knowledge is a plus).
• Support RFI and RFP processes with help from the technical team.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in selling solutions & services to the Financial Services sector in Europe – payments, treasury, finance, risk control, regulatory compliance functions, post‑trade back‑office and middle office operations.
• Proven track record of achieving sales targets, including quarterly and yearly achievements.
• Proven track record of selling to new name clients/prospects.
• Experience in selling to Financial Services Institutions (with experience in C‑level or senior management engagement/contacts).
• Ability to grasp complex fintech solutions and articulate value to clients.
  
• Coordination and collaboration required with clients and colleagues located globally.
• Willingness to travel when required.
