Why This Business

This global SaaS leader is reshaping how financial institutions manage their subscription and market data spend. With a powerful platform and integrated services already used by top-tier banks and asset managers, they combine scale with sharp commercial focus. Backed by a leading PE firm, they’re now building out a best-in-class sales team to support their next growth chapter.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Win new business and expand existing accounts across financial services

• Drive strategic conversations with senior market data, procurement, and C-suite stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• Experience leading complex, multi-threaded sales cycles with high deal values
• A consultative, value-led sales approach with clear commercial acumen

Who This Suits

You’re a high-energy, commercially minded sales professional ready to step into a role with genuine scope, autonomy, and reward. You’re excited by data-driven selling, hitting the road to build trust, and being part of a team that’s dialled into a high-growth, PE-backed playbook. If you want to close meaningful deals – not just manage accounts – this is your seat at the table.
