This is a high-growth, PE-backed technology platform used by Tier-1 financial institutions to monitor, analyse and optimise mission-critical trading and infrastructure environments.

The software sits deep within low-latency, high-throughput financial systems where uptime, performance and operational intelligence are business-critical.

Following sustained global growth, new product launches and strategic acquisitions, the firm is expanding its UK Financial Services sales capability.

This is a senior role focused on complex enterprise platform sales into highly technical environments.

Commercial Scope

Deals are large, strategic and multi-year:

• £100k+ minimum entry point
• £500k typical deal value
• £1m–£4m+ enterprise agreements

Sales cycles vary from rapid expansion deals inside existing environments through to 9–12 month competitive displacement campaigns.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning and expanding relationships with major Financial Services institutions
• Identifying new technical use cases across infrastructure, trading platforms and data environments
• Leading complex enterprise sales cycles from technical discovery through to commercial close
• Engaging deeply with engineering and architecture stakeholders to position platform value
• Running structured evaluations and technical PoCs with defined operational outcomes
• Driving multi-threaded engagement across technology and commercial stakeholders
• Delivering high-quality presentations to both technical and executive audiences

Experience from the following areas is particularly relevant:

• Observability platforms

Culture & Environment

• Opportunity to work on genuinely cutting-edge observability and AI-driven operational analytics
