What’s the role?

As a key member of our rapidly growing EMEA Sales team, you’ll be responsible for prospecting, generating new sales leads and growth through referrals, cold-calling and market research within your given client base. You’ll work closely with prospects to gain a clear understanding of their business needs, and provide consultative solutions to build stronger relationships. You’ll also play a role in influencing the direction of our products by providing feedback on user workflow demand, competitor intelligence, and market trends.

You'll need to demonstrate credibility with a proven competency and knowledge of the buy-side community, have understanding of the operational and trading activities of the fund, and have familiarity with the Portfolio Performance and Risk analytics/ Order management space.

You’ll be a good listener too, and be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in our clients.

We’ll trust you to focus on these 3 core areas;

1) Revenue;

• Manage the Enterprise sales engagement smoothly from beginning to end
• Leverage market, product and technical expertise to identify client needs
• Understand client needs, current workflows, proposed solutions, commercials and time lines to meet their goals
• Manage the pre-sales pipeline efficiently, including requirements gathering, articulation of requirements, and the internal and external resource and people management

2) Knowledge;

You’ll demonstrate a depth of understanding and fluency in the following areas;

• The marketplace
• The Customer’s business (who their customers are, their peers and developing trends to help them succeed)
• The Customer’s technology stack, workflows, and internal structure (organisational chart, the decision making process and competing products)
• Match the features, solutions, and benefits of Bloomberg product offerings to their needs
• You’ll also leverage this knowledge to build and maintain credibility with clients, identify gaps and recommend solutions; to deliver on revenue-generating and adoption/usage goals

3) Pipeline Management;

• Establish and execute a pipeline target market strategy for achieving sales targets through the appropriate stages of the sales cycle (long, medium, short- term)
• Build relationships internally and across client organizations to ensure that all stakeholders are managed appropriately as part of the sales process
• Balance engagements across the sales life-cycle to maintain desired pipeline levels for long, medium, and short-term sales

You’ll need to have:

• Experience in sales where you have met or exceeded demanding targets
• Fluency in German
• Fluency in Italian would also be preferred (though not essential)
• A competent grasp on asset management and hedge funds workflow structure
• A solid understanding of fixed income and derivatives
