Posted Oct 17, 2019 - Requisition No. 79050

Financial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, track P&L, manage sales & trading and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves correctly across the enterprise, at higher speeds and lower costs. Building solutions in-house can take a large team and a larger investment. Integrators and consultants may not understand a firm’s business model or data. That’s where we come in.

Here in the Enterprise Technology Solutions team, we help firms manage that complexity. Providing common tools, services and expertise, we enable firms to simplify technology relationships, which ultimately drives lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market and improved transparency. With our track record in delivering hosted solutions and our understanding of our customers’ needs, we believe we are uniquely positioned to help clients with this challenge.

The team is enjoying an exciting period of growth and we’re seeking a dynamic, confident Production Support & Technical Relationship Representative.

  • Partner with Account Management in our buy-side and sell-side businesses to provide proactive engagements with our existing client base
  • Ensure a smooth life cycle experience, when clients move from project implementation to production support
  • Achieve targets and metrics with clients including generating leads, supporting in closing add-on sales and tangibly reducing support costs
  • Understand key competitors or alternatives and successfully protecting against displacements

You'll need to have:
