Customer Solutions Engineer

Recognised as a Great Place to Work, ITRS is an Enterprise SaaS provider with industry-leading solutions. Our prestigious customer base includes 90% of the world's top investment banks. We are backed by leading private equity investors and are rapidly growing.

Our headquarters are in Shoreditch - London's tech hub - with offices in other UK and global locations from the Netherlands to Manila, NYC and Florida. We pride ourselves on a diverse, friendly, dynamic culture - with a focus on internal promotion and developing our people.
Scope of Role

This is a front-line presales position working alongside our global sales teams, to drive new logo growth in the US and servicing the world's largest financial services organisation; including 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks.
