• Deliver tailored product demonstrations aligned to client-specific use cases.
• Manage multi-stakeholder deal cycles across research, data, and commercial teams.
• Partner closely with BDRs, product, and leadership to refine messaging and strengthen pipeline development.
• Maintain accurate pipeline visibility and forecasting in CRM.
• Consistently meet or exceed quarterly revenue targets.

• Experience selling data, analytics, or research solutions
• Comfort working with investment research teams, hedge funds, asset managers, or strategy organizations
• Strong understanding of consultative sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders
• Ability to translate complex datasets into clear business and investment value
• Strong discovery and storytelling skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
