The Role

Addepar has experienced exponential growth in the Institutional market segment, which includes endowments, foundations, pensions, sovereigns, OCIOs, insurers, and alternative asset managers across all asset classes. Some of the largest asset owners in the world have chosen to partner with us deeply at the very core of their tech stack, and simultaneously, global alternative managers such as private equity, venture capital, and fund-of-funds are choosing Addepar to power their business and future growth strategy.

NYC has been the Institutional team's launchpad, and we are looking for a seasoned, client-focused Senior Sales Engineer to continue growing our global presence in the institutional vertical. This is an incredibly unique opportunity to help establish and grow a hyper-growth line of business within an already-global technology company.

As a strategic partner throughout the sales process, you will lead high-stakes engagements with C-Suite executives and key stakeholders, leveraging your deep understanding of financial software and the investment management industry to position Addepar as a mission-critical component of their long-term business strategy.

You will work with Account Executives to drive the technical side of the sales cycle. Internally, you will work with teams to ensure our prospects are abreast of the product development, workflows, and use cases at Addepar. You are a leader and subject matter expert that other internal teams can rely on and one that prospects seek guidance from.

Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate's starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions.
