Who we are looking for We are looking for an individual with a proven track record of high performance and an ability to build relationships and influence decision makers. As a part of our Alpha sales team, the ideal candidate should have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and be prepared to 'carry a room' filled with senior executives from the asset management industry. The candidate will be expected to understand the CEO agenda at our clients and convey the value of our Alpha Platform in the context of our client's strategic ambitions and pain points. Extensive industry and product experience will enable this candidate to target new prospects in the asset manager, asset owner, insurance and/or official institution segments. However, given the breadth of the Alpha platform we do not expect candidates to know the entire value chain on day one: this role will require constant learning as the platform evolves and as no two prospects are the same, so a proven ability to learn quickly and confidence putting new knowledge to work is essential to succeeding in the role. Based from a key location in the APAC, this role will have responsibility for all clients in the region and as such will travel extensively within the region.
Join us if making your mark in the financial services industry from day one is a challenge you are up for.

What we value These skills will help you succeed in this role
Proven track record of high-performance in previous roles, regardless of function or industry (e.g. rapid promotions, tangible outcomes and achievements)
Demonstrated ability to interact and build relationships with senior executives
Proven ability to articulate a value proposition and sell to clients / prospects
Ability to work within a collaborative environment to achieve results, including management of complex teams with or without direct reporting lines
