About the company
Our client is a specialist investment analytics firm. For decades it has measured the decisions behind investment performance: which buys, sells and sizing calls add value, and which cost money. Its database of investment decisions is one of the largest private collections of its kind, and its clients include pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and some of the best known asset managers in the world.
Now the firm is launching new technology that puts its analytics straight into clients' hands. It's a proven business at a turning point, and it's building a new business team to take that technology to market. It's a small, founder led team, so you'll work alongside the people who built the business and your results will be plain for everyone to see.
The role
This is a hunting role. You'll find, open and close your own deals with fund managers, asset owners and investment consultants. Most haven't worked with the firm yet, and none will call first. You will.
You won't need to know the investment world on day one. The founder and senior team have decades of it, and they'll teach you in regular sessions and on live calls. What they need from you is pace: plenty of calls, plenty of meetings and a pipeline that keeps moving.
The team is flat. You'll own your patch, work directly with the founder and senior team, and you won't manage anyone. As the team grows, so does the scope of the role.
What you'll do
Build your own target list of firms and decision makers, then work it by phone, email and LinkedIn
Book and run your own meetings and demos, from first call to signed contract
Learn the firm's research well enough to hold your own with a chief investment officer
Bring the senior team into the big conversations at the right moment
Keep the CRM accurate, so anyone can see where each deal stands
Feed back what prospects tell you, so the pitch keeps getting sharper
Your first six months
Months 1 to 3: learn the product and the market, build your target list, fill your diary
Months 3 to 6: turn meetings into qualified opportunities and a pipeline you can forecast
From month 6: close new clients at a steady rate and help them get value fast
About you
3+ years in B2B sales closing your own deals, with commission statements to show
Experience selling technology, data or software to senior, demanding buyers
Most of your pipeline has come from your own outbound work
Happy working on your own: you set your plan, keep your pace and follow up until you get an answer
Articulate and polished enough for senior, analytical audiences
Financial services experience helps. If you don't have it, the team will teach you
Package, location and working pattern
Competitive base salary plus commission, discussed at first call
Office in South London, 15 minutes from London Bridge and 20 from Victoria
In the office Tuesday to Thursday, with hybrid flexibility
Why this role
You'd be selling something proven: data nobody else has, trusted by some of the biggest investors in the world and now far easier to buy. You'll learn the investment world from the people who built this corner of it, with a direct line to the founders. When the client count goes up, that's you.
