• Collaborate with sales leadership to set team goals, track progress, and implement best practices that drive consistent performance

• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets in a complex, solutions-based sales environment
• Prior experience in sales leadership, team lead, or player/coach capacity is strongly preferred
• Experience selling financial technology, data, or analytics solutions is highly desirable
• Deep and well-established network of contacts across the Americas trading community, including hedge funds, asset managers, broker-dealers, and other institutional participants
