WHO YOU ARE

Non-negotiable:

• You have personally closed enterprise SaaS/platform deals (CHF/EUR 300K ARR) into banks asset managers or capital markets institutions not as a team not as support but as the deal owner
• You have experience selling technology products with 612 month sales cycles involving procurement IT security legal and multiple business sponsors

• You can run a product demo or at minimum lead a demo with pre-sales you understand the product you sell at a functional level

Strong differentiators:

• Experience selling into capital markets specifically (structured products derivatives trading technology)
• Ability to hold credible technical conversations with front-office professionals (structurers traders) without being one
• Track record of managing POC-to-production conversion in complex institutional environments
• Experience in scale-up environments where you built or refined sales processes not just inherited them

WHERE YOU MIGHT COME FROM

• We are background-agnostic as long as the enterprise software sales track record is real and verifiable. Profiles we find relevant:
• Enterprise sales professionals from capital markets technology vendors: Murex Calypso/Adenza Bloomberg Refinitiv/LSEG SIX FIS Numerix Leonteq or similar
• SaaS/platform sellers from fintech companies with institutional banking clients
• Sales leaders from trading platforms pricing engines risk systems or post-trade technology providers

Note: A background in structured products or derivatives is a plus for credibility in client conversations but it is not a substitute for enterprise software sales experience. If your primary experience is trading structuring or relationship-based brokerage this role is not the right fit.
