Represent Preqin at industry events, conferences and client forums, while sharing market intelligence, competitive insights and client feedback with internal stakeholders.
Your experience
Demonstrated success generating new business, converting complex enterprise opportunities and meeting or exceeding sales objectives.
Experience selling private markets data, research, workflow or technology solutions, or comparable financial services, investment technology, market data or business-to-business software-as-a-service offerings.
