Pre-Sales Consultant – New York City, NY

 

Reporting Lines:

Head of US Sales

 

Leland Shaw LLC

 

Fast-growing, award winning financial software company achieving a large market share in the data management space seeks your technical sales and vendor-side, client facing skills for the position of Pre-Sales Consultant, based in NYC.

 

This role will work with the North American Sales Team in supporting sales efforts to prospective clients, with a focus on advanced “proof of process” strategy and development, demos and workshops.  While their Sales Execs provide initial demos, the Pre-Sales Consultant will provide advanced solutions insight leveraging actual client data.  Solution is .NET and ASP, with all data in SQL.  Thus, requires a comfort level with SQL, including querying and knowledge of stored procedures, etc.

 

Firm’s approach focuses on quality implementation consultants that empower clients to manage their own implementations, thereby enabling them to build up their own independent data management resources and not become dependent on consultancy.  Implementation success is not based on billable hours but on quality of implementations and happy clients – there is a specific model implemented to ensure that quick and efficient implementations come before core/billable hours on site.  Thus, Pre-Sales efforts closely mirror what that implementation process will entail, and current or prior implementations experience is highly valuable.

 

College degree required, and at least 3-5 years of software implementation and, ideally, Pre-Sales experience in the Financial Services industry.

 

Key skills:

 

·         Client-facing demo experience and a hands-on ability to work with technology.

·         Vendor-side experience in front, middle or back office investment software products.

·         Understand clients business requirements through an on-going consultative engagement and map these into a set of objectives for the implementation of their solution
