US Sales Director – Financial Markets recruitment

Our client is a privately held and fast growing company providing innovative analytical software tools and research, with a foothold in the USA and Europe, but now wanting to capitalise upon their early success by appointing a sales leader to build out and lead their US sales operation.  The company is already recognised as a strong market player, have an excellent niche proposition with few competitors, a strong list of tier 1 clients within the financial markets, and are growing from strength to strength internationally.

What they need now is a strong sales leader who can take their small but growing US sales operation to ‘the next level’ as part of the company’s ambitious growth plans.  With offices and sales people already in New York you’ll have the autonomy and responsibility for reviewing, creating and driving the US sales strategy processes, and grow the sales team.  Great opportunity for a highly motivated sales leader to build out and run a highly effective “sales machine” in order to capitalise on the market potential this company has already demonstrated.


Appropriate candidates will have:
 

• A proven sales track record throughout their career - both individually and as a manager, selling either software, data, research etc to financial institutions. 

• Experience and success managing sales teams of at least 5 or more individuals (ideally 10+), so great opportunity for someone ready to take their sales management career to the next level or someone who has done this type of role before.

• On a personal level must be able to demonstrate an excellent sales leadership ability, be tenacious and results motivated, and have the personal motivation to contribute to an entrepreneurial team culture.

 

This is truly a first class career opportunity, with the benefits of working for a very innovative company, which is already successful but at an early stage, so requiring the right sales leader to “take them to the next level”.
