London, United Kingdom Credit Benchmark Full time

**Who we are**

Credit Benchmark is a financial data analytics company that has partnered with the world’s leading financial institutions to create the largest and most sophisticated contributed credit risk data platform in the market.

We help clients identify, quantify, and monitor credit risk across a wide array of exposures by leveraging CB’s unique and sophisticated data and analytics. The comprehensive nature of CB’s consensus ratings coverage on over 100,000 sovereigns, FIs, NBFIs, corporates and funds uniquely places CB as the leading provider of credit risk intelligence.

We have experienced significant growth over the last 12 months in the SRT space, and this is fast becoming a core component of our commercial strategy. Within the Risk Transfer space, 30+ of the largest market participants in Europe and Canada leverage our data to help with assessing transactions and to manage their portfolio.

We are looking to capitalize on the continued expected growth by adding an experienced Sales Director to the commercial team in London.

**The role**

We are looking for a Sales Director to join our London office to spearhead our expansion efforts in EMEA & APAC with a strong focus on structured credit, insurance and asset managers. You will be responsible for quantifying and growing our SRT, Insurance & AM segments by identifying, qualifying, developing and closing sales opportunities. The identification of networks and interlinkage between the Sell-side (which drives our dataset) and the Buy-side will be crucial for success in this role.

You will have access to a proven and effective playbook, and extensive evidence of success across our existing portfolio of clients. In addition, you will have a strong support team comprised of highly experienced credit risk experts, quants, product specialists and technical sales engineers, to aid the sales process.

We are looking for someone who will help us build a business that we believe will be the cornerstone of our commercial success, not just a salesperson looking to bring in individual deals.

The role will be based in London with a hybrid schedule of three days in the office minimum. and moderate travel.

**Your responsibilities will include**
- Develop a clear and executable strategy of client acquisition leveraging a segment-based approach
- Prospecting new clients with a view of building a strong and viable pipeline of new opportunities
- Clear qualification (in and out) of viable prospects and appropriate prioritization of firm resources on sales opportunities
- Navigating prospects through the sales process with the view of bringing clients on board (including negotiating commercial terms within standard pricing band tolerances)
- Become a market-visible advocate within specific client segments on the value proposition of Credit Benchmark
- Having ownership of identified and developed client segments akin to running a business

**What we are looking for**

Ideally you will:

- 5 to 7 years of experience within financials markets, ideally within structured credit / SRT and Insurance
- Have a solid understanding of financial markets; knowledge of credit risk analytics, fixed income solutions or capital market services; and/or experience working in a top tier banking, investor or consulting firm
- Experience in interacting with specific buy-side client types (eg. Banks, Insurance, Specialist Asset Managers such as CLO, CRT, Structured Credit, Private Debt, Secondaries, etc)
- Be able to leverage existing relationships to gain entry points to prospective clients
- Having worked in an entrepreneurial environment and / or a proven track record in selling a completely new product/data set would be highly advantageous.
- Ability to generate leads and develop relationships, where none exist and follow-up effectively
- Ability to drive product development that allows effective integration into client workflow
- Understanding of recurring revenue businesses (annuity revenue model)
- Experience in leveraging market standard CRM (eg. Salesforce) and ability to help drive best practices
- Excellent networking and presentations skills (both written and spoken)
- Proactive, with an ability to work under pressure and deliver to deadlines
- Collaborative approach and strong team player
- Fluency in other foreign languages a bonus
- Eligible to work in the U.K.

**Benefits**
- Generous commission scheme
- Holidays: Competitive holiday package
- Health and Wellbeing: Paid sick and bereavement leave and private health Insurance cover
- Pension: Opportunity to join company pension plan with financial education and support
- Travel: Cycle to work scheme
- Healthy work/life balance
- Family Friendly: Supportive environment and paid leave for new parents
