• Have successfully engaged and built relationships with senior decision-makers across major banks, insurers or similarly complex, highly regulated organisations.
• Can confidently articulate the value, provenance, quality and limitations of data products to both commercial and technical audiences.
• Have a demonstrated track record of owning and progressing opportunities through the full enterprise sales lifecycle, from prospecting and qualification through to negotiation and contract execution.
• Have successfully closed complex, high-value enterprise deals involving multiple stakeholders, lengthy sales cycles and formal governance processes.

• Possess the technical credibility to engage with data, analytics and technology stakeholders, translating technical concepts into clear business value.
• Excel at leading customer discovery and solution-shaping conversations, working closely with product and technical teams to develop commercially viable solutions.
