Sales Director (Enterprise)

Post-Trade Technology | Capital Markets

Location: London (Hybrid)

£100,000 – £140,000 base + uncapped commission + equity

This is a high-impact enterprise sales role within a fast-emerging capital markets technology firm entering its next growth phase.

You’ll join at a pivotal moment:
  • Product going live imminently
  • Institutional relationships already established
  • Clear pathway from pilot engagements to enterprise rollouts

The Opportunity
The platform is tackling post-trade inefficiencies across derivatives, securities lending, and collateral workflows, enabling firms to modernise without full system replacement.

Key differentiators:
  • Cross-asset workflow orchestration (not siloed solutions)
  • Built on industry-recognised data standards
  • Supports both traditional and emerging digital settlement models

The Role
This is a pure enterprise sales position focused on originating and closing new business.

You will:
  • Build pipeline across banks, asset managers, and fund administrators
  • Own full sales cycle: origination ? pilot ? commercial rollout
  • Lead complex, multi-stakeholder engagements (operations, tech, legal, front office)
  • Position value-led transformation rather than product features
  • Execute land-and-expand strategies via approved vendor frameworks
  • Work closely with leadership, product, and strategic partners

Ideal Profile
  • 8–15 years experience in enterprise sales within capital markets technology
  • Strong exposure to post-trade, operations, or workflow solutions
  • Demonstrated success in complex, consultative sales environments
  • Comfortable building pipeline from scratch (no SDR reliance)
  • Experience selling into transformation programmes vs point solutions

Highly advantageous:
  • Network across mid-tier banks and buy-side firms
  • Experience with pilot-led sales motions
  • Background in vendors across post-trade, collateral, or securities finance

What Makes This Different
  • Not selling into saturated “red ocean” markets — this is emerging category creation
  • Ability to influence product direction through client interaction
  • Direct access to founders and leadership
  • Realistic pathway into broader leadership as the business scales

Why this role
  • Early-stage upside without early-stage risk (funded, validated, go-live imminent
  • Exposure to some of the most complex and strategic problems in capital markets
  • Opportunity to be part of a foundational commercial team
