About Our Client
Our client is a global network infrastructure and connectivity specialist trusted by over 600 of the world's most data-intensive businesses. Their client base spans the full breadth of financial services — banks, hedge funds, trading firms, exchanges and market infrastructure providers — and their product suite covers ultra-low latency connectivity, private line networking, cloud infrastructure, proximity hosting and managed services. This is mission-critical infrastructure for firms where milliseconds matter and downtime simply isn't an option.
The Role
This is a pure new business role. We're looking for a driven, well-networked BDM to identify, pursue and close new logo opportunities across financial services — targeting banks, trading firms, hedge funds, exchanges and financial platforms. You'll be selling a genuinely differentiated infrastructure proposition into senior technical and commercial stakeholders, with the full support of a world-class engineering and solutions team behind you. This is a relationship-led, consultative sale with real complexity and real reward.
