Senior Associate Account Executive, Financial Services

About the Team:

Our Financial Services Sales team builds lasting partnerships with some of the most influential firms in the industry — hedge funds, asset managers, investment banks, and private equity firms.

We engage with professionals across all levels, from Junior Analysts and Portfolio Managers to Directors of Research and Heads of Equities. Our tenured team brings deep industry expertise and a consultative approach, delivering tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of the financial services landscape. With years of collective experience, we pride ourselves on providing clients with trusted insights, strategic value, and exceptional service.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a dynamic and ambitious new business sales professional to join our expanding Financial Services Sales team, focusing on the Financial Markets segment.

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, globally recognized company and drive adoption of a product that’s transforming how financial professionals access and act on information. You’ll play a key role in shaping our continued success by leading new business growth within your territory.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the end-to-end sales process within your territory — covering hedge funds, asset managers, investment banks, and sell-side research teams.
• Partner with Sales Development Representatives to research, prospect, and build new relationships through consultative selling.
• Deliver engaging product demonstrations that align client needs with AlphaSense’s value propositions.
• Manage product trials in collaboration with Product Specialists to ensure successful client adoption and conversion.
• Maintain a robust pipeline and deliver accurate forecasting to meet or exceed ambitious sales targets.
• Act as the voice of the customer, sharing feedback to help shape our product and go-to-market strategies.

Who You Are:

• Proven Sales Performer: 3+ years of SaaS sales experience, ideally selling into Financial Services. You excel at value-based, consultative selling and consistently exceed quota in a hunter/new logo role.
• Business proficiency in Japanese is highly desirable to effectively serve clients in the Japanese-speaking market (Though candidates without this skillset are still welcome to apply!)
• Resilient & Driven: You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments, balancing competing priorities with energy and focus.
• Curious & Coachable: You ask great questions, seek feedback, and are committed to continuous learning and development.
• Tech-Savvy Closer: You’re comfortable managing demos, trials, and full-cycle sales using modern sales tools and processes.
• Compelling Communicator: You articulate complex, AI-driven solutions clearly and persuasively across varied audiences.
• Financial Services Fluent: You understand buy- and sell-side workflows, market dynamics, and client pain point
