• Build trusted executive-level relationships across client organisations.
• Support targeted expansion opportunities and commercial growth initiatives.
• Partner with Sales, Revenue Operations, Finance, Product, Legal, and Client Success teams to ensure successful client outcomes.
• Deliver accurate forecasting, reporting, and pipeline management.

• Conduct executive business reviews focused on value delivery and future requirements.
• Lead commercial discussions, pricing negotiations, and contract renewals.
• Build relationships with stakeholders across Trading, Investment Management, Technology, Operations, Procurement, and Executive Leadership teams.
• Use data, reporting, product utilisation insights, and engagement metrics to assess account health and renewal risk.
• Collaborate with internal teams to remove commercial blockers and accelerate decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen customer adoption and long-term retention.
• Maintain accurate forecasts, pipeline visibility, and CRM reporting.
• Act as a trusted advisor throughout the customer lifecycle.
