About the Role: The Financial Data Application Specialist role at AlphaSense lives at the intersection of sales, customer success, and technical implementation for AlphaSense’s financial data products. This is a new team at AlphaSense supporting a strategic area of investment for the business, so we are looking for entrepreneurial minded people that can use learnings from client discussions to help optimize both our go-to-market and product strategies. Specialists add value across our revenue organization by building relationships with prospects and clients, providing deep technical knowledge to demonstrate the value of AlphaSense’s financial data while helping to drive adoption.

What You’ll Do:

• Growth Initiatives: Assist sales in demos and strategic trials of AlphaSense’s financial data solutions. The team also runs trial training calls, making the ability to overcome common objections and communicate our value proposition essential to success.
• Customer Health: The team works hand in hand with account management, speaking with and visiting users to provide advanced training, customizations, and product consultations. Specialists often drive adoption by building custom templates or other bespoke modeling tools for our customers.
• Subject Matter Expert: Specialists have expertise in quantitative analysis for investment and valuation decisions. They know the use cases that our customers are likely to care about, and package it for utilization by sales and account management.
• Product Direction: Because of our Specialists’ deep understanding of both our financial data products and customers, they are in a position to field feedback and identify product opportunities, and relay that information across the organization.
• Consultative Support: Act as an escalation point for our product and support teams on difficult scenarios our customers may face with our solutions, particularly when leveraging Excel Add-ins.
