About The Position

We're seeking a Senior Sales Executive — Financial Clients to drive new growth for our AI-enabled legal technology portfolio. This role is designed to strengthen the law firm–client connection in transactional markets and unlock powerful network effects between buyers and sellers of legal services. You'll own end-to-end enterprise deal cycles with Financial/Transactional clients while partnering closely with internal cross-functional teams—and, where relevant, with strategic Global Large Law Firm (GLLF) customers—to expand adoption through direct sales and firm-enabled seat extension motions. You'll be expected to operate with high agency, build from the ground up, and help define the playbook for this team.

Requirements

4+ years of successful B2B software/SaaS sales experience with alternative asset managers (private credit, real estate, corporate credit), transactional workflows, outside counsel dynamics, or legal tech/information services
High-agency operator: you create clarity where there isn't any, develop creative solutions, and execute independently without waiting for perfect inputs
Drive and resilience: genuine motivation to build something new, take on challenges, and push through ambiguity in a change-resistant industry
Coachability: you seek feedback, learn quickly from experts, and are willing to try new methods—even when it challenges your defaults
Relationship management & business development strength: proven ability to build long-term professional relationships, earn trust with senior stakeholders, and maintain genuine curiosity about customer problems
Communication and influence: ability to align internal teams and external buying committees around a shared vision and a mutual path to value
Fluency in modern sales methodologies: MEDDICC/Challenger/Solutions Selling, mutual action plans, and value-based selling
Workflow orientation: you can translate product capabilities into customer outcomes—adoption plans, time savings, risk reduction, and measurable ROI—within diligence and transaction-heavy environments.

Responsibilities

Own full-cycle enterprise sales: prospecting, discovery, value mapping, business case development, multi-threading, negotiation, and close
Build the segment from the ground up: create and execute a focused territory and account strategy for private asset managers and hedge funds; develop repeatable motions and messaging for this buyer set
Engage senior stakeholders across investment and legal-adjacent workflows (e.g., Partners/MDs, VPs, investment teams, fund operations, GCs, legal ops/KM where applicable) with compelling storytelling, tailored demos, and ROI-driven narratives
Run structured opportunity plans: validate needs, align on success criteria, build mutual close plans, and drive complex deals to signature
Become product fluent across solutions that support transactional and diligence-heavy workflows (e.g., CoCounsel and adjacent solutions used in due diligence, drafting/review, collaboration, and benchmarking including HighQ and Noetica); tailor demos to transactional personas
Create pipeline with disciplined outbound: execute targeted outreach, ecosystem mapping, and account-based campaigns to build durable pipeline in a historically under-penetrated segment
Orchestrate internal resources (SEs, BDRs, marketing, enablement, legal, leadership) to progress multi-stakeholder opportunities and land/expand within accounts
Drive internal alignment and influence: communicate learnings from the field, shape segment positioning, and influence product/enablement priorities to accelerate adoption
Maintain forecasting rigor and CRM hygiene: accurate forecasting, consistent qualification (MEDDICC or similar), and strong opportunity documentation
