About The Role:

With over 500+ fundamental investor clients, we are now expanding our footprint into the quantitative investment space. We’re launching new data feeds tailored to systematic strategies and we are seeking a Senior Sales Executive to lead our growth in this vertical. This individual will play a pivotal role in introducing YipitData’s alternative data feed products to quantitative hedge funds and other systematic investment firms.

You will own the full sales cycle — from identifying and qualifying leads to closing deals. This is primarily a new business (hunting) role, ideal for someone who thrives on building new relationships and breaking into complex, data-driven markets.

What You’ll Do:

• Act as a primary driver of revenue growth by selling YipitData’s feed products into quantitative and systematic investment funds.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of opportunities through proactive outreach and your existing network.
• Collaborate with internal product teams to tailor solutions that address clients’ specific data needs.
• Manage the complete sales process — from prospecting to contract execution — ensuring exceptional client experience.
• Represent YipitData at relevant conferences, industry events, and client meetings to strengthen our presence in the quant community.
  

You Are Likely to Succeed If You:

• Have 4+ years of experience in financial data sales, with a proven track record selling to quantitative hedge funds or asset managers.
• Have a proven track record of exceeding quota and successfully introducing complex or technical data products to new clients.
• Leverage your network within the quant and systematic community to build pipeline
• Are resourceful, resilient, and energized by the challenge of opening new doors.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment and are motivated by team and company success, not just individual achievement.

What We Offer:

Our compensation package includes comprehensive benefits, perks, and a competitive salary:

We care about your personal life, and we mean it. We offer flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more!

Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact that you are making, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics. Everyone at YipitData is empowered to learn, self-improve, and master their skills in an environment focused on ownership, respect, and trust.
