What you'll do

  • Lead the organization's highest-priority initiatives end to end, for example pricing, our investor program, entry into new markets and maturing the data strategy
  • Frame the problem, build the analysis, align stakeholders and drive the work through to a decision and implementation
  • Bring a recommendation, not just options
  • Run the team's operating cadence: weekly deal desk, fortnightly product council and monthly business review
  • Own the decision log, so it's always clear what was decided, by whom and what happens next
  • Spot blockers between sales, product and data teams early and clear them
  • Own pricing and support deal structuring with the sales team
  • Keep pipeline and ARR reporting accurate and trusted, with one view across GRESB
  • Work with sales and product to make sure the team has what it needs to showcase the value of the data products
  • Build and run the monthly CEO dashboard and KPI reporting
  • Prepare senior leadership, board and client materials that are clear, concise and decision-ready
  • Act as the Chief Client & Data Intelligence Officer's point of contact when they're away

What we're looking for

  • Around 6–10 years of experience
  • A grounding in top-tier management consulting or Big Four advisory, in strategy, sustainability, data or technology
  • Strong business acumen and ability to work well in a cross-functional, global environment
  • Experience implementing AI or advanced analytics solutions within a commercial or sales environment
  • Proficiency in CRM, data analytics, and visualization tools
  • A working understanding of how data products are packaged, priced and sold
  • You think in structure: you can break down an ambiguous problem, find what matters and build a clear path forward
  • You finish things. You run several projects at once and see each one through to the end
  • You're organized, detail-oriented and work well in systems
  • You write and present clearly, whether it's a one-page update or a board deck
  • You get things done without formal authority, by earning trust across sales, product and engineering
  • You're comfortable moving between the big picture and the detail in the same day

Nice to have

  • Ideally, spent time at a sustainability data, ESG ratings, real asset or financial data business
