Come join us! About the Team The Customer Success team is composed of three teams: the pre-sales team, the post-sales team, and the support team. The Senior Manager role leads the US Financial Services Pre-Sales organization - a critical driver of regional growth. Pre-Sales Consultants act as trusted partners to our Account Executives, working closely with prospective clients to demonstrate the value of our platform and help win new business. They are problem-solvers, storytellers, and product experts who thrive on helping customers make better and faster decisions. Pre-Sales Consultants combine deep product knowledge, commercial acumen, industry experience, and strong client intuition to run high-impact evaluations. They work across Corporate and Financial Services verticals, engaging with decision-makers and users to uncover use cases, run tailored demos, and guide prospects to successful outcomes. Their extensive client exposure also positions them as key partners to our Product Management and Content teams, helping determine future product developments and playing a central role in product Betas and customer feedback loops. About the Role The Senior Manager, Pre-Sales (US FS Team) shapes regional and segment strategy, scales pre-sales operations, and leads a team comprising both Team Leads and Individual Contributors. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for the operational rhythm, performance outcomes, and long-term scalability of the US Financial Services Pre-Sales function.
