This leader will be responsible for the end-to-end client experience from contract signing through production launch and ongoing managed services. You will lead the Superior Client Experience initiative, ensuring that our most strategic "Premier" accounts receive a consistent, world-class service that induces expansion sales.

This is an executive-facing role requiring a deep understanding of electronic trading infrastructure and the ability to command the attention of C-level stakeholders, such as Heads of Equities Trading and Heads of Low Latency Trading Technology.

• Lead (Bi) Annual Business Reviews: Act as the primary lead for high-impact business reviews with Premier account executives, focusing on client priorities for the next year, trading infrastructure investment, and critical business milestones.

• Manage the Exegy Narrative: Establish and reinforce Exegy’s value proposition with business and technical executives, "managing the narrative up the chain" to ensure alignment with client corporate development. Drive continuous expansion and refinement of the KPIs that quantify the value Exegy delivers and the exceptional quality and performance of our products and services.

• Strategic Pipeline Creation: Choreograph business reviews to translate client priorities and investment plans into expansion sales opportunities.

• Metrics & KPIs: Drive the collection and normalized reporting of metrics that quantify the value delivered (e.g., build/maintenance costs, time-to-market, and service quality).

• Client Portal & QBRs: Oversee the delivery of value-based reporting via the Client Portal and ensure Quarterly Service Reviews (QSRs) effectively use metrics and KPIs to highlight service quality and defuse service negativity.

Our Ideal Candidate Has:

• 15+ years of experience in technology service delivery, project management, client success, or relationship management within the capital markets or fintech sectors.

• Proven History of Leadership: Experience leading multi-disciplinary, global teams and a track record of owning large-scale "Client Experience" or "Client Success" initiatives.
