Leaders in Positioning, Flow, and Tactical Macro Expertise

Vanda is an independent research firm providing tactical macro strategy insights and real-time positioning and flow data. Our proprietary data and research platforms equip investors with the edge they need to make smarter trades and drive superior returns.

We help institutional investors navigate markets through differentiated positioning intelligence, flow analysis, and tactical macro research. With offices in London, New York, and Singapore, we deliver around-the-clock market intelligence to clients globally.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Sales Associate to join our commercial team and play a key role in supporting client growth, onboarding, engagement, and pipeline development.

The Role

As a Sales Associate, you will work closely with the Senior Vice President, who owns the commercial relationship, to support both existing clients and new business development efforts.

This is a highly collaborative, client-facing role combining sales support, customer success, pipeline management, and client engagement. You will help generate new opportunities while ensuring clients receive a seamless onboarding experience and continue to derive maximum value from Vanda's products.

You will manage both an existing client base and a growing pipeline, helping to drive adoption, engagement, and long-term client success. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career within institutional sales, client management, financial data, or investment research.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage operational sales activities including CRM updates, onboarding new trials, sales materials, and pipeline management.
• Work across multiple platforms to support lead generation and prospect identification.
• Monitor client engagement and usage data to identify opportunities to improve product adoption and proactively address potential issues.
• Maintain accurate records within the CRM, tracking client interactions, activity, feedback, and outcomes.
• Join client and prospect calls alongside sales leadership and ensure all follow-up actions are completed efficiently.
• Generate tailored introduction emails and outreach communications for prospective clients based on their specific investment focus and requirements.
• Support the ongoing management of existing client relationships while helping to build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline.
• Work collaboratively across commercial, research, and client-facing teams to deliver a high-quality client experience.

Who We're Looking For

• 1+ years' experience in client success, account management, sales support, or a similar customer-facing role.
• Experience within a data, SaaS, financial services, or research environment is advantageous.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to engage professionally with institutional investors and sophisticated market participants.
• Strong organisational skills with a highly process-driven approach and exceptional attention to detail.
• Experience using CRM systems to manage client interactions and sales activity, with HubSpot experience preferred.
• A proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
• An understanding of financial markets is desirable, with knowledge of positioning, flows, or macro strategy considered a plus.
• Highly organised with the ability to effectively manage multiple accounts, stakeholders, and priorities.
