Company Description

Esprow is a highly innovative and fast-growing company with some of the world’s highest profile companies as our clients. Working with us, you will be exposed to innovative and cutting-edge technologies and be heavily involved throughout the application development. Our Esprow Enterprise Testing Platform (ETP) is unique in the market of automated certification, testing, and simulation of financial trading solutions. With presence in New York, Singapore, Tokyo, and India, we deliver our technology to clients across the globe.

Position Summary

Esprow is looking for a technically savvy Technical Pre-Sales Consultant to work alongside our sales team to support the sales of Esprow’s software applications. In this role you will provide Esprow’s sales team with specific in-depth technical knowledge of Esprow’s applications for automated testing and certification of FIX connectivity, during their interaction with existing and prospective clients. This will include providing product demonstrations (demos) tailored to the specific needs of each client, engaging with clients to understand their specific requirements, offering guidance on how to replace their legacy solutions with Esprow’s solutions, and supporting clients during enterprise product evaluations and initial phases of their go-live.

To fulfil this role’s responsibilities, you must be technically very savvy, in particular with the FIX protocol and other financial protocol (like ITCH, OUCH, and so on), have experience with how financial protocols are used in a real-world trading environment, be sociable and personable, have a genuine desire to help clients succeed by solving their technical challenges, and be ready to come up with your own solutions to solve the challenges that present themselves during lengthy enterprise sales discussions and negotiations.

You will also have the opportunity to work alongside our marketing team to enrich their marketing efforts by delivering product webinars, participating in industry events and conferences, and supporting their (technical) marketing communication efforts through various media channels (articles, blogs, round-tables, etc.).

Furthermore, this person should be a conduit between clients and product managers, to feed clients’ feedback into our solutions and support the design of our solutions’ business flows.

Since Esprow’s clients are based worldwide, with a significant part based on the US East Coast, this position requires a degree of flexibility to adjust to clients’ time zones when the need arises to deliver product demonstration.

• Ability to understand complex trading architectures that may involve multiple systems and multiple protocols, like those used in large financial organizations.
• Excellent business English, both spoken and written. Esprow works with high-profile clients and we are known for our accuracy, thoroughness, and attention to details.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to clearly explain complicated procedures in a simple and understandable manner, provide clear and concise information to clients during product demonstrations, webinars, when engaging with them at conferences, when carrying out analysis of their business needs, or when communicating with internal stakeholders.
