Sales Executive

Overview

Job Purpose

This is an individual-contributor, quota-carrying sales role within ICE’s Americas Fixed Income Analytics & Derivatives business. You will be responsible for originating, developing, and closing opportunities across ICE’s Fixed Income Analytics (IDA) and Derivatives (IDD) businesses. These solutions support some of the world’s largest financial institutions through data, analytics, valuations, risk, and workflow capabilities used across trading, investing, risk management, operations, and product development.

You will work with investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, insurers, corporates, and market infrastructure providers to understand their business objectives, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver solutions that help them make better decisions, manage risk, improve efficiency, and support business growth.

This is a consultative, solution-oriented sales role. Success requires more than relationship management alone. The successful candidate will demonstrate a genuine interest in financial markets, the ability to understand complex client workflows, and the commercial judgment to connect ICE’s capabilities to meaningful business outcomes.

You will frequently engage with senior stakeholders across trading, portfolio management, risk, operations, technology, procurement, and executive leadership functions while coordinating internal teams across product, engineering, legal, operations, and commercial organizations.

  • Coordinate and influence cross-functional teams across product, engineering, operations, legal, and commercial functions to advance strategic opportunities.

What Success Looks Like in 12 Months

• Built and qualified a sustainable pipeline across both IDD and IDA.

• Can speak to ICE’s IDD/IDA capabilities fluently enough that clients treat you as the technical contact, not just the relationship one.
