About this role
At NiCE, we don’t limit our challenges. We challenge our limits. Always. We’re ambitious. We’re game changers. And we play to win. We set the highest standards and execute beyond them. And if you’re like us, we can offer you the ultimate career opportunity that will light a fire within you.
So, what’s the role all about?
Demand from the world’s leading financial institutions for Financial Crime and Compliance services is accelerating.
Actimize Professional Services is seeking a highly visible, commercially driven and proactive Principal, Strategic Services Sales to originate, shape and close large, strategic services engagements across EMEA.
Reporting to the Strategic Services Sales Leader, you will operate as a senior individual contributor within our established banking, financial services and insurance client base. This role sits within the team responsible for selling unattached services after the software license sale and does not cover services attached to a new license transaction.
While the role is focused on existing-account expansion, success depends on bringing a strong hunter mindset: proactively identifying whitespace and independently generating new business through cross-sell and upsell opportunities within Actimize customers.
Combining deep Financial Crime and Compliance knowledge, consulting credibility and strong commercial judgement, you will understand client pain points, architect differentiated solutions, mobilise the right Actimize stakeholders and convert complex opportunities into long-term client partnerships.
