  • Proven experience using CRM and workflow tools such as Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Apollo, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
  • Strong interest in fintech, capital markets, or financial services, with a desire to learn and grow in this industry.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a structured environment.
  • Self-motivation, resilience, and a results-driven mindset with attention to detail.
  • Ability to quickly build rapport and understand prospect needs.
  • A bachelor’s degree is preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
