We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Director, Liquidity and Financing Sales Lead  to join our Global Markets team. This role is located in New York.

Role Overview: We are seeking a senior, results-driven sales professional to accelerate growth across BNY’s Liquidity and Margin solutions, with a particular focus on business development across various communities of clients, including Alternatives, Asset Owners, Insurance Companies, Corporates, Banks and Broker Dealers. You will own territory and portfolio strategies, originate and advance complex sales cycles, and deepen senior-level relationships across Treasury, Operations, Risk, and Front Office. The role spans new business development and expansion within existing accounts, partnering cross-functionally to deliver measurable outcomes.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Origination and Segment Growth
  • Build and execute segment strategies tailored to buy side, asset owners, and sell side accounts.
  • Develop senior relationships and influence decision-makers across CIO, Treasury, Risk, Operations, and Trading.
  • Maintain a disciplined, data-driven pipeline; ensure stage progression and forecast accuracy.
• Consultative Solutioning
  • Diagnose client needs in liquidity optimization, short-term investing, margin and triparty collateral services.
  • Tailor value propositions by segment (e.g., portfolio-level liquidity and cash segmentation for buy side; operational cash, short-term investment ladders, and mandate alignment for asset owners; margin optimization, collateral mobility, and triparty structures for sell side).
  • Lead solution design with product, risk, legal, and operations; manage RFPs/RFIs and due diligence.
• Deal Execution and Commercials
  • Negotiate pricing, terms, and contracts aligned to segment economics and risk/return objectives.
  • Close complex, multi-stakeholder deals and transition seamlessly to onboarding and client success.
• Account Growth and Partnerships
  • Create account plans with clear growth levers: cross-sell, upsell, adoption, and product penetration within each segment.
  • Partner with relationship management, product, marketing, and service teams to deliver consistent client experience.
• Market Intelligence and Advocacy
  • Track competitive dynamics, regulatory drivers, and market structure nuances across client base.
  • Provide structured feedback to product teams; contribute to thought leadership and client events.
• Discipline and Reporting
  • Maintain accurate CRM hygiene and sales reporting.
  • Meet and exceed activity, stage conversion, and revenue targets with strong forecast discipline.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• 10–12+ years of institutional sales experience in capital markets, financing, repo, UST central clearing, or collateral/margin solutions, with proven success selling to:
  • Buy side (asset managers, hedge funds, mutual funds)
  • Asset owners (pensions, sovereigns, endowments, foundations, insurance)
  • Sell side (broker-dealers, banks)
• Track record of originating, structuring, and closing complex, multi-party deals with senior stakeholders and C‑suite.
• Deep understanding of liquidity management, short-term investment products, margin requirements, collateral operations, financing markets, and market infrastructure.
• Strong commercial acumen (pricing, P&L drivers, risk/return), executive presence, and negotiation skills.
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities; adept at simplifying complexity and influencing outcomes.
• Comfortable operating in a matrix organization; collaborative, accountable, and data-driven.
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or relevant certifications a plus.

Core Competencies

• Client obsession and consultative selling
• Segment strategy (buy side, asset owners, sell side)
• Strategic account planning and territory management
• Deal qualification, stage discipline, and forecast accuracy
• Executive communication and stakeholder influence
• Cross-functional collaboration and program management
• Market insight and competitive positioning
