Job description

At PitchBook, a Morningstar company, we are always looking forward. We continue to innovate, evolve, and invest in ourselves to bring out the best in everyone. We’re deeply collaborative and thrive on the excitement, energy, and fun that reverberates throughout the company.

Our extensive learning programs and mentorship opportunities help us create a culture of curiosity that pushes us to always find new solutions and better ways of doing things. The combination of a rapidly evolving industry and our high ambitions means there’s going to be some ambiguity along the way, but we excel when we challenge ourselves. We’re willing to take risks, fail fast, and do it all over again in the pursuit of excellence.

If you have a good attitude and are willing to roll up your sleeves to get things done, PitchBook is the place for you.

About the Role:

Lumonic, a subsidiary of PitchBook, is a private credit management platform founded and designed to automate reporting and compliance for private credit lenders. Its proprietary platform streamlines borrower financial data collection and verification, enabling investors to monitor compliance, covenant adherence, and financial health across their lending portfolios in real-time.

PitchBook’s Account Executive (AE) supports our Lumonic subsidiary and closes new business within the alternative investment industry. This full-cycle sales role requires an entrepreneurial approach to prospecting and relationship-building with leads coming from a variety of different channels. This role requires individuals highly skilled at identifying opportunities, building trust with investors (our customers), and navigating complex sales cycles.

Success in this role requires financial acumen, particularly in private credit, private equity, and venture capital, as well as the ability to engage in sophisticated conversations with fund managers and investment professionals.

• Independently conduct product demonstrations and proof-of-concept (POC) engagements, showcasing Lumonic’s platform

• Develop deep technical product knowledge to effectively articulate Lumonic’s capabilities and address client-specific needs, including handling technical questions throughout the sales process

• Work cross-functionally with the implementation, customer, and product teams to ensure smooth client onboarding and ongoing platform adoption

• Collaborate closely with leaders and sales colleagues to refine messaging, identify strategic opportunities, and contribute to the company’s overall growth strategy

• Own the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach and discovery to contract negotiation and closing, ensuring a seamless handoff to the implementation team

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven ability to independently prospect, build relationships, and drive deals without a steady flow of inbound leads

• Ability to engage in financial discussions with investors

• Experience leading product demonstrations and proof-of-concept (POC) engagements with strong technical aptitude

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills with a consultative approach to selling

• Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
