The Role
We’re hiring an Account Executive to drive new client acquisition across hedge funds.
This is a pure hunting role. You will originate pipeline, run deals end-to-end, and close new business for Hatched’s alternative data products. You’ll work directly with the founders and have real ownership over how we build the US business.
This role suits someone already selling alternative data, or adjacent products, who wants more control, more upside, and a broader remit.
What We Need You To Do
Build and own pipeline across hedge funds and asset managers
Run the full sales cycle from first outreach to close
Lead discovery with PMs, analysts, and data teams
Position data in terms of investment impact and alpha use cases
Manage evaluations and client engagement during trials
Close new business and expand initial relationships
Feed back into product and research based on client demand
What You Bring to Hatched
Experience selling alternative data or similar products to the buy side
Evidence of closing deals and hitting quota
Strong outbound ability; comfortable building pipeline from scratch
Credibility with hedge funds; understands research workflows
Able to run a deal independently with multiple stakeholders
Clear communicator; can explain data, methodology, and use cases
High ownership mindset; comfortable working directly with founders
Useful Backgrounds
Alternative data vendors selling to hedge funds
Financial data, analytics, or research platforms with buy-side clients
We’re open to strong Account Executives or BDRs ready to step up, provided there is clear evidence of deal ownership and commercial drive.
What You Get
Direct exposure to founders and strategy
Full ownership of pipeline and clients
Strong earning potential tied to performance
Opportunity to shape how we sell in the US
Small team, high ownership environment
Location
East Coast US, with a preference for New York
