This role will primarily work in the financial services industry across FICO's Fraud product portfolio, focusing on transactional fraud prevention solutions.

This role exhibits a fundamental understanding of fraud in the financial services industry, effectively promoting the features and functionality of FICO's solutions based on the client's current needs, yet thinking creatively about the client's future requirements and how to integrate those requirements into the client's broader ecosystem.

This position functions as a sales team member and actively participates in the sales process from initial contact to deal closure. Significant client interaction is required with multiple levels of the client's organization, with a considerable amount of that interaction being face-to-face and requiring domestic travel.

Job Responsibilities

• Conduct discovery sessions with clients to understand their current fraud challenges and growth strategies.
• Work with multiple FICO product teams to design solutions and services to meet client's business needs.
• Provide thought leadership to customers throughout the sales cycle to ensure their needs are properly understood and addressed.
• Create and deliver detailed and customized product demonstrations, helping to craft sales strategies and tactics.
• Respond to RFIs/RFPs, prepare sales proposals, and create and manage proof of concepts.

• Deliver presentations at FICO and client-conferences.
• Support industry analyst reviews of FICO fraud products.
