Company mission
AlphaSense's mission is to organize the world’s business information and leverage technology to enable companies to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- A client-facing professional with a superior ability to develop rapport with new people, and to maintain relationships, combined with a positive and proactive personality
- A skilled communicator who can engage at any level of an organization
- An energetic and creative individual, possessing natural curiosity with the ability to learn quickly and adapt
- Eager to learn - Due to our diverse base of clients, much of the technical knowledge required to succeed will be learned on the job!
- Able to distill and explain complex issues in simple terms
- Intrinsically motivated with the ability to contribute to a dynamic and entrepreneurial team culture
- Strong time management and task prioritization skills
What the job involves
- Reports To: Director of Customer Success
- The Product Specialist role at AlphaSense lives at the intersection of sales, customer success, and technical support
- Product Specialists are tasked with building relationships with prospective clients by providing support and deep technical knowledge to demonstrate the value of AlphaSense while helping to drive adoption
- Due to the extensive exposure that Product Specialists have with clients, they’re also in a prime location to partner with our sales and product teams in determining future product developments that will resonate with the market
- Customer Support: Product Specialists field support calls, emails, and chats, locally resolving as much as possible. They will port tickets out to appropriate teams when needed and will retain their position as the customer’s point person through resolution
- Customer Health: The team works hand in hand with account management, speaking with and visiting users to provide training, customizations, and product consultations
- Growth Initiatives: Assist sales in product pitches and demos. The team also runs trial training calls, making the ability to overcome common objectives and communicate our value proposition essential to success
- Content generation: Product Specialists identify content that our customers are likely to care about, and package it for distribution by sales and account management
- This content should come in the form of timely searches/trends in the market that can be used for demos or email distribution
- Product Direction: Because of our Product Specialists’ deep understanding of both our product and customers, they are in a position to field feedback and identify product opportunities, and relay that information across the organization (account management, account executives, product, management)
Our take
Manual research can be a serious pain : financial analysts spend hours every week searching through PDFs one keyword at a time, just to find a single usable insight. To remedy this, AlphaSense has built a smart search engine that slashes research time for analysts, using thousands of sources and a semantic indexing layer that can effectively query finance-specific language.
As a disruptor and market leader in this field AlphaSense has few direct competitors, being most closely compared to Wolfram Alpha or LexisNexis. It helps that its tools are undoubtedly effective and valued by knowledge professionals: the company counts about 85% of the S&P 100 as customers and is trusted by J.P.Morgan, Microsoft, Credit Suisse and Google, among other major enterprises.
Having raised a large amount of funding over 2022 and 2023, AlphaSense has moved quickly to double down on its expansion in European markets, opening an office in Berlin to support this. With 2024 seeing investment from Singaporean EDBI, it is now setting its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. As business intelligence will remain key for enterprises as they compete for market share, AlphaSense is well-placed for additional future growth.
