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.

  • Own the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach and discovery to contract negotiation and closing, ensuring a seamless handoff to the implementation team
  • Adapt and iterate on sales strategies, leveraging data-driven insights and experimenting with new approaches to optimize conversion rates
  • Support the vision and values of the company through role modeling and encouraging desired behaviors 
  • Participate in various company initiatives and projects as requested 

Basic Qualifications:

  • Ability to engage in financial discussions with investors

Working Conditions:

At the heart of our company is a belief in the power of in-person collaboration. Being together in the office fuels our creativity, strengthens our connections, and drives the innovation that sets us apart. Our culture is built on spontaneous moments—those hallway conversations, whiteboard brainstorms, and shared celebrations in each of our global offices—that simply can’t be replicated remotely. This role is expected to be in the office 5 days a week.

The job conditions for this position are in a standard office setting. Employees in this position use PC and phone on an on-going basis throughout the day. Limited corporate travel may be required to remote offices or other business meetings and events.

We are excited to get to know you and your background. Concerned that you might not meet every requirement? We encourage you to still apply as you might be the right candidate for the role or other roles at PitchBook.
