- monitoring / “owning” your coverage universe to support live data updates during corporate earnings season
- interacting with our clients, the world’s leading investment firms, to answer questions about data and product functionality; supporting sales and account management teams
- discussing product priorities and strategic objectives with a management team that has many decades of buy-side and sell-side experience working in institutional credit markets
