The Role

The Post Trade Processing Market specialist is a presales consultant who connects client needs with Nasdaq’s solutions.

In close partnership with Sales, Product Management, Product Strategy, and implementation teams, the role brings market feedback into product planning, supports the development of new offerings and business cases, and ensures an effective handover when a sale is completed. The specialist may also support implementation scoping and identify opportunities for additional solutions or services where appropriate.

The role is based in Dubai, and covers clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

• Partner with Product Management and Product Strategy to share market insights, identify product gaps, and influence the roadmap.
• Support go-to-market initiatives that strengthen product positioning and market awareness.
• Provide implementation teams with a thorough handover of client requirements, decisions, and knowledge gathered during the sales process.
• Support implementation scoping and identify appropriate opportunities for additional products or services.
