Why Murex needs Services Presales 

Murex’s Presales team plays a transversal role in the organization and acts as a central enabler of the sales process. The EMEA Presales team currently contains functional, technical and services experts. Murex has an ambitious sales roadmap and there is a continuous flow of new opportunities for both our market-proven and new business solutions. Regardless of the solutions we sell, there is always a strong requirement to convince the prospect of our ability to implement, support, run and evolve their MX.3 instance. Further, we need to provide each prospect with compelling arguments for them to use our managed services including SaaS and MXevolve offerings.

  • Provide feedback to Murex’ Service Offer (SO) and Instance Lifecycle (ILC) teams on status of opportunities including gaps, risks, areas of concern for the client etc. When the Presales work is complete, perform handover of the opportunity to the project team.
  • Industrialize the activity to bring massive productivity gains to anyone doing presales worldwide. As such, regularly synchronize with other regional service presales to exchange insights and share learnings. Continuously improve presales quality at each step of the value chain (RFP, slides, pitch, brochures, use cases, handover, presentation soft skills, capacity to answer tricky questions...). Understand the global opportunities’ status and share knowledge and insights with your colleagues.
  • Perform internal training (other domain members and new colleagues)
  • Work with the Murex Go-to-Market (GTM) & Marketing teams to promote (internally and externally) new services, or extensions of existing solutions. Act as the Presales expert within the broader GTM team. Promote our offer to the market e.g. for industry awards and research organizations.
