About Ridgeline
Ridgeline is the first front-to-back system of record for investment managers. Founded by visionary entrepreneur Dave Duffield (co-founder of both PeopleSoft and Workday), the company was created to modernize an industry held back by outdated, disconnected technology. Powered by a single, real-time data set and embedded AI, Ridgeline helps firms automate complexity, accelerate collaboration, and deliver tailored client experiences at scale, without added headcount or risk. Ridgeline is headquartered in Lake Tahoe, with offices in New York, Reno, the Bay Area, and Dublin, Ireland, and is recognized by Fast Company as a "Best Workplace for Innovators," by Frost & Sullivan as a "Technology Innovation Leader," and by The Software Report as a "Top 100 Software Company."
Why this role exists
As a Solutions Consultant at Ridgeline, you will play a critical role in driving sales success by providing functional and technical expertise during the sales cycle. This role offers the chance to engage with leaders across the asset management industry, showcase Ridgeline’s unified cloud-native platform, and directly influence the adoption of modern investment management solutions. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional client experiences, from RFP to deployment.
At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture.
This posting is for an existing vacancy. You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.

- Provide critical feedback to product management teams to drive continuous product enhancements and innovation.
- Develop a deep understanding of client needs, offering tailored solutions that emphasize Ridgeline’s single-platform capabilities across functionalities such as Order Management, Accounting, and Reporting.
- Travel regularly (20–40%) to engage with prospects, build relationships, and support sales efforts.
- Foster a collaborative, transparent environment rooted in learning, teaching, and mutual success.
What we look for
- 8+ years of experience in financial services, fintech deployment, sales engineering, solutions architecture, or similar roles.
- 5+ years of client-facing experience with technology-based enterprise solutions in Asset or Wealth Management.
- Deep understanding of investment management, including systems such as OMS, PMS, and Accounting platforms.
- Strong knowledge of financial markets, portfolio management, trading, performance and risk, compliance, and trade settlement processes.
- Familiarity with consultative selling methodologies and a proven ability to work collaboratively in achieving results.
- Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and lead product demonstrations for diverse audiences.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Finance, or a related field.
- Self-starter with a friendly demeanor, professionalism, and the ability to forge strong relationships with senior market practitioners.
- Experience presenting cloud-based solutions and driving value-based sales approaches.
- Willingness to learn about cutting-edge technologies while cultivating expertise in a business domain/problem space.
