Job Details

Sonar solves the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code.

Clean Code produces software that is maintainable, reliable, and secure, allowing development teams to spend less time fixing issues and more time innovating. With Sonar, and by employing the company’s Clean as You Code methodology, organizations minimize risk, reduce technical debt, increase productivity, and derive more value from their software in a predictable and sustainable way.

Sonar’s open-source and commercial products – SonarLint, SonarCloud, and SonarQube – support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Trusted by more than 500,000 organizations and used by more than 7 million developers globally to clean more than half a trillion lines of code, Sonar is integral to delivering better software.

This is an excellent opportunity to experience personal and professional growth as we scale the business. Are you ready to join?

The impact you will have  

Utilize your proven sales skills to prospect into your territory, identify customers’ buying circle and economic buyers, highlight product value, drive adoption, and significantly expand our customer base. Engage with developers, decision-makers, and procurement in diverse industries and company sizes.

On a daily basis, you will

    • Generate new leads and opportunities within an assigned territory, leading to closing business enabling you to exceed your revenue targets quarterly and yearly. 
    • Manage prospecting sales efforts to target key accounts and work with the channel partners to generate a pipeline in your territory.
    • Use multi-channel strategy to engage with your prospects (Linked-In, email, videos, cold calls, meetings, etc.) and execute them to convert identified prospects into new logos.    
    • Take ownership of your book of business: document the buying criteria, the buying process, the next steps and owners, and ensure pipeline accuracy based on evidence.
    • Size and quote customer software license needs.
    • Interact with prospects over phone, email, video conference, and on-site meetings when necessary.
    • Support marketing efforts with account-based customer-focused marketing campaigns.
    • Proactively engage in building, growing, and sharing sales team best practices.
    • Accurately capture and report all aspects of account and opportunity information within the SFDC platform.
    • Utilize Salesforce.com to set daily activity and accurately forecast opportunity pipeline.

The hard skills you will demonstrate

    • Proven successful 7+ years of experience in a B2B sales role, ideally in a SaaS or subscription model.
    • Focus on building and managing customer relationships.
    • Experience selling a technical product to a technical buyer.
    • Proven expertise in territory planning and prospecting, using various channels and tools for prospecting, such as Zoominfo, SalesLoft, LinkedIn, calling, and networking.
    • Expertise in navigating and growing a pipeline in prospect accounts and taking a deal from Lead Qualification to Closed Won.
    • Familiarity in supporting and selling to large enterprise customers and managing and negotiating  (> 50k USD) enterprise deals.
    • Ability to drive the sales process effectively through phone calls, emails, and virtual and on-site meetings.
    • Proficiency in communicating with executive-level contacts and delivering value messages based on the persona you are engaging with (bottom/up and top/down approach)
    • Salesforce.com expertise; you know it and can’t imagine sales without it.
    • Customer-Centric focus; We Want Happy Customers.
    • Written and spoken English at a professional level. 
Why you will love it here

• We value a safe work culture - founded in respect, kindness, and the right to fail.
• We hire great people - we value communication skills as much as technical prowess and we strive to create a work environment that allows for everyone to succeed and feel empowered to do their best work. Our 500+ SonarSourcers from 35 different nationalities can relate!
• Work-life balance - a healthy work-life balance is very important at Sonar.
