  • Consistent track record of surpassing sales targets, contributing to a high-performing team with a strong winning culture. Recognized for delivering results and setting the standard in work ethic, initiative, enthusiasm, and dedication.
  • Skilled in cold calling and prospecting within a defined territory to build and manage a strong sales pipeline—identifying high-potential opportunities, gaining access to key stakeholders across organizations, and building influence and advocacy to drive complex enterprise sales.
  • Partner with the global sales team to build and execute a strategic client growth plan for your designated book of accounts.  You own the sales plan for the new logos underneath the parent account in partnership with the Strategic Account Director and the Account Executives in the other global regions, driving deals forward and delivering revenue against target.

  • This is a new client acquisition sales role, requiring you to research opportunities, initiate discussions, build prospect relationships, conduct demos, manage product trials, and close sales.
  • Develop strong internal relationships, garnering buy in from those you partner with and marshaling resources to deliver on revenue outcomes.  
  • Partner with our SDR team to create prospecting plans and drive pipeline and work closely with our Product Specialist team during trials to ensure client engagement.  
  • Work closely with Account Management to ensure customer health throughout the contract term, as well as closing sourced upsell and cross-sell opportunities.
  • Gather and pass on information on market and client product needs to sales, product management, content, and product marketing to help us continually enhance our products.
  • Forecast accurately and develop the necessary pipeline to meet/exceed quota.

For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all US-based roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables.
