Multi-thread effectively and build consensus across stakeholders with different priorities. Navigate RFPs, security, procurement, legal, and other enterprise buying requirements while maintaining deal momentum. Partner effectively across Marketing, Product, Customer Success, Solutions, and leadership to win complex enterprise business. Drive Sales Execution & Forecasting: Maintain rigorous opportunity and CRM hygiene, ensuring deal stages, next steps, close dates, and key account information are consistently accurate and current. Actively progress opportunities through defined sales stages with clear exit criteria and a path toward close. Maintain strong pipeline discipline and identify coverage gaps early. Provide accurate, accountable forecasts grounded in deal-level evidence, customer commitments, and clearly understood risks. Surface deal risks and blockers early, bringing in the right internal resources to help resolve them.
