You're analytical and data-driven, comfortable with complex systems and testing/iterating approaches. You know how to help buyers navigate large SaaS investments, mobilize distributed organizations, and accelerate sales cycles by identifying and influencing key stakeholders. You thrive in fast-growth environments where change is constant and you're comfortable learning new technologies, processes, and people dynamics. Bonus experience includes selling to Growth/Marketing or retail/e-commerce teams, or background in analytics, CRM, marketing automation, data storage, or content marketing solutions. Compensation: Base salary $71,000–$111,000/year; On Target Earnings (OTE) $152,000–$221,000/year including bonus/commission. Equity grants (RSUs) included.
