Key responsibilities include prospecting and qualifying strategic opportunities within target verticals and named account lists, architecting tailored solutions in partnership with solutions engineering and product teams, leading complex negotiations involving multi-year contracts and custom pricing, and maintaining rigorous pipeline hygiene with transparent forecasting. You'll become a trusted product expert, educating prospects on the AI agent platform and going hands-on during critical evaluation phases to accelerate deployment. You'll report to the regional vice president and work cross-functionally with solutions engineering, product, and customer success teams to ensure seamless deployments that deliver measurable business outcomes. Required qualifications: 7-10+ years of quota-carrying strategic SaaS sales experience with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding annual quotas in complex, value-based sales motions. Demonstrated expertise managing sophisticated enterprise sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and navigating procurement processes. Executive presence and communication skills to credibly engage with C-suite buyers, translate technical concepts into business value, and build authentic relationships. Strong consultative selling skills with ability to conduct discovery that uncovers business challenges and creates urgency around transformation. Experience in outbound prospecting, account mapping, and territory planning with a hunter mentality. Comfort with ambiguity and bias for ownership in fast-paced environments. Deep alignment with company values around cross-functional collaboration, challenging the status quo, and accountability.
