About the role

- Earn trusted-advisor status with C-level leaders (CDO, CIO, CTO)
- Orchestrate cross-functional pursuit teams — Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and executive sponsors
- Lead complex, high-value negotiations and procurement processes
- Land and expand within marquee accounts, growing our footprint over time
What you'll bring
- 7+ years closing large, complex enterprise deals, including six- and seven-figure contracts
- A track record landing and growing Fortune 500 or otherwise marquee accounts
- Mastery of strategic account planning and multi-threaded, executive-level selling
- The patience and rigor for long cycles, and the presence to lead them
- Command of MEDDPICC (or a comparable framework) to qualify and drive complex, multi-stakeholder deals
Bonus points for
