• Partner closely with Solutions Engineering to scope, manage, and successfully complete technical evaluations and proofs of value.

• Navigate complex security, legal, procurement, and commercial processes.

• Maintain accurate opportunity, pipeline, MEDDPICC, and forecast information.

• Consistently achieve or exceed quarterly bookings targets.

• Collaborate with Product, Marketing, Engineering, Customer Success, and other internal teams to share market feedback, competitive intelligence, customer requirements, and product opportunities.

What You’ll Need:

• 3-5+ years of B2B sales experience within SaaS, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, or data technology, including at least 1-2+ years selling into enterprise accounts.

• A demonstrated history of meeting or exceeding quota in a new-business sales role.

• Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles.

• Experience using structured enterprise sales methodologies such as Command of the Message, MEDDPICC, and value-based selling.

• A proven ability to uncover and quantify business pain, build compelling value propositions, establish urgency, and navigate enterprise decision-making processes.

• Confidence engaging both technical practitioners and executive buyers.

• The ability to translate complex technical capabilities into clear business value.

• Strong prospecting, discovery, presentation, negotiation, and communication skills.

• Excellent organization, pipeline management, and forecasting discipline.

• Direct experience with data infrastructure, cloud platforms, data integration, or the modern data stack is strongly preferred.
