• Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of opportunities, effectively moving prospects through the sales cycle.
• Engage with senior IT executives to present our SaaS solutions, clearly articulating the value proposition and competitive differentiators.
• Lead complex sales cycles, balancing smaller, fast-moving opportunities with longer, high-value deals.
• Effectively negotiate pricing, terms, and contracts, ensuring favorable outcomes for both clients and the business.
• Utilize CRM tools to track pipeline development, sales forecasts, and account activity.
• Provide regular reporting and insights on market trends, customer needs, and sales performance.
• Collaborate with product teams to refine go-to-market strategies and enhance customer engagement.
• Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to expand brand presence and drive new business.

• Demonstrated ability to consistently exceed sales quotas and drive revenue growth. 
• Strong expertise in outbound lead generation, pipeline development, and consultative selling. 
• Experience managing and closing complex, high-value deals ($100K+ ARR per contract). 
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills. 
• Highly self-motivated, results-oriented, and adept at working both independently and collaboratively.
