You will:

• Own Scale's execution for driving impact through customer acquisition and growth. In this highly visible hunter role, you will own, manage, and drive the full sales process from pipeline generation, closing new business, and managing renewals and upsells.

• Capitalize on your experience of closing complex enterprises, and are able to collaborate with support teams in order to develop creative, value based solutions for customers.

• Forecast opportunities accurately and drive accountability cross functionally.

• Develop and maintain a strong sales process. You need to show that you are organized and timely in terms of entering details into Salesforce; that you can develop and alter your opportunity hypothesis and sales plan, and are effective in communicating across the organization to enable the resources around you to be successful within the sales cycle.

• Multi-Thread Externally and Internally: Working cross functionally with Executive Leadership, Product, Marketing, Legal, Finance, Operations, and Compliance to ensure customer success. Demonstrated ability to develop strong consultative relationships with external partners and internal cross-functional teams at all levels.

• Comfortable in ambiguous environments: You are going to be working on selling products in early development, and need to show creativity in applying value with new go to market offerings.

• Technology sales : Expertise in technology sales, distribution, and adoption of complex business models. Scale isn't a "revenue per seat" sales model.
