• Scale Impact: Leverage a modern tech stack—including Salesforce, Outreach, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gemini, and TitanX—to scale your outreach efforts, automate manual workflows, and maximize impact in your territory.
• Driving Innovation: Incorporate AI and automation into your daily work to continuously reduce the manual effort required to exceed sales targets.
• Data Integrity: Ensuring high-integrity CRM data hygiene by maintaining accurate and relevant account and contact-level insights according to guidance from Sales Leadership.

• Entrepreneurial Drive: You enjoy the challenge of expanding new territories and executing a successful land-and-expand strategy.
• Business Acumen/Executive Presence: Proven ability to leverage client voice and persona-based language to build credibility with C-Suite and senior leadership. Experience selling into the office of the CFO (CFOs, CAOs, Controllers, VPs of Accounting) is preferred.
• Strategic Prospecting: Proficiency in using business signals to prioritize efforts and tailor value propositions to specific pain points.
• Consultative Success: Success in managing complex, consultative sales cycles and a proven history of consistently overachieving against quota.
