• Research opportunities, prospect, initiate discussions, build relationships, conduct demos, manage product trials, and most importantly: close deals! This is an end-to-end new business sales role and no task is too small or too large.
• Work closely with Account Management to ensure customer health throughout the contract term, as well as closing down sourced upsell and cross-sell opportunities. Partner with our SDR team to create prospecting plans and drive pipeline. 
• Forecast accurately and develop the necessary pipeline to meet/exceed quota.
