• Structure, negotiate, and close complex deals, guiding corporate clients step-by-step through enterprise procurement, security compliance, and legal processes

• Orchestrate multi-threading strategies to navigate enterprise politics, establishing strong relationships with C-Suite executives and key stakeholders across various verticals

• Keep an accurate track record of personal sales activities in the CRM, including methodical mid- and long-term forecasting

• Provide relevant customer feedback to the product development team and collaborate with Customer Success, Marketing, and Inbound Sales to maximize revenue and customer satisfaction

• 4–7 years of demonstrable quota-carrying success in B2B sales

• Proven track record of managing lengthy or complex enterprise sales cycles

• Significant experience selling directly to C-level executives (CxOs) and multi-threading within large enterprise organizations

• Clear understanding of, and practical experience with, consultative sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC/MEDPIC, SPIN, Challenger)

• 4-year university degree (bachelor's)

• Exceptional business communication skills, enabling you to execute executive storytelling, challenge the status quo, and handle complex contracting negotiations

• High learning agility, analytical thinking, and commercial curiosity to quickly grasp the nuances of various corporate industries

• High AI fluency and advanced CRM tracking skills

• Native-level proficiency in English

• Fluency in an additional language

• Background in SaaS, financial technology, or information security sectors
