  • Develop and present compelling value propositions tailored to customer needs and business outcomes.
  • Partner with Solutions Engineers and Services teams to design effective solutions and ensure a seamless transition post-sale.

Requirements

  • Experience applying structured sales methodologies (MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN, etc.).
  • Track record of meeting or exceeding quota in fast-paced, competitive markets.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills — written, verbal, and visual — with an ability to influence at all levels.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills; able to balance multiple priorities across complex deals.
