About this Role

You will help us win Enterprise Accounts (1,000+ employees) by managing the full sales cycle from pipeline generation through to closed-won. In this role, you'll primarily focus on new logo acquisition, while also covering a smaller number of existing business accounts for expansion and upsell. Our emphasis is on your ability to excel in the areas listed below and your appetite for continuous growth & improvement.

You could be a great fit if:

  • Pipeline Generation: You are proactive in identifying and pursuing new business opportunities, who is comfortable sourcing >50% of your own pipeline. You're both resourceful and innovative in finding new business opportunities.
  • Enterprise SaaS Sales Track Record: You have strong track record in Enterprise SaaS sales, having closed many $100k sales, and overachieved $1M+ quotas consistently. You have won competitive rip-and-replace opportunities of core/platform technologies.
  • Discovery Skills: You are highly skilled at discovery. You believe in preparation to establish a point of view, and through discovery validate or refine your perspective to identify a project's business drivers aligned to executive priorities.
  • Business Acumen: You have strong business acumen. You quickly connect the dots between technical problems and their downstream business impacts. You craft compelling business cases with this context.
  • Product Fluency: You can confidently deliver micro-demos before engaging your SE partners. You can't imagine not being fluent in the product you sell.
  • Communication Skills: You have a proven ability to excel at clear communication. You ask questions with precision and can explain complex concepts in simple terms.
  • Sales Process Management: You skillfully guide prospects through the evaluation—engaging the right stakeholders at the right time to create consensus for a strategic technology decision.
  • Expertise & Tailoring: You enjoy becoming an expert and tailoring discussions to address each prospect’s unique challenges.
  • Detail-Oriented & Operations: Your peers describe you as detail oriented. You write and send crisp follow-up emails, on time. You also take pride in internal operations, like real-time CRM updates. (We use HubSpot, Gong, Chili Piper and Apollo.)

Bonus Points

  • You are fluent in German, French, or Spanish
  • You have experience selling to Talent or People leaders

You shouldn't apply if:

  • You expect Marketing or BDRs to source all of your pipeline for you. This is a hunting role.
  • You prefer to run established playbooks in well defined environments. This role requires creativity and a growth mindset.
  • You believe that "tech stuff" is the SE's job. Our AEs all develop product acumen while SEs are a partner in our team selling motion.

Our Philosophy

Here are a few key points that should give you an idea of what it is like to work with us:

  • We invest in building best-in-class products since we believe a highly differentiated product is easier to sell.
  • We strongly believe that small teams with talented and hard working people (and the right environment) deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount. We hire and compensate accordingly.
  • We care deeply about our customers and their challenges big and small. The clarity and nuance with which we understand their pains allows us to build high impact solutions.

Interview Process
