Job Description

• Own the end-to-end deal cycle for net-new large enterprise partnerships. • Prospect and close deals with Life Insurance Carriers (to bundle IDW with policies), Wealth/Retirement Platforms (to protect client assets), and Consumer Finance/Mortgage leaders (to differentiate their offerings). • Execute a systematic outbound strategy targeting organizations with >$1B in assets or >1M users that generate high 6-figure and 7-figure Annual Contract Value (ACV). • Responsible for modeling the unit economics to ensure profitability for both Equifax and the partner. • Navigate long, complex sales cycles (6-12 months) by multi-threading across the partner’s organization—engaging Product for integration, Marketing for GTM launch, and the C-Suite for strategic alignment. • Orchestrate internal Equifax resources such as Product, Technology, Legal, Pricing, Marketing, Sales Engineering and Project Management to get deals across the line. • Partner with Implementation teams for exceptional partner onboarding. • Maintain 100% Salesforce data integrity as the non-negotiable system of record. • Demonstrate a disciplined approach to pipeline management—ensuring every opportunity has a documented next step, accurate stage progression, and validated close dates. • Leverage CRM data not just for reporting, but to proactively identify stalls and accelerate deal velocity through the sales cycle.
