Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in quota-carrying B2B sales, with a strong focus on net-new prospect acquisition.
  • Demonstrated success in a consultative, solution-selling environment within tech — ideally in SaaS, cloud, big data, or open-source.
  • 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.
  • A team-first mindset, high integrity, and eagerness to contribute to a supportive and inclusive culture.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites as required.
