    • Drive performance through deal coaching, pipeline inspection, and accountability

    • Support hiring, onboarding, and ramp of senior enterprise sellers

  • Executive & Deal Leadership

    • Personally engage in strategic, high-value opportunities

    • Coach reps through complex negotiations and executive-level conversations

    • Build trusted relationships with CIOs, CPOs, CFOs, and CEOs

  • Cross-Functional Alignment

    • Partner closely with Pre-Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product

    • Provide market insight and customer feedback to influence GTM and product priorities

Required Qualifications:

  • 15–20 years of enterprise B2B SaaS or software sales experience

  • 5+ years leading enterprise sales teams

  • Proven success selling into Fortune 1000 and large enterprise accounts
