  • Manage the Sales Cycle: Oversee the end-to-end sales cycle-from prospecting and initial engagement to closing deals and driving platform adoption.
  • Grow & Retain: Expand existing accounts and create new business opportunities across approximately 10-15 assigned accounts. Identify opportunities to upsell and cross-sell while increasing our footprint within those organizations.
  • Drive Strategic Value: Apply knowledge of open source use cases and OpenTeams' value proposition to increase customer success and build business cases around ROI.
  • Coordinate Expertise: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product, technical support, and industry experts, to deliver customer value and guide end-to-end sales.
  • Build Relationships: Cultivate long-term relationships across customer organizations, positioning OpenTeams as a trusted strategic partner.

What You Will Bring
  • Consulting & Solutioning Background: Proven experience in a professional services or consulting environment, with a strong ability to translate customer pain points into integrated, multi-faceted solutions.
  • Product Selling Expertise: A track record of selling complex product and service bundles. You have a deep understanding of how to position SaaS offerings alongside bespoke consulting services to provide a total solution.
  • Experience: 5-7 years in technology sales, particularly within infrastructure, cloud, or open-source ecosystems.
  • Track Record: A proven history of meeting or exceeding annual sales targets through disciplined execution.
  • Enterprise Connections: An established background and strong network of connections to enterprise buyers.
  • Sales History: A proven track record of managing and closing complex sales deals in the $1M-$8M range.
  • Strategic Orientation: Strong value engineering skills to build business cases around ROI and long-term partnership value.
  • Market Insight: Ability to articulate industry trends, competitive landscapes, and business challenges.
  • Professionalism: Self-motivation, resilience, and a results-driven approach to thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment.
  • Methodology: Familiarity with modern sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, SFDC).
  • Collaboration: A desire to work in a collaborative, remote-first environment.
