Job SummaryWe are seeking a high-octane
Enterprise Sales Specialist to spearhead Chronosphere's growth within the world's most sophisticated "Born-in-the-Cloud" (BITC) organizations. These are companies built on Kubernetes, microservices, and massive scale, where legacy observability tools are breaking under the weight of high-cardinality data.
The ideal candidate understands that selling Chronosphere isn't just about selling a "better dashboard"-it's about selling
Economic Control and
Engineering Efficiency. You will thrive in high-growth environments, navigating complex technical ecosystems to help the world's most innovative engineering teams tame the "data firehose."
Your Impact:- Build and execute a strategic territory plan focused exclusively on large-scale, cloud-native enterprises where observability is a mission-critical business pillar.
- Move beyond "features and functions" to lead discovery calls centered on OKRs, Cloud Spend, and MTTR. You will translate technical complexity into clear business value for CTOs and Heads of Infrastructure.
- Champion Chronosphere's unique ability to give customers control over their telemetry data, helping them eliminate "junk metrics" and reduce observability waste by 40-60%.
- Take full ownership of the sales cycle, from unseating entrenched legacy incumbents (Datadog, New Relic, Splunk) to navigating complex procurement and security reviews.
- Lead deep-dive architectural discussions alongside Sales Engineers, proving how our Prometheus-native and OpenTelemetry-first platform future-proofs their stack.
- Partner with the Core Sales and Alliances teams (including our Palo Alto Networks ecosystem) to deliver integrated, "Agentic Observability" solutions. Maintain a disciplined pipeline and accurate forecasting, utilizing a value-based sales methodology (e.g., MEDDPICC) to ensure predictable growth.
- Take 100% ownership of building a net-new pipeline from scratch. You aren't waiting for inbound leads; you are orchestrating high-value outbound campaigns into the CTO and VP of Infrastructure offices of the world's largest cloud-native companies.
Qualifications Your Experience:- 5+ years of over-performance in a hunter-specific role, consistently exceeding quotas by landing 7-figure deals in new enterprise accounts.
- You speak the language of SREs and Platform Engineers. You understand the nuances of Kubernetes, microservices, and the challenges of high-cardinality telemetry.
- You aren't afraid to challenge a customer's current observability strategy and provide a roadmap for better data governance and cost-efficiency.
- Proven track record of building "multi-threaded" relationships across Engineering, Finance (FinOps), and C-suite leadership.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where the product evolves rapidly (e.g., our expansion into AI-driven autonomous remediation).
- Deep familiarity with the cloud-native ecosystem (Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry). You must be able to "talk shop" with a Lead SRE one minute and discuss "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS) with a CFO the next.
