  • Pipeline & Revenue Execution: Drive rigorous sales forecasting, establish strategic quotas, optimize resource allocation, and ensure pipeline health across complex, multi-year account strategies.
  • Executive Relationship & Outcome Alignment: Coach team members on executive presence, C-suite relationship building, and framing technical capability around concrete business outcomes.
  • Capability & Talent Development: Cultivate top sales talent through continuous skill building, targeted professional development, and strategic account planning frameworks.
  • Executive Sponsorship & Deal Strategy: Act as an executive sponsor in critical client interactions-advising on custom enterprise architectures, leading key contract renewals and expansions, and ensuring long-term strategic alignment.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:
  • Advanced degree (MBA or relevant graduate degree).
  • Proven track record of personally engaging, building relationships, and closing multi-year agreements at the C-suite level.

  • Mastery in framing technology solutions around measurable client business outcomes, business case development, and ROI metrics.
