- Research and understand a customers’ background and strategic objectives
- Work with engineers, and customer success to ensure smooth delivery for your clients
- Your goal is to put “meat on the table” (revenue)
- To do this you’ll need to be hard working, aggressive, smart, creative, and diligent
- This starts by deeply understanding our customer, their pains, fears, desires, and motivations
- You’ll need to be self-motivated, for example by working with the marketing team to build sales enablement materials, such as demos, presentations, pre-reads, that you need to close the deal
- It’s important that you are also data driven, diligently fill out the CRM, give feedback to the SDRs, marketing, and sales teams so we can iterate quickly and learn in real-time
- Can handle a lot of responsibility, freedom, and ambiguity. You don’t get blocked by things but rather knock down walls to get things done
- Obsessed with building strong customer relationships
- Are logical, data driven, can formulate a concrete hypothesis, keep organized, test it out quickly and iterate based on the results
- Can move extremely fast with limited resources
- Excited when you help solve problems for your customers
- Data driven and ambitious
- You can learn quickly, stay up to date with latest technologies, competitors, marketing trends, and business strategies
- Would rather bounce ideas around with your peers than go it alone
- 6+ years of F2000 direct enterprise selling experience and exceeding sales goals
- Smart, humble, hardworking, and collaborative
- By hardworking, we don’t mean long hours (be with your family). What we mean is while you’re here you’re doing the best work of your life. It means being disciplined, professional, focused, gritty, resilient, and resourceful, pragmatic. You believe that responsibility for your work does not end with deployment
- The people we like the most are smart but humble
- All four of the above are required. We all know people missing one of these and it’s not nice to work with them (e.g. someone who is smart and hardworking but not humble and collaborative)
- A network of strategic clients in the region is a plus
- Strong beliefs weakly held, etc
- Highly experienced and committed to utilizing solution selling skills
- By collaborative, we don’t mean submissive or deferential, it means taking leadership from everywhere. “I’m taking responsibility to fix this system”, if there’s a lack of trust “I’m going to address it”, if goals are unclear “I’m going to deal with it”, it’s about being a meritocracy
- Demonstrated ability to hunt for new-logo enterprise customers with strong desire to WIN
- By smart we don’t necessarily mean high IQ (although a huge plus), but an affinity toward learning. We want to automate as much as possible so we can focus on the few things that require human intelligence and creativity
- Basic understanding of data science, machine learning and applied AI is a plus
- Wants to win no matter what, but will not cross lines of integrity to get there
- By humble we don’t mean submissive or unambitious, we mean it in the same way Roger Federer is humble
- Proven negotiation and closing skills
- BA/BS or equivalent educational background
