Position Overview
This is a hunter role, but you won't be starting from a blank page. You'll work with outbound cadences, sequencing, and messaging playbooks already built by sales leadership, so you can focus on what you do best: prospecting, building pipeline, and closing complex enterprise deals. Your feedback and field experience will directly inform how those playbooks evolve over time. You'll join a small team of tenured Account Executives and a Sales Operations Manager and report directly to the Vice President of Sales, with close visibility into company strategy.
Your work has a real, visible impact on revenue predictability and the company's go-to-market execution. And while the primary focus is landing new logos, you'll also grow the accounts you close through cross-sell, upsell, and renewals, building long-term relationships rather than handing accounts off after the sale.
