• Deliver compelling presentations, demos, and business value discussions to technical and executive audiences.

• Expands strategic customer relationships over time.

What We're Looking For 

• 2-5 years of B2B sales experience with a proven record of prospecting and quota achievement.

• Ability to engage confidently with IT managers, directors, executives, and business stakeholders. 

• Organized, accountable, and comfortable managing multiple opportunities simultaneously. 

• Experience using CRM and sales engagement tools. 

• Willingness to travel periodically for customer, partner, and team meetings.
