  • Achieve and exceed sales quotas on a quarterly and annual basis by developing a strategic territory plan, target account list, and regional go-to-market approach
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with sales engineering, product, professional services, marketing, legal, and finance teams to deliver value-driven solutions

  • 6+ years of Enterprise sales experience with a strong track record of meeting or exceeding quotas, selling technical solutions and enterprise software products
  • Experience executing complex enterprise sales strategies within observability, monitoring, DevOps, infrastructure, data platforms, or adjacent spaces such as Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, or AI/ML
  • A solution-oriented sales approach, with experience managing long, complex sales cycles and strong presentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills
