The Enterprise Sales Executive is a quota-carrying, national-coverage role responsible for driving new revenue within a focused set of strategic, industry-aligned accounts organizations typically representing $5B+ in annual company revenue. This role owns the full account and opportunity lifecycle, from strategic account planning through executive-level negotiation and close, across SAP consulting, migration, and Day 2/managed services engagements. The ideal candidate is a consultative, quota-proven seller who can navigate highly complex, politically decentralized buying groups and reposition legacy managed-services conversations as agentic AI-enabled transformation. This role requires 30-50% travel and reports into our VP of Sales, Steve Winslow. 

Enterprise-Specific Requirements

10+ years of quota-carrying transformation and operations/Day 2/Managed Services sales experience

Proven track record carrying a $5M+ quota, with demonstrated history of exceeding quota (top 10% of company) in prior roles

Strong technical and relationship-based domain expertise in regulated industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Energy/Utilities, Oil & Gas, Industrial Manufacturing, Transportation, Telecommunications, or Pharmaceuticals

Demonstrated ability to target, engage, and manage a focused set of industry-oriented strategic accounts (typically $5B+ in annual revenue) on a national basis — navigating multiple buying groups, highly complex political maps, decentralized buying motions, long sales cycles, and multi-year contract structures

Proven track record identifying, engaging, sustaining, and closing large, complex annuity-based deals in excess of $5M TCV

Key Responsibilities

Revenue & Pipeline Ownership

Drive new revenue at prospective and existing accounts, selling across the SAP consulting, migration, and managed services marketplace

Own the entire account and opportunity sales cycle end-to-end, for both short- and long-term engagements

Build and execute a predictable closing plan; negotiate and close complex managed services engagements at the executive level

Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and leverage automation for timely, accurate pipeline and sales-cycle management

Qualify key clients and opportunities against a well-defined ICP

Strategic Account Management

Develop and maintain strategic account plans, Win Themes, political/relationship maps, and competitive landscaping for complex, multi-stakeholder engagements

Operate with an account-focused sales approach rather than a transactional/opportunity-driven one

Balance a long-term strategic sales vision with near-term revenue and profitability targets

Positioning & Storytelling

Creatively construct value propositions customized to each client's specific goals, objectives, and constraints

Reposition traditional managed-services conversations as platform-led, agentic AI sales — articulating how Apiphani's proprietary AI engine, Luumen, captures existing ECC processes and carries institutional knowledge into the Day 2 S/4HANA environment

Build business cases grounded in future-state efficiency and knowledge continuity, appropriate to selling an emerging solution category, rather than point-in-time cost comparisons

Structure both combined migration-and-Day-2 engagements and standalone migration deals designed to convert into long-term managed-services relationships via an embedded AI-driven capability

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Ecosystem

Co-sell with SAP and hyperscaler alliance teams (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to align on current market differentiators, partner capabilities, and joint offerings

Build and manage pipeline through a blend of self-sourced enterprise prospecting, partner-led (SAP/hyperscaler) co-sell opportunities, and Marketing-supported inbound

Leverage AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) to accelerate internal and external sales processes, deliverables, and value propositions

Use account intelligence platforms (Draup, ZoomInfo, etc.) to understand key account initiatives, constraints, and core strategies, and convert that intelligence into strategic account plans

Qualifications & Skills

Working technical fluency in SAP ECC-to-S/4HANA migration concepts, Day 2 managed services, and applied AI/automation — sufficient to engage IT and enterprise architecture stakeholders as a credible technical counterpart

Strong knowledge of SAP, Red Hat, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and ServiceNow

Thrives with autonomy; operates with the highest level of integrity while thinking big and embracing ambiguity and challenges

Excellent executive presence and negotiation skills in high-stakes, multi-stakeholder settings
