Position Summary
The Territory Sales Executive is a quota-carrying, geographic-territory role responsible for driving new revenue across a defined regional territory of ICP-aligned target accounts within Apiphani's core vertical markets. This role owns the full account and opportunity lifecycle, from account planning through negotiation and close, across SAP consulting, migration, and Day 2/managed services engagements. The ideal candidate is a consultative, quota-proven seller who can efficiently cover a broad territory of accounts across multiple verticals and reposition legacy managed-services conversations as agentic AI-enabled transformation.
Requirements
- 5+ years of quota-carrying transformation and operations/Day 2/Managed Services sales experience
- Proven track record carrying a $3M quota, with demonstrated history of exceeding quota (top 10–20% of company) in prior roles
- Strong SAP domain expertise (both technical and relationships) in regulated industries such as Energy/Utilities, Oil & Gas, Transportation, Industrial Manufacturing, Aerospace & Defense, Telecommunications, Pharmaceuticals
- Demonstrated ability to target, engage, and manage a geographic territory of ICP-aligned targets focused on our core vertical markets
- Proven track record identifying, engaging, sustaining, and closing large, complex annuity-based deals in excess of $3M TCV
Key Responsibilities
Revenue & Pipeline Ownership
- Drive new revenue at prospective and existing accounts within an assigned territory, 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
- Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and leverage automation for timely, accurate pipeline and sales-cycle management
- Qualify key clients and opportunities across the territory against a well-defined ICP
Territory & Account Management
- Develop and maintain account plans, Win Themes, relationship maps, and competitive landscaping across a portfolio of ICP-aligned accounts within the assigned territory
- Operate with an account-focused sales approach rather than a transactional/opportunity-driven one
- Balance efficient coverage of a broad territory with a longer-term account growth vision, while meeting near-term revenue and profitability targets
Positioning & Storytelling
- Act as a natural storyteller, translating a customer's critical business and technology issues into profitable migration and agentic-led managed services opportunities using a consultative/solution-selling methodology
- 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
- Work closely with Apiphani Alliances and Marketing to align on current market differentiators, partner capabilities, and offerings, and to drive exponential revenue growth
- 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 business 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
- Strong territory-management discipline: ability to prioritize a volume of ICP-aligned accounts and manage a full, active pipeline across the region
Role Details / Logistics
- Location / Work Model: Remote, based within assigned regional territory
- Travel Expectation: ~50–70% travel within territory
- Reporting Structure: Reports to VP of Sales
