• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Marketing to bring new solutions to market, develop sales collateral, and refine go-to-market tactics for industry verticals

• Continuously share learnings with the broader team—what’s working, what’s blocking deals, and best practices for selling into complex organizations

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 8+ years of enterprise B2B sales experience in technology, preferably selling infrastructure, API/platform solutions, or developer tooling into large, complex organizations

• A strategic, analytical approach to assessing markets combined with creative, tactical execution to capture opportunities

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships from ICs to C-level executives

• A roll-up-your-sleeves mentality and comfort with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written
