Overview

Where Complexity Meets Structure and Top Performers Win

There is a reason enterprise buyers are moving to Paycor. We built something no one else in the market can replicate: AI-enabled enterprise technology backed by the deepest operational expertise in the HCM industry. Our platform is purpose-built for how enterprise HR and finance actually work. When you sell for Paycor, you are not asking buyers to take a leap of faith. You are bringing them the answer the market has been waiting for.

Enterprise Sales at Paycor is built for experienced sellers who want to operate at a higher level. You'll partner with organizations of 100+ employees, helping them solve complex workforce challenges through a modern, end-to-end HCM platform and service experience.

This is a true new-logo, advisory services role, focused on building a pipeline, running disciplined sales cycles, and closing high-impact deals. You'll work within a structured selling environment with defined territories, clear go-to-market plays, integrated sales support tools, and opportunities to develop Centers of Influence (COI) partnerships and expand your professional networkso you can focus on what matters most: winning.
