• Demonstrate a track record of identifying, developing, and closing large, complex enterprise opportunities.

• Build and maintain a strong pipeline that translates into meaningful annual bookings and revenue.  
• Leverage an established industry network while continuing to develop new relationships and opportunities.  
• Build credibility with customer executives while partnering effectively with engineering, Solutions, Operations, and delivery teams.

• Balance commercial drive with a collaborative, humble approach that fits a team-based sales environment.  
• Look beyond the individual sale, contributing to how we grow the business, strengthen our sales approach, and build the future of DCS.  

Why DCS

DCS is at an exciting point in its Distribution & Fulfillment growth journey. The foundation is in place; strong engineering and delivery capabilities, an expanding software suite, established customer relationships, and significant leadership investment in the business.  

For the right Senior Account Executive, that creates meaningful whitespace. You’ll have the ability to help shape your territory and account strategy, work across a broad set of technologies and solutions, and have an outsized impact on a business that is positioned for significant growth.  

If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can hunt, build, influence, and grow, not simply inherit a number, we’d like to talk.
