If you're energized by building pipeline, winning new business, and exceeding ambitious goals, we'd love to hear from you.

• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline through outbound prospecting, inbound opportunities, referrals, and strategic account planning.
• Identify and engage decision-makers while developing relationships with multiple stakeholders throughout the buying process.
• Consistently exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual new business and ARR targets.

Consultative Selling

• Lead thoughtful discovery conversations to understand customer goals, challenges, and business priorities.
• Position CeriFi's solutions through a consultative, value-based sales approach.
• Deliver compelling product demonstrations and presentations tailored to each customer's needs.
• Develop business cases, proposals, and pricing strategies that drive customer value and long-term partnerships.

Pipeline Management & Forecasting

• Maintain accurate opportunity, pipeline, and forecasting data within Salesforce CRM.
• Manage sales activities with discipline and consistency to support predictable revenue growth.
• Track progress against key sales metrics while proactively identifying opportunities to improve conversion and win rates.

Market Intelligence & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Stay informed on market trends, competitor activity, and customer needs to strengthen sales strategies.
• Partner closely with Marketing, Sales Development, Product, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
• Share customer insights that help shape go-to-market strategies and future product development.
