  • Lead and execute end-to-end sales cycles with excellence in all phases: from pipeline generation and opportunity qualification to the creation and delivery of a quantifiable business case / ROI justification
  • Collaborate and build trusted relationships with Upwind channel partners and ecosystem to expand and optimize market reach
  • Lead contract negotiations to completion and successful closure

Requirements

  • Proven track record of driving and closing enterprise deals

  • Consistent achievement of quota and revenue targets with strong W2 history
  • Familiarity and experience utilizing proven qualification methodologies (e.g. MEDDPICC) and a disciplined sales process
  • Maintain accurate forecasting and reporting of the business to leadership and embrace a data-driven approach to SFDC hygiene
