You will translate customer business priorities into compelling solutions, measurable outcomes, and strong business cases.
Success requires predictable execution, rigorous forecasting, disciplined pipeline management, and proactive deal-risk mitigation.
Beyond individual performance, you will influence sales excellence by mentoring peers, sharing best practices, and raising the quality of strategic selling.
You’ll join a remote-first, collaborative, metrics-driven environment where ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement are highly valued.

• Own and execute a strategic Mid-Market territory plan, including segmentation, account prioritization, whitespace analysis, and multi-quarter growth strategies.
• Build a high-quality pipeline through account-based prospecting, executive outreach, strategic engagement, and disciplined opportunity development.
• Drive predictable revenue across new business and expansion opportunities while maintaining strong pipeline coverage and exceptional CRM hygiene.
• Lead hypothesis-driven discovery that connects customer challenges and business objectives to measurable outcomes.
• Orchestrate complex, multi-threaded sales cycles involving stakeholders across HR, Talent Acquisition, Finance, IT, Procurement, security, and executive leadership.
• Develop comprehensive deal strategies covering stakeholder mapping, competitive positioning, risk mitigation, mutual action plans, and close planning.
• Deliver executive-level presentations and compelling business cases that demonstrate ROI, establish urgency, and support informed purchasing decisions.
• Navigate complex procurement, legal, and security processes while maintaining deal momentum and control.
• Maintain highly accurate forecasts, demonstrate strong commit discipline, and proactively identify and address risks that could affect revenue outcomes.
• Identify expansion opportunities early and establish land-and-expand strategies that support long-term account growth.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to improve win rates, deal velocity, customer outcomes, and overall sales effectiveness.
• Serve as an informal sales leader by collaborating on strategic deals, mentoring peers, sharing best practices, and raising standards for discovery, account strategy, and execution.

Requirements:

• 7–10+ years of quota-carrying SaaS sales experience, preferably within Mid-Market or Commercial segments.
• Demonstrated sustained top-tier sales performance, such as President’s Club recognition or consistent placement among the top 10–20% of sellers.
• Proven success closing complex, multi-stakeholder SaaS deals with meaningful annual contract values.
• Advanced expertise in territory planning, account strategy, pipeline generation, and opportunity management.
• Strong forecasting and inspection discipline, with a demonstrated ability to deliver predictable results quarter after quarter.
• Deep experience with value-based and consultative sales methodologies such as MEDDICC, SPICED, Command of the Message, or similar frameworks.
• Strong executive presence and the ability to build credibility and influence with VP- and C-level stakeholders.
• Excellent business acumen, strategic thinking, negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to independently assess opportunities, identify risks, and continuously refine sales strategies and execution.
• High ownership, accountability, resilience, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
• Experience with SaaS solutions in HR technology, Talent Acquisition, or adjacent markets is preferred.
• Experience selling platforms or multi-product solutions and executing land-and-expand strategies within Mid-Market accounts is an advantage.

Benefits:

• Base salary: $132,000–$165,000 per year (USD), with final compensation determined by skills, experience, qualifications, and location.
