What you will be doing
Roles and responsibilities include:
- Generate pipeline proactively through outbound and strategic prospecting into net new whitespace and install base
- Run crisp, well-prepped discovery and demo cycles, with clear agendas, next steps, and multithreaded alignment
- Sell consultatively - challenging assumptions, navigating friction, and guiding buyers with confidence

The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- 5+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience closing deals in the $25K - $100K+ range, and selling to companies of up to 5k employees.
- Proven ability to generate your own pipeline through outbound prospecting - not reliant on others to hit your number.
- Experience balancing net-new acquisition with install base expansion - able to prioritize and execute both effectively
- Experience selling into multiple personas or product lines in hyper-competitive situations (4+ competitors per deal).
- Comfortable leading complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders on both the buyer and internal side
- Strong track record of executing the fundamentals: CRM hygiene, pre-call prep, timely follow-up, and clear next steps
- Ability to challenge buyers constructively, ask hard questions, and guide deals with confidence
- Natural collaborator - works cross-functionally with SEs, CS, and leadership to win deals
- Demonstrated growth mindset - welcomes coaching, owns development, and brings solutions, not excuses
- Executive presence, structured communication, and the ability to drive urgency without being aggressive
- Experience selling LMSs or adjacent solutions (e.g. sales enablement, talent management or customer success platforms) is a plus
