• Drive and close new SaaS/Cloud platform deals, with a focus on land-and-expand strategies
• Negotiate commercial terms in alignment with value delivered, usage patterns, and strategic fit

Platform Adoption & Value Realization

• Develop usage and expansion plans in partnership with customers and internal teams

• Monitor usage trends, identify adoption gaps, and proactively address risk

• Influence post-sale expansion by championing new use cases and capabilities

• Serve as a customer advocate internally to shape roadmap, pricing, and support

Strategic Feedback & GTM Iteration

• Capture and share customer insights to improve CONNECT product-market fit and GTM messaging
• Inform commercial model, onboarding approaches, and playbooks for future scale
• Collaborate closely with product, marketing, customer success, partnerships, sales enablement, and regional sales teams

Essential Requirements:

• Experience in enterprise B2B SaaS or Cloud software roles (e.g., Account Executive, Account Manager, Solution Consultant)
• Proven track record owning and delivering against ARR targets and closing complex deals
• Strong sales acumen, including territory planning, value-based selling, stakeholder mapping, and negotiation
• Experience working with (or selling into) asset-intensive industries like energy, chemicals, or manufacturing is a plus
• Comfort engaging both technical users and business decision-makers
• Experience driving product adoption and account growth post-sale
• Familiarity with sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message
