  • Provide input back to engineering, product management and marketing

  • Create and deliver accurate forecasts

  • 1+ year of experience in a full cycle SaaS sales role and a track record of achieving targets in a lead-generation role in technical software in the data, DS/ML, or analytics space

  • Understand and be able to teach complex technical concepts.

  • Can speak confidently about the challenges data practitioners encounter in their day-to-day workflows

  • Passionate / curious about the data & analytics space

  • Capable of managing a large pipeline of high-velocity opportunities

  • Capable / willing to learn basic SQL (if you haven't already)

  • Possess an enthusiasm for working as part of a team and an ability to partner successfully with cross-functional peers such as product, engineering, customer success, etc.

  • Be comfortable in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment.

  • Love giving and receiving feedback.

This role will be hybrid (1-2 days per week in office) based out of either our San Francisco or NYC office.

The on-target-earnings (OTE) for this role is: $180,000

In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.
