• Comfort in gray areas; able to sell a differentiated but still maturing technology proposition.
• Analytical fluency with pipeline data and SalesForce; able to diagnose where a funnel is failing rather than only report that it is.
• Experience with outbound sales engagement/sequencing tools (e.g., Outreach, Salesloft,
• Apollo).
• Experience selling to and navigating multi-stakeholder enterprise buying committees.
• Ability to build genuine internal relationships across a matrixed organization.
