The role requires strong technical credibility, commercial discipline, and the ability to create urgency in a rapidly evolving market.

You will work in an environment where AI technology, enterprise sales, and emerging market needs intersect.

Success will be measured through pipeline development, new-logo acquisition, quota performance, and reliable forecasting.

Accountabilities:

• Own net-new logo acquisition across your assigned territory, targeting AI/ML teams, Chief AI Officers, and other strategic technical buyers while managing the complete sales cycle.

• Develop and execute territory and account plans, identifying priority organizations and the stakeholders most likely to influence or own AI investments.
• Multi-thread relationships across AI engineering, AI operations, data platforms, software engineering, and executive sponsors to build consensus and accelerate complex deals.
• Connect AI and unstructured data solutions to broader data governance initiatives, identifying opportunities for strategic expansion within enterprise accounts.
• Build trust and credibility with highly technical buyers by understanding their challenges and communicating solutions in terms of measurable business value.
• Navigate complex buying processes and create genuine urgency while adapting to shifting priorities and timelines.
• Maintain accurate, real-time Salesforce data and provide reliable forecasts that enable effective business planning.
• Progress qualified opportunities through discovery, evaluation, negotiation, and close, with clear milestones and disciplined sales execution.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience selling to technical buyers, particularly within AI/ML, data engineering, platform engineering, or software engineering organizations.
• Proven track record of closing enterprise deals with $200K+ ACV, with AI/ML teams serving as the primary economic buyer.
• Demonstrated quota attainment of at least 100% across two or more employers.
• Experience using AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot to solve business challenges, improve workflows, or generate measurable outcomes.
• Strong understanding of enterprise AI and unstructured data concepts, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into compelling business value.
• Ability to quickly establish credibility with AI engineers and technical stakeholders through consultative, peer-level conversations.
• Strong multi-threading skills and the ability to build relationships across complex buying committees and executive stakeholders.
• Comfortable navigating AI governance topics such as bias, auditability, and model risk, even without an internal subject matter expert present.
• Strong prospecting, discovery, negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills, combined with a proactive hunter mentality.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant professional experience.
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Benefits:

• Base salary range of $128,000–$160,000 per year.
