- Experience educating buyers on technology value in markets where the business problem is real, but the solution category may not yet be fully understood, budgeted, or prioritized.
- Strong discovery skills, including the ability to uncover operational pain, business risk, process gaps, stakeholder misalignment, technical complexity, or execution challenges.
- Ability to build a compelling business case and create urgency with technical, operational, financial, and executive stakeholders.
- Familiarity with consultative sales methodologies such as MEDDICC, Challenger, SPIN, Command of the Message, or similar frameworks.
- Strong presentation, communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- Comfort selling in a remote-first environment, including virtual discovery, product conversations, stakeholder alignment, and executive conversations.
- Strong territory planning, account prioritization, qualification, forecasting, and pipeline management discipline.
