Your Impact

As a Territory Account Executive (TAE), you are a disciplined “hunter” responsible for driving net new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by identifying and closing high-value deals with enterprise accounts within a defined U.S. territory. You will leverage a consultative, value-based approach to displace legacy commerce systems and influence multiple stakeholders early in the buying cycle.

• Territory Strategy & Market Penetration: Own end-to-end territory planning, including segmentation, prioritization, and go-to-market execution. Actively generate pipeline through outbound prospecting, events, digital campaigns, and channel partnerships.
• Value-Based Selling & Business Outcomes: Conduct deep discovery to uncover pain points tied to revenue, risk, or competitive advantage. Build ROI-driven proposals that clearly quantify value and influence economic buyers. Use MEDDPICC to create urgency and executive alignment.
• Organizational Navigation & Political Selling: Map account stakeholders and understand internal power structures to build multi-threaded relationships. Engage champions, influencers, and decision makers across technical, operational, and financial functions.
• Build Pipeline: Proactively and consistently build a robust pipeline across the assigned territory by effectively leveraging technology (e.g., SFDC, Outreach) and professional relationships. Demonstrate the ability to create, manage, and close multiple deals concurrently across various customers and sales cycles. Maintain strict weekly discipline dedicated to prospecting to ensure continuous, active pipeline creation for future business.
• Forecasting & Execution: Maintain an accurate pipeline through disciplined CRM management and forecast new business revenue with precision. Skillfully navigate sales cycles in enterprise organizations involving multiple stakeholders (Sales Engineering, Value Engineering) and competitive scenarios.
• Partner Leverage: Actively engage and co-sell with System Integrator (SI) and technology partners to maximize market coverage and deal influence.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Drive pipeline generation and accelerate deal cycles through close collaboration with BDR, Marketing, and Partner teams. Demonstrate strong qualification skills, knowing when to strategically disqualify opportunities and when to engage the wider team to enhance deal velocity.
