This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and customer success teams to shape how GenAI is adopted across different domains.

What You’ll Do:

• Own and manage the full sales cycle, from lead stage to close with a strong bias for follow-up and follow-through

• Act as a trusted advisor to prospects and customers, learning their needs and demonstrating how our products can solve real problems

• Drive proof-of-concept efforts, working with sales engineers and product experts to demonstrate tangible value

• Stay on top of product updates and industry trends to educate customers and shape the conversation around GenAI adoption

• Build long-term customer relationships and support post-sale success in partnership with our deployment and support teams

• Negotiate pricing and deal terms and work with legal to redline contracts

• Bring customer insights back to product and engineering teams to inform the future roadmap and improve the user experience

• Help define and iterate on our sales playbook - your input will help shape our go to market strategies
