Do You Possess the Drive and Autonomy to Seize a High-Growth Market? This is a high-autonomy, high-incentive position for a results-driven professional who thrives on challenge and treats their territory as a high-growth business venture. We are seeking a self-confident, competitive, and decisive individuals to aggressively drive new logo acquisition across an assigned territory. If you are motivated by independence, speed, and uncapped earning potential, this is your opportunity.

The Mission: Consistent New Business Acquisition. As a full-cycle seller, you will be singularly responsible for revenue growth within your assigned territory. Your focus is on forging long-term, strategic partnerships with new clients. Your success is defined by your ability to prospect, strategize, negotiate, and close high-value deals with urgency.

Core Competencies and Responsibilities:

Success requires taking full ownership and driving accountability for all territory results. * Maintain a high level of sales activity, including outbound calls, social selling, and strategic engagement, to ensure pipeline health.

Essential Experience and Skills:

* Successful track record of driving new logo acquisition and managing extended sales cycles in the HR, Finance, or related enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) cloud ecosystem. Must show demonstrable success in structuring and selling associated high-value Professional Services. * Proven ability to successfully navigate extended sales cycles and complex, multi-stakeholder environments while managing multiple concurrent opportunities. * Exceptional communication and presentation skills (both written and verbal) with the ability to persuasively influence and manage stakeholders across all organizational levels. * Required fluency in English (written and verbal) is essential for global team collaboration and documentation. Fluency in other regional languages is highly desirable and may be advantageous depending on the assigned territory. * Ability to meet travel requirements (15-20% a year) for regional events and critical customer meetings.
