ABOUT THE ROLE

Own and execute: Drive sales cycles in a named-account territory of Fortune 500 retailers, marketplaces, and travel companies, running full-cycle enterprise sales from first conversation to signed agreement and expansion.

Lead complex deals: Manage eight-figure sales cycles involving C-suite sponsors, technical evaluation teams, procurement, legal, and security.

Quarterback resources: Marshal internal and external assets across each transaction—collaborating with executives, forward-deployed engineers, product, legal, and customer teams to drive complex evaluations, pilots, and deployments to a successful close.

Build the business case: Create rigorous, procurement-ready business cases and ROI models that quantify revenue and profit lift, partnering with internal champions to drive consensus across their organizations.

Engage technical buyers: Sell effectively to both business and technical buyers, including CTOs, Chief Product Officers, heads of search and personalization, and engineering or ML organizations.

Drive land-and-expand: Land new logos and systematically grow them into global, multi-surface partnerships—prioritizing expansion as a core tenant of the sales motion.

Shape the GTM playbook: Contribute directly to how Sequen lands and scales customers, helping define our sales playbooks, deal motions, and broader go-to-market strategies.

Develop deep account mastery: Build a comprehensive command of each customer's business model—including their P&L, digital surfaces, and core KPIs—to identify optimization opportunities and construct winning proposals.

ABOUT YOU

Proven track record: Bring 8+ years of enterprise software sales experience, with a consistent history of exceeding quota on seven- and eight-figure transactions.

Enterprise navigation: Have successfully closed and expanded Fortune 500 accounts, expertly navigating long cycles with multiple business stakeholders, procurement, legal, and security teams.

Process discipline: Run a highly structured, methodology-driven sales process (e.g., MEDDPICC or similar) with rigorous qualification, milestone tracking, and forecasting.
