• Proven ability to manage multi-stakeholder sales cycles
• Strong track record of driving both account expansion and new revenue generation
• Comfortable operating in consultative, outcomes-based sales environments

• High-Growth Environment: 40%+ sustained growth with significant GTM investment
• Career Trajectory: Clear path to increased scope, seniority, and potential leadership opportunities as the organization scales
