• Experience in one or more adjacent technologies: Observability, IT Infrastructure Monitoring, AIOps, Application Monitoring, Digital Experience Monitoring, Log Analytics, SIEM, Cybersecurity, or related enterprise software.
• Comfortable managing long, complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders, including procurement, legal, technical buyers, and C-level executives.
• Experience generating pipeline, not solely rely on inbound leads.
