Job description

Professional Services firms are under pressure to do more with less — faster delivery, better utilization, stronger margins, happier clients. Kantata is the leading cloud platform built to solve exactly that. Over 2,500 customers in 100+ countries use us to plan resources, manage projects, and unlock AI-driven insights that transform how they run their businesses.

We're scaling fast — well-funded, expanding globally, and investing heavily in AI and enterprise sales. If you love winning complex deals, opening new markets, and becoming a trusted advisor to executive buyers, we want to talk to you.

The Opportunity

This isn't a territory-maintenance role. You'll own a strategic Enterprise patch (1,000+ employee organizations) — hunting new opportunities, engaging C-level executives, and running full sales cycles from first call to close. You'll be backed by top-tier Solution Engineers, Customer Success, Marketing, and Executive Leadership, with real autonomy and real investment behind you.

Why Sellers Join Kantata

• Greenfield territory — most enterprise accounts are still underpenetrated, meaning real whitespace to build and win big.
• A mission-critical platform — not a point solution. Kantata drives profitability, utilization, forecasting, and delivery outcomes that matter to the C-suite.
• Expert partners — sell alongside Solution Engineers and leaders who know enterprise buying cycles and are invested in your success.
• A company built for the long haul — well-capitalized, growing, and investing in product, AI, and enterprise sales — not just defending market share.

What You'll Do

• Build and run a strategic territory plan for Enterprise accounts (1,000+ employees)
• Generate pipeline through outbound prospecting and executive relationship-building
• Lead consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from discovery to close
• Engage CFOs, COOs, CIOs, PMO leaders, and other key stakeholders
• Partner with Solution Engineers on demos and business value
• Apply MEDDICC (or similar) discipline to navigate buying committees
• Build executive-level business cases with clear, measurable ROI
• Forecast accurately while consistently beating quota

What You Bring

• 7+ years of enterprise SaaS sales success, consistently exceeding $1M+ quotas
• Track record closing complex six- and seven-figure deals
• Experience selling to C-level execs across business and IT
• Strong MEDDICC (or similar) qualification discipline
• Comfort partnering with Solution Engineers throughout the cycle
• Sharp outbound prospecting instincts
• Excellent executive communication and negotiation skills
• Salesforce CRM experience
• Bilingual German Speaking

Additional Information

• Onsite customer/prospect visits required; in person collaboration with team encouraged 1-2 times per week
