• A strong, referenceable network of relationships within Salesforce Alliances and the broader technology sector.
• Proven track record of managing multi-stakeholder, enterprise-level sales cycles and closing complex digital transformation deals.
• Exceptional negotiation and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate technical value to non-technical executive audiences.
• Ability to analyze industry trends and competitive landscapes to provide expert guidance and "challenger" insights to clients.
• Proficiency in modern sales productivity tools (Slack, JIRA, Sales Cloud) and a self-starter mindset suited for a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Preferred deep domain knowledge in Retail, Consumer Goods, or Health & Life Sciences.
• Salesforce sales or consultant certifications are a significant advantage.
