Job description

Build your future with Sovos.

If you're seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you've come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges -- we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes -- apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You'll Do

As a Senior Enterprise Account Executive at Sovos, you’ll play a key role in deepening relationships with our enterprise clients and uncovering new ways they can maximize the value of our compliance solutions. You’ll work closely with existing clients to identify opportunities where Sovos products can further streamline their compliance processes, while driving strategic contract reviews and leading use case discussions to validate their evolving needs and reveal new growth potential.

In this strategic, consultative role, you’ll develop and manage comprehensive sales engagement strategies that align with each client’s goals. Drawing on your expertise in territory planning and your deep understanding of the Sovos solution portfolio, you’ll guide clients through their buying journeys and ensure they’re getting the most out of their partnership with us. As a trusted advisor, you’ll also bring thought leadership and actionable insights to every interaction, helping clients navigate compliance complexities with confidence and achieve meaningful business outcomes.

This is a high-impact opportunity for a sales professional who thrives on building lasting relationships, solving complex challenges, and driving measurable success for both clients and Sovos.

More specifically, you will:

• Effectively review and showcase the value of Sovos' SaaS-based products and services to current accounts
• Grow and nurture a balanced pipeline across your assigned territory, achieving account contract execution and business growth targets
• Deliver profitable new agreements within your current client base while meeting and exceeding revenue targets and relevant quotas
• Accurately forecast expected business results both in-month and in-quarter
• Build a consistent year-over-year track record of performance excellence by utilizing multiple contract management approaches and managing complex agreements in large enterprises
• Work independently with Procurement teams, leveraging advanced negotiation skills including handling "non-starters"
• Show self-awareness and commitment to personal development and continuous learning
• Clearly communicate value throughout the sales cycle and set appropriate expectations for implementation and product usage
• Skillfully integrate late-stage changes without disrupting deal momentum
• Conduct executive-level discussions with senior contacts with confidence and expertise
• Successfully close a high percentage of deals that reach late sales stages
• Communicate effectively through multiple channels including phone, email, social media, and onsite meetings
• Participate in onboarding and mentor programs, cloud rotations, and other professional development opportunities
• Serve as a role model to the broader sales team by sharing best practices, messaging strategies, and expertise

What We Need From You

• 3+ years of account management/execution and quota-carrying sales experience; business-to-business sales experience preferred but not required
• Demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding annual quota for at least two years and/or achieving PClub recognition
• Experience with or knowledge of SaaS solutions/environments (preferred)
• Proven track record of growing and retaining a book of business while exceeding quota targets
• Ability to present value-based, consultative agreements by listening to customer needs and shaping a shared vision for long-term relationships
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for navigating difficult conversations both internally and externally
• Experience working with procurement, legal teams, and handling renewal negotiations
• Self-motivation and team player mentality with a drive to exceed targets
• Ability to project a positive and professional image to all stakeholders
• Willingness to travel moderately for client meetings, trade shows, Sovos events, and special projects
• Skill in nurturing and evolving cross-functional partnerships to sell throughout new territories
