• Create and manage a pipeline of Enterprise accounts, focused on Federal Civilian/DoD agencies, to consistently meet or exceed quarterly and annual sales targets
• Apply effective discovery and value-selling techniques to build and strengthen relationships with key decision-makers in both new and existing customers (5000+ FTEs)
• Align with executives on business challenges and gain sponsorship for enterprise wide deployments for a suite of products, identifying where Figma’s roadmap and innovations fit in the long term
• Conduct thorough analysis to create strategic account plans that outline company priorities and initiatives, multi-threading at an executive level to build on expansion opportunities
• Manage a book of business by tiering accounts and initiating techniques to save contractions
• Co-create with cross-functional partners to expertly position Figma, drive deals forward and ensure customer success
• Leverage opportunities to advance executive level relationships through in-person meetings and networking opportunities

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience closing sales, over multiple years, for a software or SaaS business with an Enterprise book of customers (5000+ FTEs), selling to executives
• Consistent performance meeting pipeline generation targets for net new business
• Demonstrated experience successfully managing complex sales cycles (6 months+)
• A sales methodology and process that creates value for customers

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Experience selling solutions to technical audiences at a strategic level (i.e. Engineering, Product, Design teams)
• Demonstrated ability to succeed in a changing environment
• Certified in deal qualification and prospect discovery

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills.
