Many of the world’s biggest companies trust Solace to modernize their IT infrastructure by embracing trends like AI, cloud and IoT so they can create awesome experiences for their customers, partners and employees.

Help Us, Help Them, Help You.
By joining our first-class team, you will be helping leading enterprises, including common household brands we all know and love, reach their full potential in this real-time, digital world.
The next time you drive a luxury vehicle, do some online banking, fly in a plane, or order some furniture online, you could be getting a better experience as a direct result of our technology, and your hard work. Wouldn’t that be great!?

Overview

This is a remote-first position, ideal for a senior sales professional with experience navigating complex, consultative sales cycles within large organizations in the North American Region. In this role, you will be responsible for identifying and securing new enterprise accounts, expanding relationships within existing customers, and positioning Solace as a critical enabler of both traditional event-driven architecture (EDA) and next-generation AI-driven initiatives.

• Ultimately, our Sales Directors are accountable to win new business, and in the process will build strong client relationships (at both the working and executive level), negotiate complex deals, and establish long-lasting client relationships.
