Job description

Arkestro's Predictive Procurement Platform applies AI, game theory, and behavioral science to enterprise negotiations. It moves teams away from reactive supplier bidding toward data‑driven offers that reduce friction and help both buyers and suppliers reach better outcomes faster.

Arkestro helps procurement teams influence more enterprise spend and uncover savings that traditional sourcing approaches often leave behind by applying predictive intelligence to how sourcing events are designed and executed.

We’re a hyper‑growth company looking for people who take ownership and are comfortable working through complexity. This is a tremendous opportunity if you want to do meaningful work and help shape how large enterprises run procurement. Arkestro is a place where you can have a big impact.

You will drive strategic relationships with prospects and work on high‑visibility, high‑impact Fortune 500 customers at a very exciting time for our organization. We have big aspirations, and we are on a journey to transform the procurement world and help our customers realize the value of Predictive Procurement Orchestration.

Are you up for the challenge? We are looking for someone who excels at consultative, solutions‑oriented sales and who can forge trusted relationships with our customers. You bring a high degree of personal energy and dedication to building success. You can pull the right internal team together to build value‑added solutions and exponentially grow revenue. You must be able to drive execution across functional stakeholders at all levels and manage complex sales processes to ultimately close revenue.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a complex selling environment. We need you to be able to sell our vision and bring our customers with us on our journey. You have to be able to deeply understand our customers' businesses and advise them on how they can utilize Arkestro to drive value.

We are looking to hire in the following locations: Atlanta, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, or Pennsylvania.

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle for your territory — from prospecting through close — executing a disciplined, strategic territory plan designed to meet and exceed revenue targets
• Build and maintain a robust pipeline through a proactive, multi‑channel prospecting strategy, developing detailed target account plans
• Engage C‑suite stakeholders — including CFOs, CPOs, and COOs — in strategic, value‑driven conversations that go beyond features and functionality, clearly articulating Arkestro's business impact, ROI, and competitive differentiation in terms that resonate at the executive level
• Drive executive stakeholder alignment across complex buying committees by mapping organizational influence, building multi‑threaded relationships, and ensuring key decision‑makers are aligned on business value and urgency throughout the deal cycle
• Partner cross‑functionally with internal teams to bring the voice of the customer into the organization and ensure a seamless, high‑touch experience for our prospects
• Maintain rigorous forecast discipline, providing accurate and transparent pipeline visibility, including committed revenue, deal stage progression, and executive engagement status across your territory
• Contribute to the overall growth and culture of Arkestro by embodying a builder mindset — sharing market insights, championing best practices in enterprise and C‑suite selling, and elevating the broader team through collaboration and knowledge sharing

Necessary Qualifications

• 10+ years of enterprise software sales experience with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota within a B2B environment, including a demonstrated history of closing complex, multi‑stakeholder deals at the enterprise level
• Proven ability to sell directly to C‑suite executives — particularly CFOs, CPOs, and COOs — building credibility, trust, and urgency at the highest levels of an organization
• Deep expertise in value‑based selling methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC, Challenger), with the ability to articulate ROI, TCO, and strategic business impact in the language of executive decision‑makers
• Strong executive presence and polished communication skills, with experience leading presentations, business reviews, and board‑level conversations that drive consensus and accelerate deal cycles
• Proven ability to build and orchestrate executive stakeholder alignment across complex buying committees, navigating organizational dynamics to secure buy‑in from multiple decision‑makers simultaneously
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment, bringing structure and discipline to ambiguous situations while remaining adaptable and entrepreneurial
• Passionate about delivering exceptional customer outcomes — building long‑lasting relationships that extend beyond the initial sale and drive expansion and advocacy
• Experience selling disruptive or emerging technology, with a consultative approach that positions Arkestro as a trusted strategic advisor rather than a transactional vendor
