• Serve as the voice of the manufacturing customer—feeding insights back to internal teams to influence product roadmap and innovation.
• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene using Salesforce.

What you will bring:

• Proven success in SaaS sales, with a strong preference for those who’ve sold into manufacturing, industrial, or operational environments.
• Experience managing full-cycle sales with large, complex deals, including C-suite engagement and multi-stakeholder negotiations.
• A strategic, consultative sales approach with the ability to deeply understand manufacturing-specific workflows, pain points, and compliance pressures.
• Comfort with outbound prospecting and driving pipeline in greenfield accounts.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills—you know how to make complexity simple and value obvious.
• Ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving team environment where customer impact comes first.
