We’re leaning into intelligent tools to streamline our workflows, giving us more time for high-impact innovation. We look for curious, forward-thinking people who are ready to explore how AI can elevate their work and help us reimagine the future of HR.

• Lead complex, consultative sales conversations that diagnose customer business needs and align BambooHR solutions accordingly.
• Drive consistent sales execution using BambooHR’s sales methodology to meet and exceed quota.
• Forecast accurately, build and maintain healthy pipeline coverage, and document all activity thoroughly in the CRM.
• Demonstrate deep product and use‑case knowledge across BambooHR’s platform and service lines.
• Partner with BDRs to move prospects from latent to active need by creating urgency and value.
• Set the foundation for long‑term customer success through clear, thoughtful handoffs to post‑sales teams, including identification of future growth opportunities.
• Serve as a role model within the sales organization by sharing best practices, contributing to team learning, and elevating outbound execution standards.

• Demonstrated ability to engage and influence senior leaders and executive stakeholders.
• Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability for results.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to tailor messaging to all levels of an organization.
• Ability to prioritize effectively and manage time across multiple deals and initiatives.
• Strong active listening skills to uncover customer pain points and align solutions thoughtfully.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

What Will Make Us Really Love You

• Advanced objection‑handling and negotiation skills.
• Ability to establish executive sponsorship and navigate multi‑stakeholder buying committees.
• A persuasive, customer‑first sales approach paired with strong internal collaboration skills.
