You are a tactical strategist and Sales professional. You're happiest selling in the SaaS industry, where fast growth, a *very* brisk pace, and an innovative product are the norm. You sell the value and ROI of competitive software solutions by consulting with your clients, building and maintaining strong relationships, and by efficiently allocating the resources of your regional Sales team. You've been selling for a while, so you know how to forecast, set and monitor metrics, leverage connections, and serve as a manager to a team of remotely located, quota-carrying Sales reps. You are ready to take on the challenge of creating, managing, and achieving Clarabridge's aggressive sales targets for your assigned territory.

Cultivate and maintain your own solid pipeline of well qualified opportunities
Land and expand is a key strategy to our growth-you will be expected to develop and maintain key accounts and identify new opportunities for the company to continue to deliver value and demonstrate the impact our product has to the client's customer success strategy
Partner with the Sales team, corporate leadership, and Talent & Culture to ensure the hiring and development of a top-notch sales team that includes established and competitive compensation plans, valuable training resources, and compelling sales incentive programs
