• Experience educating buyers on technology value in markets where the business problem is real, but the solution category may not yet be fully understood, budgeted, or prioritized.
• Strong discovery skills, including the ability to uncover operational pain, business risk, process gaps, stakeholder misalignment, technical complexity, or execution challenges.
• Ability to build a compelling business case and create urgency with technical, operational, financial, and executive stakeholders.
• Familiarity with consultative sales methodologies such as MEDDICC, Challenger, SPIN, Command of the Message, or similar frameworks.
• Strong presentation, communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
