• Navigate complex buying groups, engaging administrators, program directors, finance, IT, and executive leadership.

• Build and manage a healthy, high-quality pipeline with accurate forecasting and strong stage discipline. 

• Working cross functionally to develop account-based marketing strategies (ABM) to penetrate and expand target accounts. 

• Coordinate all aspects of the sales process, including discovery, demos, proposals, procurement, and contract negotiation. 

• Act as a trusted advisor to prospects by deeply understanding their programs, operational challenges, and growth goals. 

• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, SDRs, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success to drive outcomes. 

• Consistently meet or exceed annual bookings and revenue targets.
