• Develop and execute a strategic plan to identify and grow sales opportunities across your assigned territory
• Sell and promote Sovos' SaaS-based products and services to accounts in the Financial and Insurance verticals
• Deliver profitable new business revenue growth while meeting and exceeding revenue targets and quotas
• Build and manage a balanced pipeline, driving new business alongside existing account growth
• Manage complex, large-scale enterprise sales cycles and execute late-stage deals with a high degree of success
• Maintain accurate and detailed pipeline data in Salesforce.com
• Leverage AI tools to identify patterns in account activity, prioritise outreach, and streamline reporting and pipeline management
• Build year-over-year consistency in performance and accountability across multiple sales approaches
• Act with integrity and demonstrate ethical behaviour in all matters with internal and external stakeholders
• Take full ownership of customer satisfaction throughout the sales process

• Strong communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to convey complex concepts clearly
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and driven to exceed targets
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire
