Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role
At Sovos, we're building a dedicated sales team from the ground up to support our growing portfolio of AI-native offerings, spanning financial orchestration, compliance automation, and intelligent invoicing. You'll be one of the first technical sellers on this team, joining at the foundation as we define the playbook together. This isn't a support role that ends with a good demo. You'll own technical opportunities end-to-end, configuring the platform to a client's real environment and building the technical proof points your Account Executive partner uses to close.
More specifically, you will:
- Carry a quota tied to technical opportunity progression from discovery through close, owning the technical inputs (POC results, integration effort, system fit) that feed the ROI and TCO business case.
- Lead technical workshops and proofs of concept with clear success criteria, partnering with your AE to navigate objections, build urgency, and drive the opportunity to a decision.
- Configure the platform against a client's real data and workflows ahead of every demo, navigating model routing, APIs, integrations, data governance, and security with Engineering and IT.
- Translate technical solutions into ROI, TCO, and operational impact for Finance and executive stakeholders, moving seamlessly between architecture conversations and business-level discussions.
- Leverage AI tools to improve qualification, demo configuration, and business case development, staying engaged through kickoff and early delivery to maintain technical continuity with the Field Delivery Engineering team.
- Help shape the qualification criteria, demo approach, and business case format this team will use going forwards, bringing customer and market feedback back into how Sovos positions and packages its AI-native offerings.
What You Bring to Sovos
- You've successfully led business process transformation or procurement optimization projects, ideally gained through consulting or working buyer-side, ideally with procurement or AP expertise gained from working buyer-side rather than solely in an advisory capacity.
- You have enough systems fluency to know where a client's data lives (SAP vs. Ariba vs. elsewhere) and how workflows cross systems; familiarity with AI gateways, model routing, or data governance is a strong plus.
- You bring direct quota-carrying or deal-closing ownership of the pre-sale cycle, not only demo or support experience, with a demonstrated ability to close complex B2B deals with clear revenue accountability, moving opportunities from technical discovery through contract signature and clear revenue accountability.
- You're comfortable moving between technical and executive conversations in the same day (sometimes the same meeting), building executive-level business cases that include ROI and TCO analyses.
- Comfort with AI-assisted workflows and automation or workflow platforms is important; experience selling AI infrastructure, applications, agents, workflow automation, or finance technology is preferred.
- Experience helping launch a new product or build an early go-to-market motion is preferred, as is experience at a consulting firm with a finance transformation or automation practice.
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire.
