Pipeline & Account Management * Maintain disciplined pipeline management, forecasting, and deal documentation in HubSpot. * Ensure opportunities are properly qualified, structured, and progressed with clear next steps. * Identify expansion and long-term growth opportunities within high-value accounts. AI-Assisted Sales Execution * Use AI tools to support account research, discovery preparation, deal analysis, and follow-up drafting. * Leverage call transcripts and AI-generated insights to identify objections, patterns, and next steps. * Apply judgment to AI outputs, knowing when to rely on automation and when human decision-making is required. Cross-Functional Collaboration * Collaborate with Solutions, Support, and Product teams to improve playbooks, pricing guidance, and feedback loops for strategic deals. * Contribute structured product and market feedback based on real customer conversations. REQUIREMENTS:  * 3+ years of SaaS sales experience; experience in hosting, infrastructure, WordPress, or adjacent technology categories is strongly preferred. * Proven ability to manage opportunities through a full sales cycle and consistently hit or exceed targets. * Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical buyers. * Consultative selling mindset with strong discovery, follow-up, and customer-facing problem-solving skills. * Technical curiosity and enough fluency to confidently discuss managed hosting and related customer requirements. * Strong organizational skills and a disciplined approach to pipeline management and execution. * Ability to collaborate effectively with internal partners across sales, marketing, support, and technical teams. * Results-driven, adaptable, and motivated by helping customers find the right solution. Strong judgment and prioritization skills in a fast-paced, evolving environment. * Proficiency with CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot), and disciplined pipeline management. * Comfort using AI-assisted sales tools to support research, preparation, follow-up, and deal analysis. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: * Experience selling to agencies, developers, or infrastructure-aware customers. * Experience working in sales environments that leverage AI for efficiency and insight.
