- Proven expertise in applying sales qualification frameworks such as MEDDICC or MEDDPICC throughout the sales cycle.
- Demonstrated competence in managing complex buying processes involving multiple stakeholders and closing full-cycle software sales with senior executives.
- Consistent achievement of or exceeding sales quotas within a defined territory model.
- Comfort using AI-powered tools responsibly for tasks including research, drafting, and data analysis.
- Ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and changing workflows with a willingness to learn.
- A collaborative approach to teamwork and cross-functional cooperation.

Preferred Skills and Knowledge
- Experience selling software solutions to Finance, FP&A, or Office of the CFO stakeholders, with understanding of budgeting, forecasting, or financial reporting processes.
- Proficiency with Salesforce, Gong, or equivalent CRM systems, including skills in sales forecasting, pipeline management, and opportunity tracking.
- Proven track record of developing and managing greenfield or named-account territories in competitive CPM/ERP/BI markets.
- Experience partnering with or competing against ERP implementation partners, system integrators, and accounting firms.
- Familiarity with the Australian and New Zealand mid-market or enterprise software purchasing landscape.
- A history of leading multi-stakeholder sales engagements from initial discovery through to deal closure.
