• Strong experience selling SaaS or software solutions and managing complex sales opportunities from lead generation through to close.
• Demonstrable success in self-generating pipeline through outbound activity, networking, and proactive business development.
• Skilled in consultative selling, needs analysis, and value-based solution positioning.
• Confident delivering software demonstrations, presentations, workshops, and executive-level discussions.
• Experience selling multiple products or solution portfolios, ideally within compliance, governance, risk, productivity, or business software environments.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience managing negotiations, procurement processes, pricing discussions, and contract agreements.
• Ability to engage and build credibility with senior stakeholders across mid-market and enterprise organisations.
• Strong organisational skills with experience managing pipeline, sales forecasts, CRM data, and reporting accurately.
