What You Bring 

• 8–10+ years of experience in B2B sales 
• Proven experience selling professional services and consulting engagements 
• Demonstrated success acquiring net-new logos in complex, consultative sales environments 
• Full sales-cycle experience, including sourcing, qualification, negotiation, and close 
• Track record of selling to executive and C-suite stakeholders 
• Experience selling data, analytics, technology, or GenAI consulting services strongly preferred 
• Polished, credible executive presence and communication style 
• Strong collaboration skills with leadership, technical, and delivery teams
