This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking for a role where you can make an impact not just on the company you work for but also on the market you work in. Fascinating and challenging work is the norm - working at Elliptic is never boring! What you will do: * Run the full enterprise sales cycle, from pipeline generation to deal closure, across a territory with massive potential and that has considerable inbound interest. * Proactively identify, engage, and convert strategic enterprise accounts (including pre-defined targets and new prospects). * Develop and execute multi-threaded sales strategies to engage diverse stakeholders (compliance, legal, risk, procurement, tech, C-level). * Handle 5-, 6- and 7-figure deal cycles with skill, creativity, and precision leveraging persuasion, influence, and value based selling techniques. * Drive account expansion through timely up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, maximizing value delivered to our customers. * Partner with global peers to collaborate on multi-region and strategic global accounts with long-term growth potential. * Collaborate with internal sales engineers, product experts, customer success, and marketing, as well as partner channels, to expand your reach and velocity. * Stay ahead of industry shifts and translate emerging challenges into opportunities for Elliptic’s solution suite. * Represent Elliptic at key industry events and conferences to strengthen relationships and identify new prospects. * Be an ambassador of the Elliptic brand, living our values of curiosity, trust, and action in every interaction.
