- Full-time
- Compensation: USD 130000 - USD 300000 - yearly
Company Description
This is a hybrid role in King of Prussia, PA, three days a week.
ARE YOU READY TO HUNT AND CLOSE ENTERPRISE DEALS AND HELP BUILD A CATEGORY-DEFINING AI COMPANY?
Our client builds the enterprise connections that keep our cities running and the world operating without interruption.
THIS IS A CHANCE TO BE PART OF A WORLD-CLASS SALES ORGANIZATION THAT HAS CLOSED DEALS WITH LEADING FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES in banking, telecom, retail, and managed service providers. This position offers a low quota with the opportunity to blow it out of the water and make outsized income with aggressive accelerators. Sellers have a $250K quota and are pacing $1.5M in sales.
The office matters because this high-performance and driven culture is intensely focused on performance, learning and growing, winning accounts, and earning.
Who This Is NOT For:
Anyone who cannot open doors and close $250K+ deals with Fortune 500s.
Anyone who isn't excited about growing into the seller they know they can be.
Someone who needs inbound leads and business development to hand them opportunities.
Someone who needs a Solutions Engineer for business process acumen.
This is an exciting, high-performance startup environment filled with smart, world-class people building something meaningful together. The collaboration and energy of the team are a huge part of what makes this company special and a great place to work.
We are looking for a true enterprise hunter. The ideal candidate operates with a challenger sales mentality.
We are specifically looking for someone who knows how to lead enterprise sales conversations rather than simply react to them, someone who is comfortable teaching prospects, challenging assumptions, pushing back when needed, creating urgency, and confidently guiding buyers through complex enterprise sales cycles.
This is not a role for passive relationship management or transactional selling. This is not a role for someone who manages inbound leads, sits back waiting for opportunities, or acts as a relationship-only account manager.
Company Overview

The largest Fortune 500 brands trust their platform across telecom, retail, and essential services (Telus, Kroger, 7-Eleven, AT&T, US Bank, etc.), and their partner ecosystem includes Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Cognizant.
