About You
You’re a confident, consultative salesperson who thrives on winning new business. You enjoy building relationships from scratch, opening doors, and guiding prospects through a clear, structured sales journey.
You’re comfortable speaking with senior leaders across finance, operations, payroll, and field leadership, and you know how to ask smart questions that uncover operational inefficiencies, compliance risks, reporting gaps, and growth opportunities. You don’t just sell software — you translate complexity into meaningful business value.
You take ownership of your territory, build pipeline proactively, and stay disciplined in how you qualify and forecast opportunities. You’re energized by competitive markets and motivated by closing high-value, multi-stakeholder SaaS deals.
You understand the construction landscape — or you’re excited to deepen your expertise in it — and you’re driven by helping organizations operate in a more connected, scalable, and profitable way.
Day to Day You Will

Build and advance a healthy pipeline through outbound activity, industry presence, referrals, executive networking, and disciplined territory planning.
Lead structured discovery conversations across finance and operational stakeholders, translating workflow complexity into compelling value narratives and business cases.
Navigate multi-functional buying committees and close six- and seven-figure SaaS agreements using a formal sales methodology (e.g., MEDDICC, Challenger, or similar).
Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene in Salesforce while partnering cross-functionally with Solutions Consulting, Professional Services, and leadership to drive successful deal outcomes.

Preferred

Exposure to project accounting, service management, union payroll, or contractor-specific workflows.
Formal training in a sales methodology such as MEDDICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message.
