Requirements
- 6 - 10+ years selling enterprise software, with closed deals at six- and seven-figure ACV on multi-quarter cycles
- Full-cycle experience: you've built pipeline from scratch, run discovery, managed technical evaluations, and closed on your own
- A qualification framework you actually run, whether that's MEDDIC, SPICED, or one you built yourself
- Experience selling to manufacturers or industrial enterprises; you're comfortable on a plant floor and in a boardroom
- Working fluency in at least one of: telematics, fleet software, aftermarket and field service, predictive maintenance, enterprise data platforms
- Time at an early-stage company where the playbook didn't exist yet, and you were part of writing it
- Commercial maturity on pricing and margin, including when to hold firm on terms
- Clean CRM hygiene and a forecast people trust
Nice To Haves
- Existing relationships in material handling, construction equipment, specialty vehicles, or electrified systems
- You've converted a pilot into an enterprise agreement and can walk through how it happened
- Working fluency in at least one of: telematics, fleet software, aftermarket and field service, predictive maintenance, enterprise data platforms
- Comfort pricing data and AI platforms on value
Responsibilities
- Build your own pipeline from the 120-account named list: research the account, run outbound, book meetings with the ICP.
- Put sales automation and AI to work on prospecting, with sequences and account research that let one seller cover a list this size
- Leverage the Aerovy sales playbook & iterate upon it to move prospects through selling stages of discovery to technical validation to business case to signature
- Qualify hard and disqualify early. A short list of real deals beats a long list of maybes, and walking away from the wrong one protects the quarter
- Lead discovery that gets past the stated ask to the P&L underneath: downtime, warranty leakage, first-time fix rate, cost to serve
- Work with marketing to develop case studies and collateral that support the enterprise selling process
- Bring in the founders for technical validation and pilot scoping
- Keep pipeline and forecasts current in the CRM; your territory, your number
- Travel to customer sites for meetings
- Feed what you hear in the field back into positioning and the roadmap
- Write down what works so future AEs starts from your process
