Key Responsibilities
Manage the end‑to‑end sales cycle within your assigned regional territory – from pipeline creation to contract close.
Execute proactive prospecting and account‑based strategies alongside your collaborative BDR Pod, ensuring consistent pipeline coverage.
Deliver compelling, insight‑led product demonstrations that connect Sage Intacct’s value to the customer’s financial and operational challenges.
