What You’ll Do

This is an entry-level to early-career sales role designed as a launchpad into full-cycle cloud sales. You will act as a Customer Acquisition Representative focused on accelerating pipeline, qualifying opportunities, and helping customers evaluate and adopt cloud solutions.

• Drive net-new customer acquisition through one-to-one and one-to-many outreach (cold calls, social selling, email sequences).
• Expand usage and consumption within assigned accounts via disciplined territory and account planning.
• Meet activity and output goals: contacts sourced, leads qualified, calls completed, meetings scheduled, and opportunities created.
• Use AI-powered sales intelligence, predictive analytics, and CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) to prioritize outreach and optimize pipeline.
• Continuously test next-generation engagement strategies using generative AI and personalization engines.
• Share learnings with teammates and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
