Build pipeline through outbound:execute targeted outbound across email, LinkedIn, calls, partner ecosystems, and events; consistently create opportunities in your territory.
Sell credibly to technical stakeholders:run technical discovery on DevOps and cloud skill gaps; connect training outcomes to platform reliability, speed of delivery, security, and cost optimization.

Requirements
What We’re Looking For:
Experience: (3 to 5 years): 3 to 5 years of B2B SaaS sales experience as an AE (or senior SDR promoted into closing), with proven full-cycle ownership and a track record selling to SMBs and enterprises, and ideally exposure to education ecosystems (universities/institutions) and public sector/government departments (state and central).

Execution mindset:highly organized, independent, and outcome-driven. You follow up relentlessly and move deals forward with clear next steps.
Communication:crisp written and spoken communication, strong discovery skills, and executive presence.
