Objectives - The problems you will solve

In your first month, you will onboard, get hands-on with our product, become fluent in our industry, get up to speed with systems, get introduced to your customers, and understand your customer buying centers and use cases:

• Learn our product by getting certified with our SpotMe Academy and by embedding yourself in a virtual event project, an onsite event project, by building your own demo event and by joining an in-person business review.

• Become fluent with our industry personas, competitors, and our industry use cases by embedding yourself in customer projects and presentations.

• Master our sales processes, sales materials, and systems (Salesforce, Google Suite, PowerPoint, Zoom, Gainsight, Gong) to be able to manage a sales lifecycle from customer request to contract expansion deals autonomously; successfully conduct an expansion mock scoping & demo call with sales leadership and pass your sales certification.

• Get introduced to all customers in your portfolio and secure face time with 80% of them.

After 3 months, you have completed your phase 1 account research and planning, and kicked off on account plans including renewal strategy, budget insertion and revenue & usage growth; leading indicators (usage and number of opportunities) are improving after 2 quarters with 2 expansion levers unlocked for each account.

After 12 months, you will have further executed your account plans and achieved an aggregate 20% YoY revenue growth on your portfolio through services and/or software expansion.

What you need to be great at:

• Account leadership: You are above all a true account leader in B2B SaaS or services/consulting - you have managed large accounts ($200K-$2M) in large companies (>500 employees) over time, and you are able to truly understand the decision-making process and buying centers, and establish and nurture relationships with key people to expand scope and volume. You know what it means to operate a global, large-scale account in a first-class fashion.

• Industry expertise with business orientation: You bring SaaS experience selling into critical industries - pharma, financial services, professional services, or tech - with demonstrated experience working with the most demanding customers. Above all, you have a flair for spotting pain points, helping customers form business cases, and guiding them towards execution. Pharma HCP engagement expertise, with all its nuances (medical, commercial, marketing), is a plus but not a must.

• Autonomy and resourcefulness: You make decisions with confidence and don't wait to be told what to do. When you hit a wall, you find a way around it - you are scrappy, creative, and solution-oriented by nature. You move fast and act proactively, even when there is no immediate commercial upside.

• Commercial sharpness: You run numbers quickly, think several steps ahead in negotiations, and understand what truly drives your customers' business. You can build a solid business case that holds up in front of a C-suite or procurement team, and you are comfortable making decisions and forming working hypotheses even when you don't have all the facts.

SpotMe recruits, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, parental status, or veteran status.
