You’ll bring deep enterprise sales expertise, a strong grasp of forecasting and pipeline discipline, and the leadership presence to influence at the C-suite level. This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned sales professional who thrives on complexity, strategy, and delivering measurable impact.

• Own and expand strategic enterprise accounts — identifying new business opportunities, building executive relationships, and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
• Deliver accurate forecasting and pipeline management, providing visibility into key performance metrics and ensuring consistent achievement of revenue goals.
• Develop a deep understanding of Tricentis’ platform, aligning our solutions to the strategic business and technical objectives of global enterprises.
• Partner closely with Pre-Sales, Customer Growth, and Marketing to drive account strategy, maximize customer value, and ensure long-term success.
• Engage with C-level and senior IT decision-makers, influencing enterprise transformation and adoption of Tricentis solutions.
• Mentor and collaborate with peers to elevate sales excellence across the team, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and growth.
• Provide strategic feedback and market insights to shape Tricentis’ go-to-market strategy and support scalable success across the organization.

• 10+ years experience in software sales, with 5+ years of enterprise SaaS experience.
• Expertise with solution-selling to IT personas at large enterprise companies.
• Proven record of exceeding quotas and managing long, complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders.
• Work experience in forecasting and pipeline management discipline, with a data-driven approach to revenue predictability and execution.
• Demonstrable experience and appreciation for sales methodologies e.g. MEDDPICC.
• Ability to articulate and translate complex technical solutions into business value.
• Experience with CRM and sales enablement tools (e.g., Salesforce, Clari, Outreach).

• Coachable:
  You show self awareness and growth mindset by seeking feedback and continually refining your approach.
• Gritty:
  You persevere through challenges, adapt quickly, and maintain focus and motivation under pressure.
• Driven for Results:
  You set ambitious goals, take ownership of outcomes, and balance both tactical precision and strategic execution.
• Scrappy:
  You’re resourceful, creative, and find ways to win — no matter the constraints, challenging the status quo, while thinking holistically about scale and impact.
• Collaborative:
  You thrive in a team environment and celebrate shared success, solving problems in collaboration with others that benefit both us and our customers.

At Tricentis, we strive for success while inspiring those around us by knowing what we need to achieve and how we’ll achieve it.
