Overview

We are seeking a long-term oriented Net New Senior Sales Account
Executive
to drive enterprise new business across a highly strategic
territory in the West and Central regions. This role focuses on engaging,
educating, and converting top-tier commercial real estate owners and operators
as they evaluate mission-critical ERP platforms - decisions that shape their
organizations for years to come.

You will work directly with senior executives at some of the

    leadership), serving as a credible advisor throughout the evaluation and
    decision process.
  • Quota Ownership & Territory Strategy: Consistently
    meet or exceed annual sales targets by prioritizing high-impact opportunities,
    applying sound territory judgment, and allocating time and resources

    estate sector. Use this knowledge to identify new opportunities and adjust
    strategies as necessary.
