## Job Description

## What you will do
- Drive Revenue: Manage the full sales cycle for AI & Data Cloud, from initial discovery and technical scoping to closing deals.
- Technical Partnership: Collaborate extensively with Solutions Engineers (SEs), Professional Services, or Forward Deployed Engineers to bridge the gap between "vision" and "execution".

- Proven Upward Mobility: A clear track record of internal promotion (e.g., SDR to Sr. SDR to AE) at a single high-growth company. We value "builders" who stay to see the results of their work.
- High-Velocity Discipline: Experience in a fast-paced environment.
- Startup Fluency: Prior experience in a Series A–D startup environment where you were required to build your own playbooks rather than just follow existing ones.
