With an average deal size of circa $200k ARR, this role requires strong commercial acumen, strategic deal management, and the ability to engage multiple senior stakeholders across HR, Finance and IT.
You will prospect, initiate and nurture relationships to generate new business opportunities, own the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close, and lead compelling product demonstrations and commercial conversations. You'll proactively build pipeline through outbound activity, engage senior decision-makers to understand business priorities and buying readiness, manage forecasting and deal activity within Salesforce, and represent HiBob at industry events, conferences and partner engagements.
