* Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasting, and activity data in Salesforce and other tools to meet quarterly new business quotas.
Customer Retention & Expansion (approximately 30-40%)

* Partner closely with Customer Success, Solution Consulting, Security, and Legal teams throughout complex post-sale and renewal cycles.
You have:
* 5-7+ years of quota-carrying, closing sales experience with a focus on new and expansion-driven revenue targets (experience may be higher for more senior/lead-leveled roles).
* Proven experience in SaaS sales, ideally within HR Tech or a related technology field.
* Strong ability to identify and self-source both new and expansion opportunities using innovative, proactive strategies.
* Exceptional executive presence with polished presentation and communication skills, particularly when engaging VP and C-suite executives.
