- Deliver compelling product demonstrations and business cases to multiple stakeholders, including senior decision-makers
- Consistently meet or exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets
- Manage a multi-product sales motion across Skillko, DoneSafe, and HandsHQ
- Build and maintain strong relationships, with a small focus on land-and-expand opportunities post-sale
- Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and activity tracking in Salesforce
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to drive deal success and customer outcomes
- Travel (~10%) for industry events, conferences, and occasional in-person meetings to support pipeline generation and relationship building
- Stay ahead of industry trends and competitive landscape to position solutions effectively
- 5+ years of quota-carrying SaaS sales experience
- Proven track record of consistently exceeding new business targets
- Strong experience in full-cycle sales (prospecting through close)
- Demonstrated ability to manage both inbound and outbound pipelines
- Skilled in consultative/value-based selling (MEDDIC, Challenger, SPIN, etc.)
- Confident communicator with the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders
- Highly self-motivated, resilient, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, growth environment
- Familiarity with Salesforce and modern sales tools (e.g., Outreach, Gong, ZoomInfo)
- Experience selling into UK or Irish markets
Nice to have:
- Experience selling multiple SaaS products or solutions
- Experience in EHS, compliance, construction, or workforce management industries
- Opportunity to sell a multi-product SaaS portfolio with strong market relevance
