About the Company
An award-winning North American Microsoft partner specializing in cloud and DevOps consulting services is expanding its U.S. commercial team. As an early, foundational sales hire reporting directly to the President, you will own a direct-sales quota and help shape go-to-market strategy, sales practices, and an evolving AI-first modernization portfolio. This is a high-autonomy seat for a consultative seller who wants to build a territory, not simply inherit one.
Key responsibilities:
- Achieve a direct-sales quota for cloud and DevOps consulting services across your assigned U.S. territory, generating new-logo and expansion revenue.
- Lead senior- and executive-level discovery on customers’ cloud strategy, adoption, and DevOps objectives, then author and present tailored, outcome-based proposals that close.
- Build and maintain co-sell relationships with Microsoft field and partner teams to source and progress pipeline.
- Own account management for existing customers, hitting retention and expansion targets.
- Contribute to business planning, sales strategy, and the evolution of service offerings as an early commercial hire.
- Build repeatable sales practices and playbooks, and feed market intelligence into marketing and demand generation.
What you’ll need:
- 6+ years of quota-carrying sales experience in technology consulting or professional services, with cloud, Azure, and/or DevOps engagements strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead senior- and executive-level (C-suite) discussions on cloud strategy, adoption, and DevOps transformation.
- Hands-on experience conceiving, writing, and presenting customer proposals end to end, without reliance on a proposal team or pre-built templates.
- Experience building technology partner and channel relationships and co-selling with platform-vendor field teams; direct Microsoft co-sell experience strongly preferred.
- Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites at least 10% of working time.
- Professional, near-native business English, spoken and written, given proposal authorship sits with this role. French is an asset, as the firm also serves Canadian customers.
Compensation and format:
Total compensation (base plus variable) is discussed openly during the first call, once your experience and expectations are clear. This is a field-based role working from a U.S. home office, anchored to the New York and Northeast territory, with roughly 10 percent or more travel to customer sites. The exact territory is confirmed early in the process.
