  • Position Softeon as a strategic platform, not just a point solution, by tying outcomes to productivity, safety, engagement, and operational excellence
  • Build and maintain robust account plans, including stakeholder maps, opportunity strategies, and multi‑year growth plans
  • Collaborate closely with Solutions Consultants, Customer Success, Marketing, and Partners to ensure seamless execution and long‑term customer value
  • Maintain accurate CRM data, forecasting, and pipeline hygiene, contributing to predictable and transparent revenue execution

Preferred Experience

  • Exposure to WMS
  • Experience selling platforms related to operations, workforce enablement, digital transformation, or knowledge management
  • Comfort working in a matrixed, collaborative organization with shared ownership of outcomes
