- Close six and seven figure deals with discipline around deal qualification, mutual success plans, and forecasting accuracy
- Partner with Customer Success to ensure seamless handoffs and identify expansion opportunities within installed accounts
- Leverage AI-native tools and workflows to accelerate research, personalize outreach, build business cases, and manage your pipeline with precision
- Represent the voice of the enterprise customer internally, contributing product feedback and market intelligence to help shape Otter roadmap priorities

- Documented history of closing multiple six-figure deals and at least one seven-figure transaction in a competitive market
- Track record of building and sourcing your own pipeline, not just working inbound leads or SDR handoffs
- Experience with complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving security, legal, procurement, and executive approval
- Outbound-first mentality with strong prospecting instincts and the ability to break into cold accounts through creative, personalized approaches
- AI-native and comfortable using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar to accelerate research, improve messaging, and increase selling velocity
- Strong account planning capability, including the ability to build territory maps, stakeholder influence maps, and multi-quarter engagement plans
- Exceptional written and verbal communication with the executive presence to hold room with senior buyers
- Collaborative operator who works well with SDRs, SEs, CS, and leadership without needing to be managed
- Disciplined forecaster with intellectual honesty about deal stage and close probability
- Prior experience selling AI, productivity, collaboration, or knowledge management software
- Experience in a high-growth startup environment where process was still being built
- Familiarity with MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, or a similar enterprise qualification methodology
