Job Description

• Own the full sales cycle for net-new logos in your assigned Mid-market territory — from prospecting to discovery, solution design, negotiation, and close. • Proactively identify, qualify, and engage prospects, building a strong and healthy pipeline. • Develop and present compelling value propositions tailored to customer needs and business outcomes. • Partner with Solutions Engineers and Services teams to design effective solutions and ensure a seamless transition post-sale. • Drive the use of strategic sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC) to build and develop a deal structure, forecast accurately, and close with confidence. • Build and nurture relationships with C-level and senior stakeholders to establish trust and credibility. • Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, business development, and channel teams to maximize your territory potential. • Stay informed about Confluent’s offerings and the broader data infrastructure landscape. • Travel as needed to engage customers and progress deals.

Job Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in quota-carrying B2B sales, with a strong focus on net-new prospect acquisition.
  • Demonstrated success in a consultative, solution-selling environment within tech — ideally in SaaS, cloud, big data, or open-source.
  • Experience applying structured sales methodologies (MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN, etc.).
  • Track record of meeting or exceeding quota in fast-paced, competitive markets.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills — written, verbal, and visual — with an ability to influence at all levels.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills; able to balance multiple priorities across complex deals.
  • A team-first mindset, high integrity, and eagerness to contribute to a supportive and inclusive culture.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites as required.
