This role carries an individual new-business revenue target and reports to the Chief Revenue Officer. Key Responsibilities: Prospect, identify, and qualify net-new and current enterprise accounts across law firms, corporations, and government entities within an assigned territory.

Develop and deliver tailored value propositions, presentations, and proposals that address client business and legal challenges. Negotiate pricing, scope, and contract terms within approved commercial guidelines, defending value rather than discounting.

Experience managing complex, enterprise sales cycles (3–12+ months) involving multiple decision-makers across Procurement, IT, Privacy, and Legal. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce executive-level proposals and presentations. Proficiency with Salesforce or comparable CRM systems and modern sales tooling. Willingness to travel for client meetings and industry events.
