What You'll Do:
- Own the full sales cycle for new logos—from prospecting and qualifying through discovery, evaluation, negotiation, and close.
- Generate pipeline by blending inbound signals (OSS adoption, PQLs, self-serve Cloud users) with creative outbound; use Prefect’s brand awareness and market momentum to create new lead generation playbooks and channels; maintain ≥3× pipeline coverage quarter over quarter.
- Run technical evaluations with Sales Engineers, setting success criteria, designing evaluation plans, and ensuring clear roles and responsibilities in every deal.
- Deliver crisp handoffs to Solutions Engineers and CSMs after close, sharing goals, architecture notes, and risks to set customers up for adoption, renewals, and expansion.
- Operate with rigor: maintain stage exit criteria, deliver accurate forecasts, keep CRM notes clean, and run disciplined close plans.
- Share market insights with Product and Sales leadership to inform roadmap and GTM; contribute repeatable positioning, talk tracks, and case studies.
Your Qualifications:
- 2–10+ years in full-cycle AE roles at developer-tool, data-infra, or OSS companies with consistent 100%+ attainment and net-new logo wins
- Proven success closing $50k–$250k ACV deals, including designing/running technical evaluations, org mapping, and multi-threading in account.
- Comfortable partnering with Sales Engineers pre-sale and handing off to Solutions Engineers + CSMs post-sale in a triad model.
- Strength in product-led sales environments: converting PQLs, OSS adopters, and self-serve users into paying customers and early expansions.
- High EQ and strong collaboration skills: able to navigate technical and executive audiences, build trust quickly, and write clearly.
- Startup-ready: thrives in a “low O₂” environment with light process, high ambiguity, and a builder’s mindset.
