Senior Sales Executive
About the role
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Sales Executive to help lead our growth in the US market. This is a quota-carrying role focused on closing high-value consulting deals and landing new logos with technical buyers. You’ll work closely with the Chief Business Officer and company leadership to identify ideal clients, originate opportunities, and convert high-trust relationships into strategic accounts.
You’ll be selling premium software engineering services to sophisticated buyers, not product-led transactional SaaS. That means deep discovery, solution shaping, and the ability to influence CTOs, VPEs, and Heads of Product across complex, multi-stakeholder environments. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to drive real commercial outcomes in a fast-moving, technically elite environment.
Responsibilities
- Originate and close new business with Fortune 500 and high-growth tech companies
- Build and manage a qualified pipeline that delivers against aggressive revenue targets
- Lead the full sales cycle from outbound to proposal to MSA close, supported by technical leadership
- Develop trusted relationships across engineering, product, and executive teams in client orgs
- Deeply understand client engineering needs and translate them into scoped opportunities
- Collaborate with internal teams to align delivery capabilities with client objectives
- Represent Janea externally at industry events, conferences, and executive networking forums
- Contribute feedback to refine GTM strategy, positioning, and ICP segmentation
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience selling, with at least 5 years of experience selling custom software engineering or high-end consulting services
- Proven ability to open, close, and grow enterprise accounts from scratch
- Strong understanding of the SDLC, engineering orgs, and how technical services are bought and scaled
- Experience negotiating MSAs and landing new logos in software-intensive verticals
- Deep network or book of business within the US technology ecosystem
- Excellent at navigating large orgs and building relationships across engineering, product, and procurement
- Confident, consultative communicator who can earn trust with C-level and technical leaders
- Self-starter with a high degree of ownership and a strong sense of commercial urgency
What Success Looks Like
- Within 90 days, you've qualified and advanced a healthy pipeline of credible opportunities, leveraging your network, referrals, Marketing-generated leads, and strategic introductions
- Within 6 months, you've closed multiple six-figure deals and are managing early-stage relationships with high-value clients
- By year one, you’ve met or exceeded your annual quota and built a strong foundation for repeatable, account-driven growth
