THE OPPORTUNITY

CONTEXT:

Our Americas Sales team is dedicated to driving new business and expansion across Ivaluas AI-native Source-to-Pay (S2P) platform with large, complex enterprise customers.

With strong growth across US Central, US West and Canada and an expanding portfolio of strategic accounts, the regional team needs to keep growing to satisfy demanding C-level buyers and ambitious revenue targets. In this context of fast growth and continued innovation (including our AI-native IVA Studio), we are hiring a Regional Vice President (RVP) of Sales to lead and scale the sales organization across these territories.

ROLE:

Here at Ivalua, we are currently looking for a Regional Vice President, Sales US Central, West and Canada.

Reporting to the VP, Sales North America, you will own the go-to-market and revenue strategy for your region, leading a team of enterprise Account Executives and working in close partnership with Solution Consulting, Services, Customer Success, Marketing, Sales Operations, and SI Partners.

You will be responsible for delivering new and expansion ARR, leading complex long-cycle enterprise deals (high six- and seven-figure), and positioning Ivaluas AI-native platform as a strategic lever for margin protection and supply chain resilience with C-suite stakeholders (CPO, CIO, CFO).

WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH US

• Own and exceed regional ARR and growth targets by leading a team that consistently closes $400k+ average ARR deals and high six-/seven-figure enterprise contracts.
• Drive disciplined enterprise sales execution for 918-month, multi-stakeholder cycles, including rigorous qualification, accurate forecasting across at least two quarters, and strong engagement with CPOs, CIOs and SI Partners.
• Lead the transition from feature/function selling to value- and consumption-based selling, especially for AI-native use cases (e.g., automated intake, real-time contract risk mitigation, generative supplier negotiations, autonomous sourcing).
• Confidently support your team in executive-level discussions on AI data privacy, LLM security, and integration with backend ERPs (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion), ensuring Ivalua is seen as a safe, strategic AI layer over existing landscapes.
• Partner closely with Customer Success and Account Management to align bookings with value realization, driving adoption, expansion, and sophisticated/hybrid commercial constructs (subscription + usage/consumption-based tiers).
• Build a high-performing, collaborative culture that fits Ivaluas values: hiring and developing top enterprise sales talent, fostering strong cross-functional alignment (SC, Services, VE, CS, SAMs, Marketing, SalesOps), and owning the regional business in a matrixed environment.

YOUR PROFILE

If you have the below experience and strengths this role could be for you:

Skills and Experience:

• Bachelors degree in Business, Management, or a related field preferred, with 10+ years of enterprise B2B software sales experience, including 5+ years in front-line or second-line leadership; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Proven track record as a deal-maker leader, managing teams that consistently close $400k+ average ARR deals and high six- or seven-figure contracts with large enterprises.
• Significant experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles of 918 months, selling to CPOs, CIOs and other C-suite executives, ideally in Procurement (Source-to-Pay), Supply Chain, ERP or adjacent complex enterprise platforms (e.g., Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday, Icertis, ServiceNow).
• Demonstrated ability to maintain deal momentum, remove stall points, and forecast accurately over at least two quarters (current quarter and CQ+1), using structured sales methodologies .
• Strong AI and product acumen: experienced in leading teams that sell AI-enabled capabilities through value and business outcomes rather than pure features; able to articulate AI-driven use cases such as automated intake, risk mitigation, and autonomous sourcing.
• High technical literacy (without being an engineer): confident in enterprise architecture discussions on AI data privacy, LLM security, and integration with legacy ERPs (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion) and other enterprise systems.
• Proven success leading in a matrixed, global environment, working through influence with Solutions (SC/Services/VE), Customer Success, SAMs, Partners, and Sales Operations to drive outcomes without direct authority over all functions.

Soft Skills :

• Executive presence and gravitas: able to quickly build trust and credibility with C-suite stakeholders (CPO, CIO, CFO), positioning Ivalua as a strategic lever for margin protection, ESG and supply chain resilience rather than a tactical software line item.
• Strategic, analytical and disciplined: comfortable operating with rigorous qualification, >https://www.comparably.com/companies/ivalua) :
