• Navigate multi-stakeholder buying groups, including administrators, program directors, finance, and IT

• Lead consultative sales motions with strong discovery, value articulation, and solution alignment

• Build and manage a healthy pipeline with accurate forecasting and strong stage discipline

• Coordinate all aspects of the sales process, including discovery, demos, proposals, and contract negotiation
