  • Run complex, multi-threaded deals across technical, executive, and procurement stakeholders, often spanning long sales cycles and multi-year contracts.

  • Develop and execute account plans that land initial deals and expand them over time.

  • Partner closely with product and engineering to relay customer feedback and influence the roadmap.

  • Develop a deep understanding of Flow's platform and the technical workflows of our customers, including how AI agents support systems engineering.

  • Represent Flow at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings.

  • Collaborate with leadership to refine positioning, pricing, and go-to-market strategy.

  • 30 - 50% travel expected

About You

  • 5+ years of sales experience, including 3+ years of closing in B2B SaaS, ideally selling to technical or engineering buyers.

  • Track record of consistently hitting or exceeding quota on large, complex deals.

  • Experience navigating long, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles, including technical, executive, and procurement audiences.

  • Comfortable selling six and seven figure deals and managing formal procurement, security, and legal review.

  • Comfortable working in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment where you build process as you go.

  • Familiarity with engineering, PLM, or requirements management tools is a plus.
