  • Contribute to U.S. GTM strategy - Share market insights and refine regional messaging to elevate Cognism’s position in the U.S. market.

*OUR EXPECTATIONS: *

  • 3+ years of quota-carrying SaaS or enterprise B2B sales experience, ideally managing deals that span multiple stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of new logo acquisition and account expansion, consistently exceeding performance targets.
  • Exceptional executive presence - Comfortable influencing C‑level stakeholders and driving consensus-based decisions.
