Overview This is a remote‑first position, ideal for a senior sales professional with experience navigating complex, consultative sales cycles within large organizations. In this role you will be responsible for identifying and securing new enterprise accounts, expanding relationships within existing customers, and positioning Solace as a critical enabler of both traditional event‑driven architecture (EDA) and next‑generation AI‑driven initiatives.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence, real‑time data movement has become a foundational requirement. Solace plays a key role in helping enterprises modernize their integration strategy to support AI workloads—by ensuring that data is delivered securely, efficiently, and in real‑time across distributed systems. You will work closely with technical stakeholders and executive decision‑makers to demonstrate how Solace’s platform can serve as the backbone for modern AI‑ready infrastructure.

In This Role Be responsible for establishing, cultivating, and improving Solace’s relationship with clients. Identify new business opportunities within both new and existing clients, and lead the sales process from start to finish. Develop and execute territory and account plans that address short‑term and strategic goals, including pipeline building, revenue attainment, profit margin, client wallet share, and customer satisfaction.

Be a “hunter” and a self‑starter who works independently, while also being a strong team player capable of collaborating widely and building deep relationships with pre‑sales engineers and others.
