About the Role

Spectro Cloud is seeking a seasoned Senior Strategic Account Executive to own and grow a strategic Midwest territory. This is a high-impact, new-logo-focused role for an experienced infrastructure seller who can create opportunities, navigate complex organizations, develop executive relationships, and close strategic deals. The ideal candidate will operate as the CEO of their territory, owning the go-to-market strategy and revenue success, building pipeline, and driving new-logo acquisition.

Responsibilities

Own the overall go-to-market strategy and revenue success of your region.
Develop and execute a strategic territory plan across named and target enterprise accounts.
Build pipeline through direct prospecting, executive relationships, marketing programs, channel partners, technology partners, and industry relationships.
Drive new-logo acquisition while identifying opportunities to expand across additional business units and lines of business.
Build relationships across multiple organizations within each account, including infrastructure, cloud, platform engineering, virtualization, AI, DevOps, application teams, security, finance, and executive leadership.
Establish relationships with CIOs, CTOs, Chief AI Officers, infrastructure executives, platform leaders, and other senior decision-makers.
Develop multiple champions within strategic accounts rather than relying on a single point of entry.
Create account strategies that expand Spectro Cloud's footprint across divisions, geographies, teams, and use cases.
Work closely with channel partners, VARs, systems integrators, cloud providers, OEMs, and technology alliances to develop and execute joint account strategies.
Recruit, enable, and activate the right partners within the territory.
Build joint pipeline with channel partners rather than treating the channel solely as a fulfillment mechanism.
Identify strategic regional events, partners, communities, and customer relationships that can help accelerate Spectro Cloud's market presence.
Serve as the voice of the region back to Sales, Marketing, Product, and executive leadership.
Proactively create pipeline within strategic enterprise accounts.
Maintain strong pipeline coverage for current and future quarters.
Develop executive relationships early in the sales process.
Run effective discovery across technical, operational, financial, and executive stakeholders.
Identify and develop multiple strong internal champions.
Establish access to the Economic Buyer.
Develop relationships across multiple buying centers and lines of business.
Navigate complex enterprise buying committees, procurement processes, and technical evaluations.
Connect technical capabilities to measurable business outcomes, TCO, risk reduction, operational efficiency, and infrastructure economics.
Use MEDDPICC and Mutual Action Plans to maintain control of complex opportunities.
Build compelling executive-level business cases.
Orchestrate internal Spectro Cloud resources and external partners around strategic opportunities.
Drive late-stage opportunities with urgency, accountability, and clear next steps.
Maintain disciplined forecasting and demonstrate complete command of your business.
Build strong relationships with strategic channel partners throughout the region.
Identify partners that can open doors into targeted enterprise accounts.
Develop joint GTM strategies and account plans with key partners.
Create and manage partner-generated pipeline.
Work with VARs, systems integrators, cloud providers, OEMs, and technology partners.
Help partners understand how Spectro Cloud fits into infrastructure modernization, Kubernetes, virtualization, GPU, and AI initiatives.
Coordinate partner, customer, and Spectro Cloud resources to accelerate strategic opportunities.
Hold partners accountable while making Spectro Cloud a company they want to bring into their most important accounts.

Requirements

10+ years of successful enterprise technology sales experience.
Proven success selling complex infrastructure technology into large enterprise organizations.
Consistent history of meeting or exceeding quota.
Strong new-logo acquisition experience.
Demonstrated ability to build a territory rather than simply manage an existing book of business.
