At Sovos, we’re transforming how companies around the world manage tax compliance—helping half of the Fortune 500 and thousands more stay ahead in a complex, ever-changing global landscape.

If you’ve worked in the tax software space, you already understand the regulatory urgency and the mission-critical nature of our solutions. Tax compliance is not optional—it’s essential.

  • Design and execute strategic, account-based plans that grow revenue and improve client retention
  • Develop relationships with executive and C-level stakeholders to drive trust and long-term partnership
  • Consistently achieve new business growth by maintaining a strong, balanced pipeline
  • Take a consultative, value-driven approach to navigating complex enterprise sales
  • Stay informed about evolving tax regulations and emerging client challenges
  • Work closely with internal teams to ensure an exceptional, aligned customer experience
  • Provide accurate pipeline and forecasting insights to support planning and decision-making

 

What We Need From You

  • 10+ years of success selling SaaS or enterprise software to large, multinational companies.
  • Strong track record of hitting or exceeding revenue quotas and managing complex sales cycles.
  • A background in tax software or regulatory technology and a strong grasp of global compliance challenges
  • Experience presenting and selling to executive decision-makers, including the C-suite.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to translate insights into compelling business cases.
  • Energized by working across teams and navigating matrixed environments.
  • Willingness and ability to travel for client meetings, events, and team collaboration.
  • Proven expertise in prospecting, closing, and growing enterprise accounts.
  • A data-driven approach to customer outcomes and value realization.
  • High comfort level with digital sales tools and platforms.
  • Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
