What the job involves
- Our Account Executives target and close new business with some of today’s most innovative companies. In this role, you’ll both nurture inbound leads in your territory with marketing-led support as well as prospect into a target list of select accounts
- You will do this by driving opportunities through the entire sales cycle from pipeline generation to closure, employing a value-oriented sales methodology with a focus on use cases spanning customer data and marketing activation
- Close new logos and expand existing business within an assigned territory, meeting and exceeding sales goals through prospecting, qualifying, managing, and closing sales opportunities
- Leverage and coordinate cross-functional internal teams (Sales Development, Legal, Engineering, Security, Marketing, Product) to efficiently navigate complex sales cycles
- Maintain, build and own specific relationship maps for your territory, including existing relationships and aspirational contacts
- Lead compelling presentations of Prophecy’s product and vision to a broad range of audiences, from c-level executives to individual contributors
- Provide timely and accurate forecasts and clear visibility on sales and revenue performance by actively handling your pipeline of opportunities
- In your first 30 days, you will learn about Prophecy and will be able to pitch the product proficiently. We believe that it is necessary for you to build this foundation so you can successfully engage with existing accounts and grasp the sales strategy. Upon completion of your first month, you will have built cross-functional relationships and will have started building your strategy for account penetration
- After three months, you'll have a sound plan for account strategy and mapping. You have started building relationships with several leaders across your region and are beginning to understand their challenges and how Prophecy can help solve them
- After six months, you will have 3x your quota in the pipeline and will have at least 3-6 POCs in process
Our take
Some reports suggest that data engineers can spend as little as 20% of their time actually analysing data - the rest is spent on administrative tasks like data cleaning and organization. It’s an issue that legacy data management systems are struggling to help enterprises stay on top of, according to Prophecy.
Prophecy has developed a data engineering platform that offers a low-code environment that runs in parallel to the code editor, meaning both analysts and engineers can easily toggle back and forth and collaborate on projects. The company also offers a compiler to help companies move their data pipelines onto the cloud.
This means that Prophecy’s offering straddles two rapidly accelerating trends that could see the company win big business. Firstly, there's an increasing number of companies looking to migrate to the cloud without the astronomical costs and risks that doing so independently can bring. Secondly, the rise of low/no-code is driven by the high demand for (and general shortage of) developer talent. It’s helped the company onboard some key enterprise customers already, so with healthy funding under its belt, Prophecy is making confident first steps.
