You'll own the pipeline from first conversation to closed deal, working closely with the senior team on larger opportunities while running smaller and mid-sized deals independently. The sales cycle is longer (6-12 months), so this suits someone who knows how to nurture relationships, stay consistent, and play the long game without losing their edge.
