• Drive revenue growth through cross-selling, upselling, and landing new departments within existing customer organisations, maintaining strong pipeline discipline and accurate sales forecasting.
• Build and maintain strong, long-term customer relationships at all levels of the organisation, including executive stakeholders, demonstrating resilience and composure when navigating complex organisational dynamics or ambiguous stakeholder environments.
• Lead and collaborate with cross-functional internal teams, providing clear direction and coordination to Sales Engineering, Consulting, Customer Success, and Marketing colleagues in support of account objectives.

• Operate standard computer and keyboard equipment in a hybrid office and remote environment as required to fulfil the responsibilities of the role.
• Champion Smartsheet's values and contribute to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative team culture.
