Job Description
The Power of MuleSoft & Informatica: Fueling the Agentic Enterprise
AI agents are actively reshaping how businesses automate decisions, orchestrate processes, and engage customers at scale. But AI agents are only as powerful as the data and integrations that fuel them. This is where MuleSoft and Informatica become mission-critical.

Drive complex, multi-million dollar deals with C-level executives
Define and execute Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy for your sector
Transform how enterprises leverage API management, integration platforms, and data connectivity

Required Experience
10+ years of enterprise B2B software sales experience in fast-paced, competitive market
Proven track record of exceeding quota targets in complex, high-stakes software sales roles
Demonstrated expertise in New Business acquisition and Greenfield territory development
Experience managing large, complex deals ($500K+ ACV, with exposure to $1M+ opportunities)

Ability to articulate business value of complex enterprise technology to both technical and executive audiences
Proven skill in building business and technical champions within large, matrixed organizations

Consultative sales approach grounded in customer success and integrity
Collaborative team spirit with "company-first" mentality
Ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles spanning multiple business units
Things We Love
Sales & Methodology Experience
Previous sales methodology training (MEDDIC, SPIN, Challenger Sales)
Familiarity with complex IT selling involving multiple stakeholders across global organizations
Understanding of enterprise architecture concepts, digital transformation, and cloud/hybrid integration patterns

Previous experience with MuleSoft, Informatica, or similar integration and data management platforms
