Who you are You are a commercially driven Account Executive with experience selling HCM SaaS solutions to frontline organisations. You understand the operational and people challenges faced by frontline and flexible workforces, and you know how to connect those challenges to meaningful business outcomes. You’re comfortable owning complex sales cycles end to end - from prospecting through to close, and engaging with multiple stakeholders including HR, Operations, Finance and executive leaders.
