Solace Corporation

Harnessing the Power of Data, Together.

The world’s leading enterprises are using Solace’s event streaming and management platform to transform their organizations by harnessing the power of events.

The more quickly an enterprise can get information about events to where it needs to be, the more effectively a business can react to opportunities and improve the customer experience. That’s where an event broker (modern messaging-oriented-middleware) comes in.

Help Us, Help Them, Help You.
By joining our first-class team, you will be helping leading enterprises, including common household brands we all know and love, reach their full potential in this real-time, digital world.

The next time you drive a luxury vehicle, do some online banking, fly in a plane, or order some furniture online, you could be getting a better experience as a direct result of our technology, and your hard work. Wouldn’t that be great!?

 

Overview

Sales Directors, are responsible for establishing, cultivating, and improving Solace’s relationship with clients. They identify new business opportunities to grow with both new clients, and within existing clients – and they lead the sales process from start to finish.

 

Our Sales Directors develop and execute territory and account plans, that address short-term and strategic goals which include pipeline build, revenue attainment, profit margin, client wallet share, and customer satisfaction.

 

They are “hunters” and must be self starters who are able to work independently. At the same time, they must be strong team players — capable of collaborating widely and building a deep relationship with their pre-sales engineer(s) and others.
