You'll be responsible for growing existing customer relationships, developing new business opportunities, and managing your territory with a high degree of autonomy, strategic thinking, and sound commercial judgment.

The Day-to-Day:

• Build trusted, long-term relationships with business and technical stakeholders to increase revenue.
• Maintain regular customer engagement to understand evolving business objectives, technical initiatives, and future product development.
• Successfully retain existing business through proactive account management and timely license renewals.
• Negotiate pricing, licensing, renewals, and commercial terms while balancing customer satisfaction with company objectives.

Consultative Commercial Selling

• Conduct thoughtful discovery conversations that uncover business objectives, technical environments, and application requirements.
• Listen beyond the customer's stated request to understand the underlying business need.
• Recommend FairCom software and licensing solutions that best support customer objectives.
• Recognize opportunities to expand existing relationships through additional products, applications, business units, or new projects.
• Build credibility by understanding each customer's business, products, and technical environment.

Business Development

• Research industries, companies, and applications where FairCom technology can provide value.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities through thoughtful outreach and relationship development.
• Qualify prospective customers through meaningful discovery conversations rather than scripted sales approaches.

Learn the Market

• Continuously learn about customer applications, emerging technologies, and industry trends.
• Identify patterns across customers and industries, bringing ideas from one application or market to create opportunities in another.
• Continuously strengthen both technical and commercial knowledge to improve customer conversations and business outcomes.

Requirements

• Strong intellectual curiosity and a genuine desire to understand customer applications, technologies, and business objectives.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct consultative discovery and translate technical and business challenges into commercial solutions.
• Strong commercial judgment and confidence negotiating software licensing, pricing, and commercial terms.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to independently manage multiple opportunities across all stages of the sales cycle.
• A self-motivated, accountable work style with minimal day-to-day supervision.

Position Preferences

• Experience working with OEMs, ISVs, embedded systems, industrial software, or other product-focused software companies.
• Familiarity with software licensing models, including OEM, royalty, subscription, and perpetual licensing.
