• Manage the complete enterprise sales cycle, including prospecting, qualification, discovery, solution development, executive presentations, negotiations, forecasting, and close.
• Partner closely with Oracle Cloud Engineering, Solution Engineering, AI Specialists, Customer Success, Consulting, Marketing, and executive leadership throughout the sales process.
• Maintain an accurate forecast and healthy pipeline using Oracle sales methodologies and CRM tools.
• Travel as needed to support customer engagement and territory development.
