• 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience, with at least 3 years in a field, territory, or outside-sales function.
• Understanding of the multifamily industry and experience selling into regional/national portfolios is highly preferred.
• Experience selling SaaS or AI products, with the ability to articulate value, drive adoption, and simplify complex solutions.
• Proven success hitting and exceeding quota in a high-activity, pipeline-driven environment.

• Detail-oriented, competitive, proactive, and able to operate with an “own your business” mindset.
• Experience with Salesforce is a plus, as is the ability to learn our proprietary tools and tech quickly.
• A systematic, disciplined sales approach - you know how to build pipeline, run a structured sales process, and close new business.
