- Develop and execute strategic account plans across complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise organisations.
- Lead complex, consultative enterprise sales cycles, ensuring strong qualification, deal strategy, and forecast accuracy.
- Create compelling executive narratives and business cases: ROI, operating model impact, phased transformation roadmap, and clear success criteria.
- Collaborate closely with the Solution Architecture team to scope outcomes, shape solution approaches, align on integration realities, and de-risk enterprise adoption
- Partner closely with founders/senior leadership on strategic deals: executive outreach, deal strategy, and high-stakes negotiations.
- Stay close to strategic accounts through the roll-out phase as an executive sponsor: ensure a crisp handover, maintain executive alignment, unblock risks, and identify expansion pathways with Customer Success / Onboarding.
- Act as a voice to the market: build a trusted network across hospitality leaders, ownership groups, consultants, and ecosystem partners; represent Apaleo in executive forums and industry moments to generate long-term opportunity flow and credibility.
- Feed structured market insights back into GTM and product direction: positioning, packaging, proof points, partner involvement, and enterprise playbooks.
