Are you energized by the challenge of opening new markets, educating sophisticated buyers, and helping organizations rethink how complex projects are defined, aligned, and delivered? Do you bring a strong background working with and advising key stakeholders across AEC, rail, transit, infrastructure delivery, public-sector transportation, or similarly complex engineering-led project environments? If you're excited by market expansion, new revenue creation, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by bringing a proven platform into a new market, we'd love to connect.

• Build qualified pipeline through targeted outbound prospecting, account research, referral development, events, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Educate prospective buyers on the value of requirements management, traceability, risk reduction, workflow alignment, and improved execution.
• Translate AEC, rail, transit, and infrastructure delivery challenges into clear business cases for stronger requirements management, traceability, systems engineering discipline, and cross-functional alignment.
• Lead consultative sales cycles with technical, operational, commercial, and executive stakeholders.
• Develop tailored account strategies that connect customer pain, business risk, operational complexity, and Jama's platform value.
• Maintain strong pipeline discipline, forecast accuracy, qualification rigor, and opportunity hygiene.
• Share market intelligence, buyer feedback, objections, and repeatable use cases to help strengthen Jama's AEC, Rail, and Infrastructure growth strategy.

What You'll Bring:

• Experience selling technical software, engineering workflow solutions, requirements management, systems engineering, PLM, ALM, QMS, digital thread, verification / validation, workflow automation, or other complex enterprise platforms.
• Demonstrated success selling into AEC, rail, transit, infrastructure delivery, EPC, capital projects, public-sector infrastructure, transportation agencies, or complex product engineering environments.
• Experience educating buyers on technology value in markets where the business problem is real, but the solution category may not yet be fully understood, budgeted, or prioritized.
• Strong discovery skills, including the ability to uncover operational pain, business risk, process gaps, stakeholder misalignment, technical complexity, or execution challenges.
• Ability to build a compelling business case and create urgency with technical, operational, financial, and executive stakeholders.
• Familiarity with consultative sales methodologies such as MEDDICC, Challenger, SPIN, Command of the Message, or similar frameworks.
• Strong presentation, communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Comfort selling in a remote-first environment, including virtual discovery, product conversations, stakeholder alignment, and executive conversations.
• Strong territory planning, account prioritization, qualification, forecasting, and pipeline management discipline.
• Ability to rapidly learn, synthesize, and apply new technical, market, and customer information across evolving sales contexts.
