Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role
At Sovos, we're building a dedicated overlay sales team for our growing portfolio of AI-native offerings, spanning financial orchestration, compliance automation, and intelligent invoicing. You'll be one of the first sellers on this team, helping us define the playbook as we partner with account owners to identify and close AI-native opportunities across both existing accounts and new-logo pursuits. This is as much a category-creation role as it is a sales role, and what you build in your first year becomes the foundation we scale across the entire AI-native portfolio.
More Specifically, You Will
- Carry quota tied to opportunity progression from the point you're engaged through close, owning deal strategy across Finance, IT, Legal, and Procurement stakeholders.
- Build executive relationships and articulate ROI, payback period, and business outcomes with the rigour expected in any enterprise sale, navigating objections and driving opportunities to decision.
- Partner with core account owners and new-logo hunters to identify and position AI-native opportunities, working closely with your SE counterpart (you own the business case and close; they own technical configuration and demos).
- Educate prospects on why an AI-native approach to financial orchestration matters now, positioning solutions at both business and technical levels to help them understand the category, not just the product.
- Shape qualification criteria, positioning, and sales plays for the team going forward, bringing customer and market feedback back into how Sovos packages and scales its AI-native offerings.
- Represent the AI-native motion with professionalism and executive presence in customer meetings and boardroom settings, setting the commercial bar for how this motion scales across the portfolio.
- You've built a strong track record selling SaaS or financial technology into enterprise accounts, with demonstrated success closing six- to seven-figure ACV deals.
- You have experience selling AI/ML, data platforms, or workflow automation technologies, with the ability to position AI-native solutions at both business and technical levels.
- You bring deep financial acumen, able to quantify ROI, articulate payback periods, and drive financial outcomes with executive stakeholders.
- You have a strong command of enterprise sales methodology, including account planning, multi-threading, and disciplined forecasting, with comfort operating in an overlay model where you're brought into opportunities rather than owning the full account relationship.
- You're comfortable selling a fast-evolving product into enterprise organisations, building structure as you go rather than inheriting it, ideally with experience in finance transformation, ERP ecosystems, or regulated industries.
- Familiarity with structured sales frameworks such as MEDDICC or Command of the Message is preferred, as is experience selling into large, global organisations across multiple regions.
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire.
