• Drive strategic account development: Identify and prioritize high-potential enterprise accounts, develop comprehensive account penetration strategies, and proactively build a sustainable pipeline of strategic opportunities.

• Lead complex sales engagements: Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving C-level executives, procurement teams, IT leadership, and business decision-makers, aligning diverse interests to drive successful outcomes.

• Build executive-level relationships: Establish and maintain trusted relationships with senior business and technology leaders, positioning VTEX as a strategic partner in their digital commerce transformation.

• Shape commercial strategies and negotiations: Independently develop business cases, pricing approaches, and commercial proposals for complex enterprise opportunities, balancing customer needs, competitive dynamics, profitability, and VTEX's long-term business objectives.

• Influence strategic business decisions: Lead consultative discussions with executive stakeholders, challenge existing assumptions, and articulate the financial, operational, and strategic value of VTEX's solutions.

• Navigate competitive and complex environments: Develop differentiated positioning strategies against major enterprise commerce platforms, addressing sophisticated technical, financial, and organizational challenges.

• Orchestrate cross-functional teams: Align with Solution Engineers, Commerce Engineers, Solution Architects, Marketing, and Global teams to build compelling solutions and advance strategic opportunities.

• Contribute to market strategy: Provide market intelligence, competitive insights, and customer feedback to influence VTEX's commercial priorities, go-to-market initiatives, and enterprise positioning in Mexico.

• Own revenue performance and forecasting: Take full accountability for ambitious individual revenue targets, strategic pipeline development, deal progression, and accurate forecasting, proactively identifying risks and defining mitigation strategies.

• Elevate sales excellence: Share expertise, best practices, and strategic insights with peers, contributing to the development of stronger enterprise sales capabilities across the organization.
