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 hiring a Strategic Account Manager to own and grow relationships with some of the largest global enterprises headquartered in the United States. These accounts are complex, multi-stakeholder organizations with global footprints, sophisticated buying committees, and long-term transformation initiatives. This role is designed for a true enterprise sales professional who thrives in high-stakes environments, embraces accountability, and has the persistence to manage long sales cycles while consistently driving outcomes.
More specifically, you will:
- Own and manage a portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts, serving as the primary point of accountability for strategy, pipeline, and outcomes across complex sales cycles involving Tax, Finance, IT, Procurement, Legal, and Executive leadership.
- Drive net-new growth, renewals, and expansions across Sovos' global compliance platform by developing and executing multi-year account strategies for large, global enterprises.
- Build compelling business cases tied to regulatory risk, cost avoidance, operational efficiency, and transformation outcomes, positioning Sovos as a strategic partner and translating regulatory complexity into clear executive-level value.
- Guide customers through evolving global mandates (e-invoicing, continuous transaction controls, digital reporting) while running structured discovery, qualification, and close plans aligned to enterprise sales best practices.
- Lead cross-functional teams across Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Product, Marketing, and Partners, aligning global partner ecosystems where appropriate (ERP, systems integrators, compliance partners).
- Leverage AI-powered tools and platforms to enhance account planning, pipeline management, and customer engagement while forecasting accurately and managing pipeline with rigor.
- Engage Sovos executives when needed to advance strategic opportunities and maintain momentum across long-cycle, high-value deals.
What You Bring to Sovos
- You have experience managing enterprise SaaS sales with complex, multi-product, multi-stakeholder deals involving large, global organizations, and you've met or exceeded sales targets.
- You're confident engaging with C-suite and VP-level leaders across Finance, Tax, and IT, and you can articulate value in business terms, not just product features.
- You bring strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, and you're comfortable managing ambiguity, long deal cycles, and senior-level negotiations with discipline and resilience.
- You're relentless about preparation, follow-through, and execution, treating your accounts with the strategic ownership of a CEO.
- Preferred: Experience in Tax Technology, ERP, Finance, Compliance, or Regulatory SaaS; familiarity with global ERP environments (SAP, Oracle, Workday); experience selling solutions with mission-critical or regulatory impact; comfort with AI-assisted workflows; multilingual abilities are a plus.
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire.
