Who you are

We are looking for a collaborator who balances deep commercial acumen with a humble, "team-first" mindset.

• The Experience: You have 5-10 years of proven track record in Enterprise Partner Management or Sales, ideally within a high-growth SaaS, Cloud, or DevOps organization.

• The Mindset: You are action-oriented and resilient, comfortable with the ambiguity of navigating complex enterprise deals and territory expansion.

• The Tools: You are tech-savvy and proficient in Salesforce and Clari, with a strong curiosity for leveraging AI to enhance engagement and productivity.

• The Communicator: You can translate complex architectural concepts into clear, actionable business plans for CxO stakeholders.

The "Ardoq Way"

We live by three values — Bold, Caring, and Driven — that define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we win.

• BOLD: We continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other, starting from a place of "what if I could?" We act decisively, even when the information isn't complete, and choose forward motion and learning over waiting for the perfect answer.

• CARING: We care enough to be candid. That means delivering direct, kind, and timely feedback that helps our teammates grow. We operate as one team — sharing knowledge openly, celebrating each other's wins, and putting collective success ahead of individual ones.

• DRIVEN: At Ardoq, everyone has a stake in the outcome — including stock options. We act like owners: measuring success by impact rather than effort, saying "no" to distractions, and staying focused on the highest-value work at pace.
