Regional Sales Manager, New Business

We're looking for a Regional Sales Manager, New Business This role is Remote, United Arab Emirates This role is available for remote working only in the United Arab Emirates. Role Summary This is a pure net-new business role: the mandate is to bring in new logos within an assigned territory or vertical. Success is measured on new bookings — pipeline generated, opportunities created, and deals closed with organizations that are not currently Cornerstone customers. The sales motion is two fold.Firstly, it draws on a consultative, technically embedded selling style, workingshoulder-to-shoulder with counterparts to scope, prototype, and de-risk the solution during the sales cycle itself. Second, it follows a more traditional SaaS sales motion. The goal is to walk into a signed deal with a working proof-of-concept and a shared understanding of scope. Key Responsibilities Consultative Discovery & Technical Partnership • Gain a deep understanding of a prospect's actual workflows and data before proposing a outcome orientated solution • Partner with a technical counterpart early in the cycle to prototype or configure a working proof-of-concept against the prospect's real use case • Treat the sales cycle as a joint scoping exercise with the prospect's own stakeholders: co-develop the solution design with their HR/IT team so that what gets sold is what actually gets built • Feed field learnings back to Product and Solutions Engineering to highlight patterns across prospects about what's missing, what's confusing, or what unlocks a deal • Bring a "builder" mindset to the sales process • Own the handoff so that what Solutions Engineering/Implementation inherits is a well-scoped, de-risked project New Business Development & Prospecting • Identify, prospect, and qualify new enterprise-level opportunities within an assigned territory or vertical • Build and manage a pipeline of net-new logos from self-sourced outbound efforts and marketing-generated leads • Research target accounts to understand their current landscape and likely pain points • Evangelize new use cases and approaches for skills intelligence within large target organizations that aren't yet Cornerstone customers Full-Cycle Sales Execution • Own the complete sales cycle end-to-end: prospecting, discovery, solution positioning, demo, proposal, negotiation, and close • Translate product functionality into concrete business value for HR and business stakeholders who are evaluating Cornerstone for the first time • Take a consultative approach to diagnosing a prospect's talent strategy and proposing a tailored solution, not just selling against a feature list • Consistently meet or exceed new-business quota and revenue targets Deal Support & Technical Handoff • Partner with Solutions Consulting / embedded technical resources from first discovery call through close • Ensure the proof-of-concept or prototype built during the sales cycle carries forward directly into implementation, minimizing rework and re-scoping post-signature • Collaborate with legal and deal desk to structure and finalize new-customer agreements • Stay engaged through early implementation kickoff to confirm what was scoped in the sales cycle matches what gets delivered Profile • Strong enterprise sales and complex deal leadership experience. Strong outbound prospecting, discovery, and closing skills; comfort building pipeline largely from scratch • Experience selling to and presenting in front of VP and C-level executives at organizations with no prior relationship to the company • A "figure it out together" mindset • Comfortable operating in a consultative, technically-embedded sales motion — able to sit in on solution scoping and configuration sessions alongside a technical partner and speak credibly about how the product would actually be built and deployed, not just what it does • Willingness to travel (typically 25–30%, primarily for prospect meetings, discovery workshops, and closing activity) • Ability to connect AI capabilities with business priorities and measurable value. • Credibility with senior customer stakeholders. • Strong knowledge of Cornerstone’s platform, skills strategy and AI portfolio. • Ability to lead virtual teams without direct authority. • Comfortable working across sales, product, services and customer success.
