• Create pipeline through outbound prospecting, executive mapping, inbound follow-up, partner referrals, and your own network.
• Partner closely with Sales Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to deliver high-quality evaluations and ensure customers realize value quickly.

• Energized by technical products and able to hold credible conversations with senior engineers, platform leaders, and CTOs about how Cursor fits into modern development workflows.
• Self-starter who thrives in an early-stage, resource-constrained environment and can build process, playbooks, and regional learnings as you go.
• Cares deeply about AI and believes transforming how software is written is one of the most important problems to work on right now.
