APT Search

Chicago, IL

Filed under Staffing and Recruiting

Full job description

Overview:

APT Search is representing a global eDiscovery and legal services provider on the hire of a Sales Consultant for the US market. This is a pure new business role, selling eDiscovery services into corporate legal departments and law firms, with the scope to cross-sell data and AI and cyber security services as the relationship grows. The business operates offices and data centers worldwide, so you are selling global delivery capability rather than a single-region service. It suits a mid-level seller who has already opened and signed their own accounts in this space and can evidence how they did it.


Responsibilities of this eDiscovery Sales Consultant:

  • Own new business development across corporate legal and law firm accounts in your territory.
  • Build and maintain a qualified pipeline through year one, converting to closed revenue in years two and three.
  • Meet prospects and clients face to face in your market, whether that is Chicago, New York or Washington DC.
  • Run the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, scoping, pricing, proposal, negotiation and close.
  • Sell the core eDiscovery service line first, then identify and develop cross-sell opportunities into data and AI and cyber security services.
  • Work with delivery, operations and solutions teams to scope engagements accurately and price them competitively.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline, forecast and activity reporting.
  • Represent the business at industry events and build a visible presence in the legal technology community.


Requirements of this eDiscovery Sales Consultant:

  • 2-8 years of eDiscovery or legal services sales experience.
  • A demonstrable record of winning new logos, not just managing existing accounts. You will be asked to walk through specific clients you signed and how you got them over the line.
  • Experience selling into both corporate legal departments and law firms.
  • Confidence and credibility in face to face client meetings.
  • Working knowledge of the eDiscovery lifecycle and the ability to hold a technical conversation with legal and IT stakeholders.
  • Comfort with a build year followed by revenue-carrying years, and the discipline to work a long sales cycle.
  • Based in or able to work regularly in Chicago, New York or Washington DC.


Comp and benefits:

  • $130,000 - $145,000 base salary
  • 6-8% commission on revenue, uncapped
  • Remote working, with regular in-person client meetings in your market
  • Medical, retirement, PTO and expenses (full benefits provided at application)
