About the Team
The Appian Sales leadership team is a group of high-energy, results-driven executives dedicated to accelerating our market share in AI-Powered Process Automation.

Our team culture thrives on strategic execution, accurate forecasting, and a shared commitment to establishing Appian as the gold standard for Enterprise-Grade Orchestration.

As a Regional Vice President (RVP), you have a premier opportunity to scale a high-growth territory and lead a dedicated team of Enterprise Account Executives.

- Orchestrate Cross-Functional Resources: Align resources across the customer relationship lifecycle—from initial lead generation to delivery—to ensure total fulfillment of the client's business case.
- Build Executive Relationships: Establish and maintain executive-level relationships with key decision-makers and thought leaders within prospective and existing accounts.
- Execute Strategic Territory Planning: Drive sophisticated territory planning, pricing strategies, and contract negotiations to secure high-value, multi-year enterprise agreements.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Administration, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Experience: 10+ years of quota-carrying enterprise software sales experience selling into large, complex organizations.
- Leadership: Proven track record of building and leading multi-channel sales organizations with consistent quota achievement.
- Sales Methodologies: Strategic mastery of complex sales methodologies, territory decisioning, accurate pipeline forecasting, and executive-level negotiation.
- Domain Depth: Strong background leading sales efforts across all functional areas of an enterprise, with deep expertise in platform sales, Case Management, or Enterprise Applications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong vertical expertise within the Federal Enterprise software markets.
- Mastery of modern forecasting platforms and data-driven CRM tools like Salesforce or Clari.
- We value experience with enterprise platforms such as Salesforce or ServiceNow, as these skills translate well into our Enterprise-Grade Orchestration environment.
