This role sits on the Commercial team and is accountable for building and sustaining senior-level consultant relationships, ensuring consistent positioning of Sword’s value in the market, and maintaining disciplined pipeline tracking and forecasting through the CRM.
Sword’s Commercial team drives growth by combining strong go-to-market execution with cross-functional partnership across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Account Management. The team operates in a territory-based pod model designed to create repeatable pipeline, accelerate evaluations, and convert opportunities into long-term customers.
