Head of Revenue Execution

Des Moines, IA

  • Responsibilities

    Company Overview

    Vertex Software is at the forefront of innovative technology in a rapidly changing industry. As the manufacturing industry navigates digital transformation, Vertex is powering Industry 4.0 initiatives. Our cloud-based platform enables manufacturers to build and deploy real-time, highly performant, 3D-enabled applications across the extended enterprise.

    We help the world’s leading industrial companies innovate and gain competitive advantage by securely delivering high-fidelity 3D experiences at scale—without compromising intellectual property or performance.

    Vertex founder and proven entrepreneur Dan Murray has built and scaled multiple enterprise software companies to $100M+ in revenue, including successful IPOs. This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing, enterprise-focused software company at a pivotal stage of scale.

    Position Overview

    Vertex is seeking a seasoned Head of Revenue Execution to institutionalize enterprise deal execution and scale founder-level commercial judgment across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of Sales, Customer Experience, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Partnerships.

    The Head of Revenue Execution is not a quota-carrying sales role. Instead, this position owns late-stage deal orchestration, commercial integrity, pricing and packaging evaluation, proposal and RFP leadership, and pipeline confidence. You will act as the internal “quarterback” for complex enterprise deals, ensuring Vertex wins business the right way—without breaking delivery, roadmap discipline, or customer trust.

    This role replaces the need for founder-led deal execution and is critical to Vertex’s next phase of growth with Fortune 100 manufacturers and strategic partners such as AWS.

    Key Responsibilities

    What You Will Do

    Own late-stage enterprise deal execution across strategic accounts

    Lead and shape proposals, RFIs, and RFP responses in coordination with Sales, CX, Product, and Engineering

    Evaluate and recommend pricing models, packaging, and commercial terms within established guardrails

    Assess deal readiness, risk, and confidence for forecasting and financial planning

    Serve as the single source of truth for pipeline stage integrity and deal health

    Advise Sales leadership on deal prioritization, sequencing, and late-stage strategy

    Orchestrate cross-functional alignment to ensure commitments align with the Plan of Record

    Identify delivery, roadmap, or capacity risks early and surface tradeoffs explicitly

    Partner closely with Finance to support accurate forecasting and revenue reporting

    Support strategic partner motions (e.g., AWS-sponsored POCs) with disciplined execution

    Reduce founder involvement in deal execution by institutionalizing judgment and process

    What You Need to Succeed

    10+ years of experience in enterprise SaaS sales, revenue operations, deal desk, or commercial leadership roles

    Proven experience closing and supporting large, complex enterprise deals (Fortune 500 / Global 2000)

    Deep understanding of enterprise buying processes, long sales cycles, and multi-stakeholder decision-making

    Strong commercial judgment across pricing, packaging, and contract structure

    Ability to translate technical, product, and delivery realities into clear commercial commitments

    Exceptional cross-functional leadership and influence skills

    Comfort operating without formal authority while holding teams accountable

    Strong executive presence and communication skills

    High integrity, sound judgment, and the ability to carry tension without defaulting to shortcuts

    What Would Really Excite Us

    Prior experience working alongside founders or executive teams to scale revenue operations

    Experience supporting partner-led enterprise motions (AWS, hyperscalers, SI ecosystems)

    Background in manufacturing, industrial software, PLM, CAD, or complex technical platforms

    Experience building or operating deal governance frameworks at scale

    Track record of improving forecast accuracy and deal quality, not just deal volume

    About the Team, Tools, and Tech

    We partner closely with AWS and operate at enterprise scale with strict security and compliance requirements

    We value clarity, integrity, and thoughtful execution over heroics
