Enterprise Account Executive
About the role
What you’ll be responsible for
1. New logo acquisition
- You'll own the end-to-end pursuit of new strategic customers:
- Develop and execute account plans: stakeholder mapping, entry strategy, and path-to-close
- Lead structured discovery and qualification in complex buying environments
- Build credibility with technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders
- Navigate long-cycle deals with clarity, discipline, and focus on deal quality
- Qualify and disqualify rigorously to prioritise winnable opportunities
- Strategic expansion (in partnership with Account Management)
- Once customers are live, you'll work closely with Account Managers to:
- Identify expansion signals and shape them into qualified opportunities
- Own the commercial execution of expansion deals (new products, teams, use cases, or footprint)
- Ensure expansion activity strengthens long-term account health and customer outcomes
- You do not own renewals. After close, ownership transitions cleanly to Account Management and Customer Success so customers experience continuity, not handover friction.
How you’ll do it
- Own a defined strategic account set, with accountability for focus, prioritisation, and penetration
- Build and maintain a healthy, high-quality pipeline across new logo and expansion opportunities
- Partner with Marketing and ecosystem partners on targeted inbound and outbound motions
- Use account-level research and insight to earn executive access and multi-threaded sponsorship
- Run a disciplined qualification methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC or equivalent)
- Build compelling business cases aligned to customer priorities and outcomes
- Collaborate closely with presales, partners, and senior technical leadership on high-stakes pursuits
- Maintain strong CRM hygiene, opportunity planning, and reliable forecasting
- Execute clean handoffs to Account Management and Customer Success post-sale
Success in this role is measured by
- Consistent creation of high-quality strategic pipeline
- Strong win rates on well-qualified opportunities
- Clean execution and handover that sets customers up for long-term success
Requirements
- Proven experience selling complex B2B or enterprise technology
- Strong track record of new logo acquisition in long-cycle, multi-stakeholder deals
- Experience driving expansion within existing enterprise customers
- Confidence engaging technical and business stakeholders, including at executive level
- Disciplined judgement around qualification, prioritisation, and deal execution
- Strong forecasting integrity and CRM discipline
- Collaborative mindset across sales, technical, partner, and account teams
- High commercial integrity and professionalism
- Calm, resilient approach to complex, high-value pursuits
You’ll likely thrive here if you
- Enjoy complex, strategic selling rather than transactional deals
- Value disciplined execution over opportunistic selling
- Come prepared, credible, and thoughtful to every customer conversation
- Take pride in how deals are won- not just that they are won
- Care about clean handoffs and long-term customer success
- Like working closely with technical counterparts and account teams
