About the role
- TL;DR: We're hiring a killer Strategic AE to go after ~50 of the largest companies in the world.
- This is a high-stakes, high-impact seat focused on landing and expanding 6-7 figure deals inside complex, global enterprises.
- You'll work directly with our VP of Revenue to win accounts that define the company.
Responsibilities
- Own the top 50 accounts (and nothing else):
- Build deep, surgical account plans - org mapping, power mapping, political mapping
- Create and drive multi-threaded strategies across business units
- Drive urgency in slow-moving orgs
- Lead from the front:
- Maintain a high bar on pipeline, forecasting, and deal quality
- As an early member of the team, you'll own end-to-end processes from scratch and grow alongside the company.
- Room to grow: As an early member of the team, you'll own end-to-end processes from scratch and grow alongside the company.
Nice to have
- Pull in execs, product, and eng at the right moments to win
- Control the deal - don't let procurement or consensus kill it
- 5-8+ years closing in B2B SaaS - and you've actually closed big deals
- Track record of winning 6-7 figure enterprise contracts
- You've sold into complex, global orgs and know how to navigate them
- You multi-thread by default - not as a "nice to have"
- Competitive, persistent, and comfortable hearing "no" 20 times to get one "yes"
- You want to be in the room for the deals that matter - not padded pipeline
