Role Overview
The GTM Client Executive will own the full enterprise sales cycle, from creating pipeline and winning new customers to closing paid contracts and expanding adoption across strategic accounts. This is a hands-on, quota-carrying hunter role, not a traditional installed-base or account-management position.
What You Will Do
The Account Executive will cultivate target accounts, uncover high-value workloads and business problems, identify technical champions and economic decision-makers, and create urgency where budgets or buying processes may not yet exist. Working with Solution Architects and engineering, the AE will establish proof-of-concept (PoC) engagements using representative customer applications and environments, with clear success criteria and commercial next steps.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Successful candidates will turn initial wins into wider adoption across workloads and business units while helping build a repeatable enterprise sales motion.
