As an Account Executive, you manage a territory that includes target-accounts and an existing book of business with companies up to 1,000 employees. Your primary focus is hunting new business opportunities, building sales pipeline, and driving growth within the SMB sector. You are also responsible for upselling into the existing account base, leveraging our Extended Access Management platform. You will own a specific geographical region or country within the EMEA market.

Across GTM, we’re transforming the way we work with AI. We expect every seller, CSM, and team member to become a power user, using it daily to work smarter and move faster. AI is already embedded in how we operate – from real-time coaching that sharpens how we sell and interact with customers, to surfacing insights that help us anticipate needs – creating more time for meaningful customer engagement. If you’re excited to reshape how you think, make decisions, and drive growth with AI, you’ll feel right at home here.
