Strategic Account Executive

Careerscape is recruiting a Strategic Account Executive on behalf of our client, a profitable, founder-led SaaS company that provides secure infrastructure and workflow automation to large enterprise organizations.

Austin-based candidates are preferred, with exceptional remote candidates considered.

About the role

Day to day, you are running discovery with IT, security and infrastructure leaders, structuring complex expansion and new-business agreements, and navigating procurement and legal alongside long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles. You will thrive here if you enjoy hunting but also want customers on day one, can talk technical infrastructure fluently with senior executives, and prefer ownership and accountability over waiting on other departments to move a deal forward.

• Experience managing long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
• Strong discovery, negotiation and account-planning skills
• A disciplined approach to forecasting and pipeline management
• Experience selling into very large, complex organizations
• Willingness to travel periodically to Austin and to customer sites
