Account Executive - Enterprise

Gearset • Chicago, IL

19d • $110,000 - $140,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you’ll lead revenue growth within the largest and most complex organisations in the Salesforce ecosystem. You’ll join a high-performing team focused on delivering Gearset’s market-leading SaaS and DevOps solutions to global brands.

W're looking for a proactive sales professional who excels at identifying new opportunities and managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles. You’ll work in close partnership with Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) and Salesforce to deliver strategic value.

At Gearset, you are more than a salesperson. You will become a product expert and a trusted consultant, helping our customers solve technical challenges and achieve long-term success.

Requirements

• Enterprise Experience: You have a demonstrated track record of navigating and closing high-value, complex deals within the Enterprise SaaS space. We value your ability to manage sophisticated sales cycles and deliver meaningful business outcomes for large-scale organisations.
• Ecosystem Curiosity: You have some familiarity with the Salesforce landscape or a similar technical environment. You are keen to learn the nuances of the co-sell process and enjoy building collaborative relationships with strategic partners.
• Collaborative Partnership: You excel at working alongside GSIs such as Accenture, Deloitte, or Capgemini, and internal BDR and Marketing teams to build a healthy, sustainable sales pipeline.
• Strategic Sales Methodology: You possess a sophisticated understanding of modern sales frameworks (such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Sandler) and can apply these methodologies to drive Strategic Account Planning.
• Growth Mindset: You are a self-starter who is energised by identifying new opportunities and "owning" your territory. You take a proactive approach to revenue generation without relying solely on inbound leads.
• Technical Curiosity: You are eager to develop a deep understanding of DevOps practices. While you don't need to be an engineer, your ability to translate technical DevOps solutions into business value is a key driver of your success.
• Culture & Values: You thrive in a collaborative, low-ego environment. You value transparency, teamwork, and are committed to contributing to the collective success of the Gearset team.
