About The Position

As ThoughtSpot's customer base continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our team. The right candidate for this position will have a demonstrated history of leading and managing customers and proven success in selling software & services, preferably in the Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing, or Analytics space. Ideally, you have experience leveraging data and AI-driven insights to drive customer growth and retention. The ability to work independently in a rapidly growing environment is important.
