About The Position

Bigeye is on a mission to help enterprises trust their data. When used effectively, data can create magical experiences in services and products we all use every day. But those experiences suffer whenever data is delayed, missing, or low quality. Nearly every major enterprise still struggles to keep their data pipelines reliable and to maintain data quality, and can no longer afford to sift through a mess of manually created data quality rules. Some of the world’s largest enterprises—like Centene, USAA, and Williams-Sonoma—have realized they need a more scalable approach, and now use Bigeye’s industry-leading data observability platform to keep their mission critical data applications running smoothly. Our unmatched support for enterprise-oriented data sources, and industry-leading data lineage capabilities, give us a unique foundation from which to serve enterprise data teams. The scale of this challenge is incredibly exciting: we already check over 3 million data quality attributes every day for our customers, but estimate that only 2% of the addressable market has made the switch to using data observability. Come join us in the journey to serve the other 98%. Building on recent customer wins, we are expanding our footprint at the Enterprise level and seeking a highly motivated and experienced Enterprise Account Executive in the Midwest to drive new business acquisition. Leveraging your expertise in the data management or data infrastructure space, you will lead the charge in acquiring new enterprise-level accounts. If you're passionate about driving innovation and helping businesses unlock the full potential of their data then this position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to our growth, take the next step in your career, and be at the forefront of the rapidly maturing data observability market.
