Enterprise Account Executive – US
About The Position
Datafold is hiring an experienced Account Executive to own new business across the Eastern & Central regions of the US & Canada. This is a high-ownership, partner-led role. You'll sell a product where the outcome — a completed migration, on time, at a fixed price — is the contract. That's a fundamentally different conversation from traditional software sales, and it requires someone who can earn trust at both the technical and executive levels simultaneously. You will build and run your own pipeline through our data platform partnerships, own the full sales cycle from first call to signed contract, and work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure a seamless handoff and customer experience.
Requirements
- 5+ years in enterprise software sales, with at least 2 years selling into the data/analytics space (data platforms, ETL/ELT, data engineering tooling, or adjacent)
- Proven track record closing new enterprise logos in the US & Canada
- Experience with a partner-led or co-sell motion
- Comfort with technical buyers: you don't need to write SQL, but you need to hold a credible conversation with a data engineering lead about migration complexity, risk, and timelines
- Self-starter with a builder mentality — we have a motion that works, but this is still an early EMEA team and you'll help define how it scales
Nice To Haves
- Outcome-based or professional services sales experience is a strong plus — selling a fixed-price deliverable is different from selling a SaaS license, and you understand why
Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle for new logos across Eastern & Central US and Canada: discovery, technical qualification, proposal, negotiation, and close
- Build and develop pipeline through our partner ecosystem (Databricks, Snowflake, GCP, dbt, Microsoft), including field co-sell, joint account planning, and partner-sourced introductions
- Run compelling discovery and value conversations with both data engineering leaders and executive buyers (VP/CTO level)
- Collaborate with Forward Deployed Data Engineers to scope migration projects, build SOWs, and set customer expectations on delivery
- Represent Datafold at partner events, field meetups, and customer briefings across the US & Canada
- Feed market and competitive intelligence back into product and GTM — you are close to customers and partners; your input shapes how we evolve
Benefits
- Competitive base salary + uncapped commission and equity
