Enterprise Account Executive

Location: Bellevue, WA (100% Onsite)

Compensation:
  • Base salary: $150,000 – $180,000
  • On-target earnings: $300,000 – $360,000 (50/50 base + variable split)

Overview

A high-growth, cloud-based technology company is seeking its first dedicated Enterprise Account Executive to build and scale a new enterprise sales motion. This organization delivers a comprehensive SaaS platform that helps multi-location businesses streamline operations, improve customer engagement, and drive measurable revenue growth.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a greenfield role with strong internal support and significant upside. The right individual will be a true enterprise hunter—someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from scratch, and is motivated by landing large, strategic deals.

What You’ll Do

Own Enterprise New Business
  • Take full ownership of enterprise and key account acquisition from initial outreach through contract execution
  • Build and execute strategic account plans targeting large, multi-location organizations
  • Drive complex, multi-threaded sales cycles with executive stakeholders

Build Pipeline from the Ground Up
  • Spend a significant portion of time on outbound prospecting and generating new opportunities
  • Partner closely with SDR resources to increase meeting volume and pipeline coverage
  • Develop creative strategies to penetrate target accounts and secure initial meetings

Manage Complex Sales Cycles
  • Navigate long, consultative sales cycles (typically ~120 days from demo to close, often longer to initial engagement)
  • Lead discovery, business case development, and executive alignment
  • Position solutions based on ROI, operational impact, and long-term value

Operate with Discipline and Accountability
  • Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene
  • Manage multiple deals across various stages with strong organization and follow-through
  • Consistently work toward quota attainment while building long-term pipeline

Collaborate Cross-Functionally
  • Partner with marketing, product, and customer success teams to support deal strategy
  • Provide market feedback and insights to influence go-to-market direction

What You Bring
  • 10+ years of B2B sales experience, including 6+ years in SaaS or technology sales
  • Proven success closing complex, enterprise-level deals with large organizations
  • Track record of generating your own pipeline in addition to working inbound opportunities
  • Experience managing long sales cycles and multi-stakeholder buying processes
  • Strong executive presence and ability to engage C-level decision-makers
  • Highly self-motivated with the ability to operate independently in a build-from-scratch environment

Business & Role Context
  • First dedicated Enterprise Account Executive hire
  • Significant SDR support for outbound efforts
  • Majority of time focused on prospecting and securing initial meetings
  • Enterprise motion currently distributed—this role will define and own it

Performance Metrics
  • Target quota: approximately $200K in annual recurring revenue (or ~$50K in quarterly MRR)
  • Deal structure: fewer, larger deals—one strong close can materially impact quota attainment
  • Sales cycle: ~120 days from demo to close (longer for initial engagement and relationship building)

What Success Looks Like
  • Establishing a repeatable enterprise sales motion from the ground up
  • Building a strong pipeline of qualified enterprise opportunities
  • Landing and expanding high-value, strategic accounts
  • Becoming the go-to leader for enterprise sales within the organization

Why This Role
  • True “first-in” enterprise opportunity with high visibility and ownership
  • Ability to shape strategy, process, and approach for enterprise sales
  • Strong internal support combined with autonomy to build
  • High-impact role with meaningful upside tied to deal size and performance
