Job Description

OpenLM is looking for a curious, technically minded Technical Account Executive to join our US team. This is a hybrid role sitting at the intersection of presales, technical support, and customer business partnership. You will work directly with prospects and customers — understanding their engineering and IT environments, demonstrating our software license management platform, and ensuring their long-term success.

This is a growth role. Strong performers will be developed into Key Account Managers or Business Managers, taking ownership of strategic accounts and regional revenue targets.

​

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Presales & Solution Consulting

  • Run product demonstrations tailored to each prospect's technical environment (EDA, CAD, engineering software stacks).

  • Respond to RFPs and technical questionnaires; prepare evaluation plans and proof-of-concept scopes.

  • Partner with the sales team to qualify opportunities and move deals through the pipeline.




Customer Success & Technical Support

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for a portfolio of US accounts post-sale.

  • Troubleshoot license server issues, integration questions, and deployment challenges.

  • Conduct periodic business reviews and usage health checks with customer stakeholders.


Business & Account Development

  • Understand each customer's license optimization goals, IT governance requirements, and budget cycles.

  • Identify upsell and expansion opportunities; collaborate with account owners on renewal strategies.

  • Build relationships across IT, procurement, and engineering personas within customer organizations.

​


Requirements


  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field preferred; equivalent hands-on technical experience will be considered.

  • 0–3 years of experience in a technical sales, solutions engineering, or support role (internships count).

  • Comfortable discussing technical topics — servers, networks, software licensing, or IT infrastructure.

  • Strong written and verbal communication; confident presenting to both technical and business audiences.

  • Self-starter who can manage a pipeline, follow up diligently, and work independently across time zones.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with software license management, EDA tools, CAD/CAM, or HPC environments.

  • Experience with CRM tools (Zoho, Salesforce, or similar) and sales pipeline management.

  • Exposure to enterprise SaaS sales cycles or B2B account management.

  • Second language is a plus — our US customer base spans global engineering teams.
