Strategic Account Executive

About SqlDBM

SqlDBM is the cloud-native data modeling platform that helps data teams design, document, and govern their data architecture in one collaborative workspace. Data architects, engineers, and analysts use SqlDBM to model across Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and more, with no software to install.

As modern data stacks grow, SqlDBM becomes the shared source of truth for how data is structured and what it means. That makes it central to data governance, migration, analytics engineering, and AI-readiness initiatives at some of the world's most data-driven enterprises.

About the role

As a Strategic Account Executive, you will own SqlDBM's most important customer relationships and win new logos among the largest companies in the world. The role combines expanding a book of strategic accounts with breaking into Global 2000 enterprises that have never bought from us.

You will take over a set of our most strategic customers and grow them by uncovering new use cases, business units, and data platforms where SqlDBM adds value. At the same time, you will run complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles into Fortune 500 and Global 2000 targets, selling to data leaders, enterprise architects, and executive sponsors.

You will report to SVP of Sales and Customer Success and work closely with Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing.
