Category-defining tech. Career-defining work.

Lots of tech companies disrupt. But, many fail when they try to scale. We're different. CockroachDB makes it easier for companies to build and scale apps. This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. We tackle problems head-on and focus on solutions that create lasting impact. 

Because when our customers win, we all win. 

 

The Role

Our Account Executives target and close new business with some of today’s most innovative companies. In this role, you’ll both nurture inbound leads in your territory with marketing-led support as well as prospect into a target list of select accounts. You will do this by driving opportunities through the entire sales cycle from pipeline generation to closure, employing a value-oriented sales methodology with a focus on use cases spanning customer data and marketing activation. The ideal candidate will have the aptitude and passion for becoming an expert in CockroachDB’s product capabilities, business impact, and competitive advantages and loves to build long-lasting relationships with customer needs at the center. 

While this is a remote role, you must be based in Singapore to be eligible.

You Will

Close new logos and expand existing business within an assigned territory, meeting and exceeding sales goals through prospecting, qualifying, managing, and closing sales opportunities 

Leverage and coordinate cross-functional internal teams (Sales Development, Legal, Engineering, Security, Marketing, Product) to efficiently navigate complex sales cycles

Maintain, build and own specific relationship maps for your territory, including existing relationships and aspirational contacts

Lead compelling presentations of CockroachDB’s product and vision to a broad range of audiences, from c-level executives to individual contributors

Provide timely and accurate forecasts and clear visibility on sales and revenue performance by actively handling your pipeline of opportunities

The Expectations 

In your first 30 days, you will learn about CockroachDB and will be able to pitch the product proficiently. We believe that it is necessary for you to build this foundation so you can successfully engage with existing accounts and grasp the sales strategy. Upon completion of your first month, you will have built cross-functional relationships and will have started building your strategy for account penetration. 

After three months, you'll have a sound plan for account strategy and mapping. You have started building relationships with several leaders across your region and are beginning to understand their challenges and how CockroachDB can help solve them. You would’ve done at least 15 customer meetings by this time. 

After six months, you will have 3x your quota in pipeline and will have at least 3 POCs in process.  

You Have

6-8+ years of experience selling enterprise solutions and demonstrated success in software sales within the database ecosystem or adjacent technologies

Experience leading large and complex sales cycles within the C-Level at Fortune 500 companies, specifically within financial services and conglomerates

A consultative and value-based approach to selling software for cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployments

The ability to assess customer needs and build valuable, trusted relationships at all levels 

A track record of overachievement and hitting sales targets

Ability to work cohesively with cross functional business units like marketing and sales development

Expert time management and resource skills
