Enterprise Account Executive - SF/Bay Area

Responsibilities

• Run full-cycle, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles with sophisticated data and AI leaders (CDO, SVP of Data, CIO) at large accounts, backed by a base of roughly 400 enterprise customers.
• Self-generate pipeline in your own Bay Area territory. You own account strategy and deal orchestration end to end with BDR, Sales Engineer and
• Partner support.
• Build direct relationships with partner field teams (Snowflake, Databricks, and other ISVs/SIs). Atlan is partner-led but almost always closes direct contracts, so these are relationships you build yourself, not leads you passively receive.
• Sell across three connected layers: the established metadata and governance foundation, AI-ready data and governed workflows, and the newer strategic motion (Context Layer, Context Lakehouse, context agents, and Agent Registry).
• Help build the motion itself. Messaging, target-account strategy, executive relationships, and qualification discipline are all still being established here; you'll help codify at least one repeatable play the wider team can inherit.
• Be a visible, embedded presence in the Bay Area technical and CIO/founder ecosystem: meetups and founder circles, not just meeting to meeting.
• What Makes You a Match
• You've carried a bag with a genuine AE track record. You're comfortable with technical nuance and can go deep with a CDO or CIO audience, whether that credibility comes from a Sales Engineer/technical background, a technical degree, or years of selling infrastructure-level products.
• You've successfully sold different technologies or into different buyer types across your career, whether that background is in enterprise application software, AI-native products, or infrastructure.
