Enterprise Account Executive - Slack
About the Role
At Slack in the Software space, Where work happens, collaboration thrives, and teams connect seamlessly..
We're looking for a dynamic, strategic, and outcomes-driven Enterprise Account Executive to drive Data Foundations growth across large enterprise organisations. In this highly visible role, you will build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, identify new opportunities for engagement, and position Salesforce's industry-leading data management and analytics platform as a critical enabler of digital transformation across the enterprise. This is a quota-carrying role where you will act as the "CEO" of your territory, owning the strategy, engagement model, and execution plan across your assigned accounts. You will lead complex sales cycles in partnership with cross-functional teams and help enterprise organisations address challenges related to data silos, data quality, fragmented reporting, and the need for trusted, unified data to drive better decisions and outcomes. By bringing together strong account planning, consultative selling, and enterprise industry insight, you will help organisations modernise how they manage, govern, and activate data — enabling smarter business decisions, improved customer experience, and accelerated growth. This is not a typical software sales role. As an Enterprise Account Executive for Data Foundations, you will play a direct role in helping large organisations transform how they collect, connect, and trust their data. You will engage with decision-makers across business units to understand strategic data priorities, navigate buying complexity, and align Data Foundations solutions to enterprise-wide transformation agendas. Success in this role requires a strong ability to build executive relationships, create demand, and drive long-term strategic engagement across a complex enterprise environment.
