Job Description: This role is built for sellers who know how to change customer thinking and move deals forward—not wait for perfect alignment or hide behind process. As an Account Executive, you’ll own the full sales cycle for enterprise and upper-mid-market customers, closing transformation deals typically ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 annually, with clear expansion paths over time. You’ll sell Scaled Agile’s enterprise solutions by challenging how customers approach Agile, AI adoption, Lean Portfolio Management, and organizational change—helping leaders move from stalled intent to decisive action. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in messy buying environments, where urgency must be created, value must be quantified, and decisions rarely arrive fully formed. What You’ll Do Lead insight-driven sales conversations - Teach customers something new about the risks of the status quo and the opportunity cost of delaying enterprise change. Create momentum in mid-sized enterprise deals - Drive opportunities forward when buyers are uncertain, divided, or overloaded—keeping deals moving without over engineering them. Navigate real buying groups - Engage directors, VPs, and executives across technology, product, finance, and transformation roles—aligning stakeholders without waiting for consensus. Own the full deal lifecycle - Prospect, qualify, advance, negotiate, and close $50K–$200K opportunities with discipline and urgency. Build business cases that resonate - Translate Agile and AI transformation into economic, operational, and leadership outcomes that buyers care about. Collaborate across teams - Work closely with marketing, partners, and delivery to ensure deals close cleanly and customers launch successfully. Expand accounts intentionally - Land with a focused solution and identify logical expansion paths across training, consulting, and enterprise offerings. Represent Scaled Agile externally - Engage in industry events and conversations where credibility and point of view matter more than product demos.
