Enterprise Account Executive, A/nz South

The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you'll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that.

We've been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There's plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.

**Enterprise Account Executive, A/NZ South**

**Melbourne, Australia - Remote**

**The Role**

Due to our success and the expanding adoption of Postgres our addressable market is significant. We are growing the local sales team by adding an Enterprise Account Executive to be focused on A/NZ South. Reporting to the Regional Director of A/NZ you will be responsible for formulating and executing a strategy for the territory which includes some existing customers and many target prospects. A priority is hitting personal sales targets via growing the existing customers and effectively prospecting for new logos.

You will be supported by a broader team of Sales Engineers, Inside Sales, Professional Services, Customer Success, Partners, Marketing and others - though you are responsible for aligning these resources to enable success within each account and prospect.

Experience successfully selling into the enterprise market is expected. A successful track-record in enterprise database or data management solutions is an advantage, though not as important as being able to sell into the IT exec level as well as engage with the lower levels.

We put a big effort into our sales onboarding program which is generally rated as excellent by new hires. Even if you don't have a database background, within weeks you will have the knowledge & confidence to be effective and you have the Sales Engineers to help you with the harder stuff.
