Enterprise Account Executive - Australia

Ideals is a global B2B SaaS product company recognized as the most highly rated and customer-centric brand in the secure business collaboration market. Trusted by over 2,000,000 users from 300,000 companies globally, we help people run high-stakes processes and make important decisions with less stress, higher quality, and shorter hours.

Ideals Virtual Data Room (VDR): Secure document sharing and collaboration for due diligence, fundraising, corporate reporting, licensing, clinical trials, and other complex transactions.

To support Ideals' rapid growth in Australia, we are looking for our first Enterprise Account Executive to focus on our enterprise segment in Sydney.

You’ll join our two Key Accounts Sales teammates in Sydney. Unlike our M&A advisory-focused motions, you'll sell directly to enterprise companies across industries like energy, pharma, biotech, and telecommunications. As a quota-carrying strategic seller, you’ll grow revenue, acquiring new enterprise accounts and expanding existing ones. Expect 6- to 9-month sales cycles, deep discovery conversations, and consultative selling that often means displacing an incumbent vendor.

You’ll open a new growth channel for Ideals in Australia, with real ownership over how we approach the corporate market.
