Enterprise Account Executive (SLED)
Here at Anaplan, we have reinvented how companies see, plan, and run their businesses. Our platform allows our customers to uncover new insights, connect their strategy to their plans, and work in ways they had not previously thought possible. We’re growing fast, constantly innovating, and couldn’t be prouder to help our customers move forward with confidence in a sophisticated and changing world.
We are looking for forward-thinking people who bend over backward to put customers first. Individuals who thrive on challenge and are ready to grasp the opportunity of a lifetime. Because we fundamentally believe every colleague brings unique value to our whole. We are a workplace where each person feels seen, heard, and valued, and can contribute their unique talent to our collective effort. We believe that for ourselves and for our customers.
At Anaplan, we are looking for an ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE (SLED) to join one of the fastest growing cloud vendors and make your mark on the industry. You will take your proven track record of new business sales and Account Management of Global 2000 enterprises and sell an incredibly versatile solution that is helping people and companies around the world every day to make better-informed plans and decisions.
Our sales team is sharing our bold vision with companies around the world and helping them understand the power of Anaplan products. We partner with some of the world’s biggest brands, such as GE, PwC, and VMware, to unlock their full potential for success and to grow our business.
You will join a team of individuals who embrace and respect diverse perspectives, aren’t afraid to push boundaries and try new ideas, and are passionate about helping our customers and each other succeed. We work hard, but we also don’t wait for an excuse to have fun. In fact, we’re so serious about it that it’s one of our core values.
Would you consider yourself as someone always on the hunt for a win? Do you take the time to seize each opportunity for all that you can all while consistently putting in the time and energy to succeed? Then this job is for you!

Reporting directly to the RVP (Regional Vice President), you will work with our Sales Development Reps, Pre-sales Consultants and Customer Success Team to build customer value and drive new business onto the Anaplan platform. You may have up to 20 accounts in a defined geographic territory, mostly ‘greenfield’ accounts with several existing Anaplan customers. This type of territory requires someone to further build our footprint by hunting and winning new logo accounts as well as expanding opportunities within the current Anaplan customer base.

- Engaging with targeted enterprise prospects to identify broken business processes and position Anaplan’s unique ability to solve the problem
- Learning the business and profit models of all of your accounts, to effectively understand how they plan and guide their decision-making
- Building and defending Anaplan’s business value throughout the selling engagement. Navigating complex prospect environments to align the prospect around the Anaplan solution

- Utilizing Anaplan’s value-based selling methodology and Salesforce.com to manage sales processes and accurately forecast business
- Recruiting and leveraging partners and existing customers in your territory to build your Anaplan “franchise”
More about you:
- 5-7 years’ successful selling into SLED
