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. 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.
