Account Executive • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in sales, ideally with 5+ years of experience in a technology-focused environment — you've successfully navigated complex sales cycles and have a proven track record of exceeding sales targets. Your ability to build relationships with C-level executives is second to none, and you thrive in a collaborative team setting where you can share insights and strategies with your peers.

You possess a consumption/growth mentality — you understand the importance of not just closing deals but also nurturing existing customer relationships to drive further consumption of products. Your analytical skills allow you to assess market trends and customer needs effectively, enabling you to tailor your approach for maximum impact.

You are a self-starter who is comfortable working remotely — you manage your time effectively and are proactive in seeking out new opportunities. Your communication skills are exceptional, allowing you to articulate the value of Confluent's offerings clearly and persuasively.

Desirable

Experience in the data streaming or cloud services industry would be a significant advantage — you understand the competitive landscape and can position Confluent's solutions effectively against competitors.
