Come and build with us. 🎯 Your main goal will be to build one of n8n’s most predictable Enterprise sales teams. You’ll develop high-performing Enterprise AEs, instill forecast and pipeline discipline, and create a repeatable operating model that wins complex, multi-stakeholder deals. To make that happen, you’ll be hands-on in coaching, deal inspection, and team development day-to-day, while staying close enough to strategic deals and customer executives to raise the bar on how we qualify, forecast, and win: DEVELOPING A HIGH-PERFORMING, PREDICTABLE TEAM - Coach and develop a team of Enterprise AEs through structured 1:1s, field coaching, and deal reviews, raising both the floor and the ceiling on individual performance. - Build a rigorous forecasting and pipeline management cadence that makes your numbers predictable quarter over quarter, not dependent on late-quarter heroics. - Create a repeatable operating model with clear playbooks, MEDDIC/MEDDPICC-based deal inspection, and coaching rhythms, so execution doesn’t rely on you personally driving every strategic deal. - Hire, onboard, and scale the team quickly, establishing career paths and succession plans as we grow. SETTING THE STRATEGY FOR YOUR TERRITORY - Prioritize and run your Enterprise territory with focus, balancing new logo pursuits with expansion plays where community signals are strong. - Set the strategy for the team’s most complex enterprise cycles, from discovery to close, staying close enough to coach without taking the pen. - Elevate sales methodology adoption (MEDDIC/MEDDPICC), ensuring meticulous qualification, mutual action plans, and disciplined inspection of technical and business wins. BUILDING A STRATEGIC, MULTI-THREADED SELLING MOTION - Build a strategic selling culture that shifts the team from “running opportunities” to multi-threaded, value-led enterprise execution. - Orchestrate executive engagement across your accounts, aligning economic buyers, champions, and technical evaluators to keep momentum and unblock deals. - Run high-quality deal reviews and QBRs that sharpen strategy, elevate coaching moments, and improve win rates, cycle time, and forecast accuracy.
