Senior Enterprise Account Executive – US East & Central

About Datafold Datafold is the data engineering automation platform. A major part of our business is delivering large-scale data engineering projects — such as data platform migrations — with AI, at a fixed price and a guaranteed timeline. We are not a typical software vendor or SI: we are a venture-backed company that reimagined automation from the ground up and delivers projects up to 6x faster https://www.datafold.com/case-study/chg-healthcare-mysql-to-snowflake-migration than alternatives, disrupting the IT Services industry. We partner deeply with data platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake to source, co-sell, and deliver migrations at scale. About the role Datafold is hiring a senior Account Executive to own new business across the Eastern and Central US. This is a high-ownership, partner-led role. You'll sell a product where the outcome — a completed migration, on time, at a fixed price — is the contract. That's a fundamentally different conversation from traditional software sales, and it requires someone who can earn trust at both the technical and executive levels simultaneously. You will build and run your own pipeline through our data platform partnerships, own the full sales cycle from first call to signed contract, and work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure a seamless handoff and customer experience. Why now Last quarter we closed more business than in the previous two years combined. Demand from our partners is bigger than our sales team. This is the second US seller role, alongside our West Coast AE.
