Enterprise Account Executive – US

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 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 an experienced Account Executive to own new business across the Eastern & Central regions of the US & Canada. 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.

What you'll do

Own the full sales cycle for new logos across Eastern & Central US and Canada: discovery, technical qualification, proposal, negotiation, and close

Build and develop pipeline through our partner ecosystem (Databricks, Snowflake, GCP, dbt, Microsoft), including field co-sell, joint account planning, and partner-sourced introductions

Run compelling discovery and value conversations with both data engineering leaders and executive buyers (VP/CTO level)

Collaborate with Forward Deployed Data Engineers to scope migration projects, build SOWs, and set customer expectations on delivery

Represent Datafold at partner events, field meetups, and customer briefings across the US & Canada

Feed market and competitive intelligence back into product and GTM — you are close to customers and partners; your input shapes how we evolve

What we're looking for

5+ years in enterprise software sales, with at least 2 years selling into the data/analytics space (data platforms, ETL/ELT, data engineering tooling, or adjacent)

Proven track record closing new enterprise logos in the US & Canada

Experience with a partner-led or co-sell motion

Comfort with technical buyers: you don't need to write SQL, but you need to hold a credible conversation with a data engineering lead about migration complexity, risk, and timelines

Outcome-based or professional services sales experience is a strong plus — selling a fixed-price deliverable is different from selling a SaaS license, and you understand why

Self-starter with a builder mentality — we have a motion that works, but this is still an early EMEA team and you'll help define how it scales

Compensation

Competitive base salary + uncapped commission and equity
