Technical Account Executive

Join as one of the first dedicated Sales hires at Lightdash, building out our GTM team.

About Lightdash:

Lightdash is the first AI-native BI platform for technical data teams who are frustrated with complex, expensive traditional BI tools.

We’re building the best BI tool for data teams by letting them manage everything as code, from the comfort of their IDE and command line. Once the data team has created metrics, then Lightdash enables self-serve for the entire business, so your data is accessible to the whole team using natural language, drag and drop and more.

We’re helping data teams build data-driven companies so they can make better decisions, faster.

Role Overview

In this role, you’ll be talking and demoing to our customers and building relationships for the future. You'll be running technical demos of the product, and be a product expert for our customers.

As one of the first dedicated sales hires at Lightdash, you'll be a builder-seller hybrid, working to transform our customer wins into a structured, repeatable sales motion.

What you won't be doing:

❌ Bringing along other folks on sales calls. You'll be in these chats 1:1 with prospects and expected to be able to be an expert on all things Lightdash.
