Your energy can make or break the sales call. You understand how to create demand, compelling the customer to consider a solution that may never have been under consideration. You effectively adapt to situations and overcome objections, build rapport, stay calm under pressure, and empathize with the customer.

• Lead commercial discussions and contract negotiations, and maintain accurate forecasts for renewals and expansion.
• Help customers use Stack Internal as a trusted context layer for their people, AI assistants, and agents.
• Bring customer insights into our account management playbooks and product roadmap, advocating for the needs of our strategic accounts.

What we expect from you:

• 5+ years of enterprise SaaS sales or account management experience, with a track record of retaining and growing strategic customers at organizations with 10,000+ employees.
• Demonstrated success owning complex enterprise relationships, leading renewals, and closing expansion opportunities while consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets.
• A consultative, relationship-driven approach, with the ability to connect customer business priorities to measurable outcomes and long-term value.
• Experience developing and executing strategic account plans, navigating complex buying processes, and building relationships across executive sponsors, technical leaders, procurement, and other key stakeholders.
• Strong commercial judgment and negotiation skills, including experience managing enterprise contracts and maintaining accurate revenue forecasts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to earn credibility with C-level stakeholders and collaborate effectively across Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Product, and Legal.
• Curiosity about enterprise AI, knowledge management, and developer workflows, with the ability to explain how trusted organizational context supports productivity and more reliable AI.
• The initiative and adaptability to manage a portfolio independently, prioritize competing demands, and follow through in a dynamic, remote environment.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail across account planning, customer commitments, and pipeline management.
• Enthusiasm for Stack Overflow’s evolution and Stack Internal’s role as a trusted context layer for enterprise teams, AI assistants, and agents. #LI-Remote #LI-KS1
