Commerical Account Executive

About the Role

We are seeking a driven and results-oriented Commercial Sales Representative to focus on growing our client base among technology companies in California and the Bay Area. This role is ideal for a strategic seller who understands the tech landscape and can navigate complex enterprise sales cycles. Our platforms combine natural language processing, text analytics, name matching for fraud prevention, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and enterprise data aggregation to deliver actionable insights across multiple use cases.

You will play a key role in expanding our commercial footprint by identifying, developing, and closing new business opportunities. This position requires a blend of consultative sales skills, technical fluency, and a deep understanding of enterprise challenges in the tech sector.

What You’ll Do:

• Prospect & Develop: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified leads across the Bay Area and greater California tech ecosystem.
• Consultative Selling: Understand client business challenges and position our solutions effectively—particularly in areas like fraud detection, OSINT, and enterprise data intelligence.
• Strategic Account Growth: Develop account plans, identify cross-selling opportunities, and expand relationships with key stakeholders.
• Present & Demonstrate: Deliver compelling product demonstrations and communicate the value proposition of our platform in addressing specific business use cases.
• Close New Business: Manage the end-to-end sales process—from first contact through contract negotiation and signature.
• Market Awareness: Stay informed on industry trends, competitors, and evolving customer needs to inform strategy and messaging.
• Collaborate Internally: Work closely with marketing, product, legal, and customer success teams to deliver a seamless customer experience.
• Territory Focus: Concentrate efforts on mid-market and enterprise tech companies headquartered in California, with a focus on the Bay Area.

What You Will Bring:

• 5–10 years of B2B sales experience, with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota in fast-paced environments.
• Experience selling technology-driven solutions to enterprise clients, ideally in sectors like data analytics, AI/ML, cybersecurity, or fraud prevention.
• Strong understanding of sales cycles within tech companies—from startups to mid-sized enterprises.
• Ability to translate technical capabilities (e.g., NLP, OSINT, data matching) into business value for various departments (e.g., fraud, compliance, product, risk).
• Comfortable selling into and building relationships with C-level executives, data teams, and security professionals.
• Proficiency in CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) and managing a dynamic sales pipeline.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level presentations.
• Self-motivated, organized, and entrepreneurial, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Based in or near California, with preference for those local to the Bay Area.

Preferred But Not Required

• Familiarity with open-source intelligence (OSINT) or data privacy/compliance markets.
• Experience working with or selling APIs, NLP solutions, or enterprise data tools.
