Company Description
As the leader in Digital Employee Experience, Nexthink gives enterprises real-time visibility into how employees experience technology across devices, applications, networks, and digital workflows. Our platform helps IT teams move from reactive support to proactive, automated experience management: seeing issues, diagnosing root causes, fixing problems at scale, and increasingly using AI to deliver faster, more intelligent outcomes for employees. Nexthink describes its platform as a unified DEX data and automation layer with AI-powered IT agents and Spark, built to help teams decide, design, automate, and resolve employee issues instantly.
This is a rare opportunity to sell into a market that is still expanding, highly relevant to every CIO, and increasingly central to how enterprises think about productivity, AI adoption, employee experience, and operational efficiency. Nexthink has been recognized as a category creator and global leader in DEX, with recent investment activity valuing the company at $3 billion.
Job Description
We are looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to drive new business revenue across the North Central region. This is a high-impact, field-oriented role for a seller who can create demand, challenge customer thinking, and help large organizations reimagine what IT can deliver to the business.
Why this role matters
The next evolution of IT is not just about uptime. It is about experience, productivity, automation, and measurable business value.
As an Enterprise Account Executive at Nexthink, you will help CIOs, Digital Workplace leaders, End User Computing teams, Service Desk leaders, and IT Operations executives answer questions like:
  • How do we find and fix technology issues before employees report them?
  • How do we reduce ticket volume and improve service quality at scale?
  • How do we measure whether employees are actually adopting new tools, including AI?
  • How do we turn IT from a cost center into a driver of productivity and employee experience?
  • How do we make digital work feel seamless?

You help customers rethink the operating model of enterprise IT.
What you will do
You will own new business growth across your assigned territory by building a strategic territory plan, creating executive-level demand, and driving complex enterprise sales cycles from initial engagement through close.
  • Build, manage, and execute a regional sales strategy for the North Central territory.
  • Prospect aggressively into enterprise accounts and develop qualified pipeline.
  • Identify business pains tied to employee productivity, IT support, application adoption, digital transformation, and AI readiness.
  • Engage multiple stakeholders across IT, Digital Workplace, End User Computing, Service Management, Infrastructure, Security, Procurement, and executive leadership.
  • Evangelize Nexthink's value proposition and educate customers on the rapidly evolving DEX category.
  • Partner with Nexthink's business development, marketing, channel, solution consulting, and professional services teams to create and advance opportunities.
  • Lead discovery, business case development, executive presentations, proof-of-concept alignment, negotiation, and close.
  • Manage customer expectations throughout evaluations and proof-of-concept cycles.
  • Sell the full Nexthink solution, including software, services, and support, to ensure long-term customer success.
  • Build trusted relationships that create expansion opportunities and durable customer value.
  • Consistently exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual bookings targets.

Qualifications
What makes you a strong fit
You are a high-performing enterprise seller who knows how to create a market, not just respond to one. You are energized by new categories, complex problems, and executive conversations where you can connect technology to measurable business outcomes.
  • 5+ years of enterprise technology sales experience in a fast-paced, competitive B2B SaaS or enterprise software environment.
  • A proven record of quota overachievement, such as President's Club, top rep performance, or consistent attainment above plan.
  • Experience selling complex solutions to large enterprise IT organizations.
  • Ability to evangelize emerging categories and educate buyers on new ways of solving business problems.
  • Strong executive presence and the ability to sell across technical, operational, and business stakeholders.
  • Discipline in territory planning, account strategy, pipeline generation, qualification, forecasting, and deal execution.
  • Comfort managing proof-of-concept processes and aligning technical validation to business value.
  • A consultative sales approach with strong discovery, storytelling, and value-selling skills.
  • High ownership, urgency, resilience, and intellectual curiosity.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • Sold disruptive or category-creating technology in an early-stage, high-growth, or market-expansion environment.
  • A track record of opening new logos and building territory from the ground up.
  • The ability to simplify complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes.
  • A strong partner ecosystem mindset and experience working with channel, alliance, or services partners.
  • The confidence to challenge customer assumptions while building trust.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
