Your Impact

As a Named Account Executive (NAE), you will manage a defined portfolio of high-value, strategic enterprise accounts with a mandate to drive multi-year transformation, significant revenue expansion, and deep executive engagement. This role focuses on long-term-growth and operating as a trusted advisor to key stakeholders.

This role is remote - the team meets up in Amsterdam once a month.

Your Mission

Strategic Account Ownership: Own and execute account plans for assigned named accounts, with a focus on long-term growth and multi-solution adoption. Develop land-and-expand motions that convert initial wins into enterprise-wide standardization across business units and regions.

Political Mapping & Deal Orchestration: Create and maintain detailed political account maps (e.g., power & influence maps) to track power centers, influencers, and potential blockers. Lead and orchestrate cross-functional pursuit teams (Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Legal) to deliver compelling, customized solutions.

Customer Advocacy & Renewal Leadership: Ensure high customer satisfaction and retention by driving adoption and connecting measurable outcomes to business strategy. Identify risk to renewal or expansion and proactively intervene.

Forecasting & Execution: Maintain an accurate pipeline through disciplined CRM management and forecast new business revenue with precision. Partner with cloud hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and global SI partners to influence large-scale digital modernization deals.
