About the role
As a Commercial Account Executive at Dremio, you will be 100% focused on selling Next Gen Dremio Cloud (SaaS) to commercial customers (sub-4,000 employees).
This is a pipeline-driven, outbound-oriented SaaS sales role. While inbound interest and marketing support exist, success in this role requires consistent self-sourced pipeline generation through outbound prospecting, targeted account outreach, and partner-led motions.
Commercial AEs at Dremio own the full sales cycle—from pipeline creation through close—and are expected to operate with urgency, discipline, and accountability.
What you’ll be doing
- Achieve sales quotas for allocated accounts on a quarterly and annual basis by developing a sales strategy in the allocated territory with a target prospect list, and a regional territory plan.
- Own pipeline generation through outbound prospecting, account-based outreach, partner motions, and targeted campaigns
- Actively build and manage account plans for your customer accounts
- Be the trusted advisor to the customer by understanding their existing and future IT roadmap to drive the Dremio solution.
- Embrace AI sales tools to drive prospecting and customer strategies for success. Develop Points of View (POV) for customer engagement
- Prospect qualification and the development of new sales opportunities and ongoing revenue streams.
- Arrange and conduct Executive and CxO discussions and events.
- Sales process management and opportunity closure with Salesforce.com and Clari.
- Ongoing account management to ensure customer satisfaction and drive additional revenue streams.
- Be familiar with solution-based selling, have experience managing a complex sales process and possess excellent presentation, listening, organization, and contact management skills.
- Sell Next Gen Dremio Cloud (SaaS) exclusively to commercial customers
- Maintain healthy pipeline coverage through consistent outbound activity driving to exceed 3x coverage ratios
- Execute 3–6 month SaaS sales cycles with strong deal velocity
- Lead structured discovery, qualification, demos, and close processes
- Partner with Solutions Architects as needed to support technical validation while maintaining momentum
- Accurately manage pipeline, forecasting, and CRM hygiene
What we’re looking for
- 3-5 years of experience in pipeline-driven SaaS sales roles, managing and closing your own deals
- Demonstrated ability to self-source pipeline consistently, not rely solely on inbound leads
- Proven success closing $75K–$300K ARR SaaS deals
- Experience in carrying and achieving $800K+ Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) quotas
- Strong outbound prospecting, discovery, and qualification skills
- High-activity, high-ownership mindset with strong execution discipline
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with high energy/positive attitude
- Excellent verbal and written communication, presentation, and relationship management skills
- BA/BS required
Preferred Experience
- Experience with consumption-based or cloud-native SaaS models
- Familiarity with lakehouses, data warehouses, analytics, AI, and/or modern data platforms
- Exposure to open-source ecosystems
