Role Description
Nasuni is seeking a seasoned Enterprise Account Executive to win net-new enterprise customers across the DACH region. You will own the territory and full sales cycle, from selecting target accounts and opening doors through discovery, budget creation, technical evaluation, business-case development, negotiation, and close.
You will sell Nasuni’s cloud-native SaaS platform for managing, protecting, and activating unstructured data. This role calls for an experienced enterprise hunter and value-based seller who can create demand, earn credibility with senior buyers, and align technical, financial, procurement, and business stakeholders around a complex enterprise decision.
