Role Description
This is a rare opportunity to join Warp at a pivotal moment in our growth, and become the driving force of our expansion function. As our first Expansion AE, you'll own a book of existing commercial and enterprise accounts β driving renewals, credit-based upsells, and multi-team adoption across Warp's fastest-growing customers.
Responsibilities
-
Help build the expansion playbook from scratch β this function doesn't exist yet, and you'll define how Warp grows within its most strategic accounts.
-
Own a portfolio of existing commercial/enterprise customers β accountable for expansion revenue, net retention, and renewals.
-
Proactively multi-thread into engineering and product leadership to deepen adoption, position Warp's evolving platform β Warp Drive, multi-agent workflows, and AI-native terminal features, and turn initial lands into multi-year relationships.
-
Monitor credit consumption and usage commitments β reach out before customers exhaust pre-commits to right-size the next phase of their commercial structure.
-
Run renewal motions end-to-end, from transactional email-led renewals to complex multi-stakeholder negotiations involving SEs, product, and leadership.
-
Collaborate closely with Engineering, Growth, and Leadership to surface field signal β what's landing, what's not, and what the next wave of expansion looks like.
Qualifications
-
5+ years experience with expansion and renewal sales, including owning a book of business β ideally in a fast-paced startup environment.
-
Comfortable with ambiguity and change β you default to figuring it out, not waiting to be told.
-
Hands-on experience with tools like HubSpot, sales engagement platforms (Apollo, Outreach, or similar), and BI/usage dashboards.
-
Proven track record of outperformance β top-quartile results, President's Club, or clear evidence you've been an outlier on your team.
-
Experience selling technical products β dev tools, infrastructure, data/AI platforms, or similarly complex multi-stakeholder solutions.
Requirements
-
Experience selling to engineering teams or developer-facing products β you know how to earn trust with technical buyers.
-
Experience with PLG-to-enterprise expansion motions and usage-based pricing models.
-
Comfort navigating usage-based and credit-model pricing β you can explain 'why things are changing' in a way that builds customer confidence.
-
Familiarity with the AI/LLM landscape and how it shapes buyer conversations.
