Account Executive, AI Team - San Francisco at Cockroach Labs · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Our AI Enterprise Account Executives target and close new business with some of the most innovative AI-native companies in the world. In this role, you will own a named list of high-priority accounts while building relationships across a broader ecosystem of AI-native builders in the Bay Area. You will drive opportunities through the entire sales cycle from pipeline generation to close, employing a value-oriented sales methodology tailored to engineering-first organizations. Your buyers are Principal Engineers and CTOs who make infrastructure decisions based on technical credibility and trusted relationships, and who move in weeks, not quarters. The ideal candidate has a genuine passion for CockroachDB's product and a talent for building long-lasting relationships with technical buyers at the center. This role is based in the Bay Area.
Own a named territory of AI-native accounts, managing account plans, outreach, and progression through the full sales cycle
Leverage and coordinate cross-functional internal teams including Sales Development, Solutions Engineering, DevRel, Legal, Marketing, and Product to efficiently navigate complex sales cycles
Build and grow pipeline in a high-velocity, developer-led market where infrastructure decisions happen fast and first-mover relationships matter
Run structured discovery to understand how prospects are building and where CockroachDB fits in their stack
Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasts, and account documentation in Salesforce
Represent Cockroach Labs at key Bay Area AI events and developer summits as an active community member
The Expectations
In your first 30 days, you will learn about CockroachDB and will be able to pitch the product proficiently. You will build cross-functional relationships and develop your strategy for account penetration across your named territory.
After three months, you will have active outreach across your territory, a clear account strategy, and early-stage pipeline in motion. You have begun building relationships with technical leaders across your accounts and have a strong point of view on how CockroachDB solves their challenges.
After six months, you will have a healthy pipeline, active POCs in process, and a growing presence in the Bay Area AI ecosystem that extends well beyond your named account list.
