Enterprise Account Executive

About Airbyte: We’re on a mission to make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. With 700+ connectors, our platform powers analytics and gives AI agents the business context they need to do real work. More than 25,000 companies, including 20% of the Fortune 500, rely on Airbyte to put their data to work. We’re built on open source because we believe companies should have full control over their data. A community of 27K members helps shape what we build, and we’re backed by $181M from investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. Models keep getting better.

Confidence engaging both technical practitioners and executive buyers. The ability to translate complex technical capabilities into clear business value. Strong prospecting, discovery, presentation, negotiation, and communication skills. Excellent organization, pipeline management, and forecasting discipline.
