Account Executive, Professional Services

At Arkatechture, we have a simple shared mission: to build a sustainable organization built upon three pillars: Do something meaningful, With a great team, Earning what you deserve. Founded in 2012, Arkatechture has grown into a nationally recognized data and technology company, partnering with organizations across the fintech, AI, and financial services spaces. We combine deep industry knowledge with technical expertise to help our clients unlock the full potential of their data. Our team is made up of curious, collaborative, and community-minded professionals who are passionate about solving complex problems and staying ahead of what's next in data and technology. While our roots are in New England, our reach is nationwide, and we support flexible, remote-friendly work to match.

We offer a competitive benefits package that includes: a flexible remote work policy with optional access to our Portland, Maine office; a 4-day workweek after 3 years of service; generous paid time off, including 11 holidays; medical, disability, life insurance, and optional dental/vision; 401(k) retirement plan with company match; training & certification reimbursement; milestone recognition programs, annual PTO increases, and more. All employees share our core values: put the team first, practice humility, take pride in everything we do, stay curious, care for our community & environment, take work seriously; ourselves not so much.

Arkatechture is seeking an experienced, relationship-driven Account Executive to drive growth for our Professional Services division. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a consultative selling environment, where understanding client business challenges, shaping tailored solutions, and building long-term partnerships matter more than transactional sales. You will work closely with delivery leaders, data architects, and executive stakeholders to position consulting solutions across data strategy, data engineering, analytics, cloud modernization, and AI enablement initiatives. This is not a high-volume sales role; it is a strategic role focused on quality engagements, trusted relationships, and measurable client outcomes. As an Account Executive at Arkatechture, you will own the full sales lifecycle, from prospecting and discovery through proposal development, negotiation, and close. You will collaborate closely with our consulting and technical teams to develop customized solutions that help organizations modernize their data platforms, improve decision-making, and unlock business value from their data. We are looking for someone who combines strong business acumen with technical curiosity, executive presence, and a genuine passion for helping clients solve complex challenges.

Please send a cover letter and resume with your application. You must submit both documents to be considered for the position. We're building a diverse team of people who care about doing meaningful work with great people. If that excites you, apply and let's start the conversation.
