About the Role: Glean is looking for an energetic, customer-obsessed, and commercially sharp “capital “L” sales Leader to stand up and scale our newly-formed Install-base Corporate AE team in Nashville. This is a high-impact, ground-floor leadership role: you'll build the dedicated team responsible for retention and expansion across our $XXM Corporate install-base, helping our customers harness the transformative potential of Glean as they scale their AI-native operations. You'll lead a team of Account Executives who serve as trusted strategic advisors to their portfolios - growing revenue through consultative upsell, deepening adoption, and ensuring every customer realizes maximum value from Glean. Working closely with Customer Success, AIOM, Deployment, Product, and Marketing, your team will identify expansion opportunities, mitigate retention risks, and turn customer outcomes into customer growth.

You will: Lead the Installbase AE team. Recruit, coach, and develop a team of 6 fully-ramped Corporate Installbase AEs who own the full post-sale commercial cycle - renewal, upsell, and cross-sell - across their portfolios. Own the renewal and expansion number. Deliver against Gross Dollar Retention (GDR), Growth ARR (GAR), and Annual Total Renewable (ATR) targets across the Corporate installbase. Partner closely with the Corporate New-Logo leadership team to ensure a seamless handoff at close. Build the installbase playbook from the ground up.

Drive proactive retention. Coach the team to identify and mitigate retention risks early, maintaining high customer satisfaction while protecting the base as it grows. Unlock new use cases. Equip your AEs to partner with customers on identifying new use cases and surfaces to expand Glean's footprint - turning adoption and value realization into expansion opportunities. Drive multi-threading and executive selling. Coach reps to convert user-level champions into budget owners and to run renewal-and-expansion conversations at the CFO/CIO altitude. Run a tight operating cadence. Forecasting, pipeline reviews, deal inspection, MEDDPICC discipline, and crisp paper process on every renewal. Shorten the gap between adoption signal and commercial outcome. Partner cross-functionally. Work hand-in-hand with AIOM, Deployment, Customer Success, RevOps, Marketing, and Product to fix imperfectly-deployed accounts, accelerate value realization, and turn under-deployed customers into expansion opportunities. Serve as the voice of the customer. Synthesize feedback from your team's accounts and convey market needs back to Product, Deployment, and GTM leadership to inform the roadmap and the broader installbase strategy. Hire ahead of the curve. Calibrate sourcing with Recruiting on a profile that is distinct from the standard Corporate AE - sellers with real renewal + expansion quota-carrying experience, commercial negotiation muscle, and AI fluency. Set the cultural bar. Embody Glean's six Sales Team Core Behaviors - Passion for Sales, Grit, Coachability, Growth Orientation, Process Focus, and Driven to Win - and hold the team to that standard. GDR improvement versus the FY26 baseline. Grow ARR uplift from the Corporate installbase. Time returned to greenfield AEs — measurably less post-sales drag on the New Logo team.

Proven track record of consistently exceeding both retention (GDR/NRR) and expansion (GAR/NRR) targets on an existing-customer book. Strong combination of consultative sales acumen and relationship management skills - you've grown accounts through strategic upsell while maintaining high retention rates.

Strong command of value-based selling and sales methodologies (MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, Challenger, or similar). Operational rigor: you run tight forecasts, inspect deals at the right altitude, and turn data (usage telemetry, adoption signals, account health) into commercial action. Demonstrable AI fluency - repeatable workflows where you use AI to make yourself and your team faster and smarter. This is a first-class hiring dimension at Glean. A builder's mentality: you're energized by standing things up, not just running what already exists. Coachable, growth-oriented, and gritty.
