Trusted by nearly 7,500 customers, including 75 of the Fortune 500, Druva helps safeguard the critical information and systems businesses depend on in an increasingly connected world.

This role sits on a highly collaborative, performance-driven Commercial sales team focused on helping customers modernize data protection and cyber resilience with Druva's 100% SaaS platform. The Account Executive owns the territory end-to-end, maintaining and expanding existing customer relationships while actively hunting and closing net-new logos.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on territory ownership, values teamwork, and enjoys building durable customer relationships while driving new growth.

You will own and execute the go-to-market strategy for the assigned Commercial territory, managing a defined book of business while identifying, prospecting, and closing new customer opportunities across organizations with 251–2,999 employees.

You will build trusted relationships with IT and security leaders by understanding their business challenges and aligning them to Druva's cloud-native data protection and cyber resilience platform. Partnering closely with a dedicated local Systems Engineer, you will lead discovery, technical validation, and solution design to clearly articulate the value of a SaaS-based approach.

You will collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Channel Partners, and internal teams to support onboarding, adoption, renewals, and expansion, while building pipeline, forecasting accurately, and consistently delivering against revenue targets.
