Account Executive

The Role

ThoughtSpot is a multiproduct Data & AI platform that helps companies turn data into Enterprise Advantage. We are Gartner MQ leaders with more than 1,000 customers globally and offices in San Francisco, Mountain View, Chicago, London, Bangalore, Sydney and Tokyo.

We have launched a new product in our portfolio, AgentSpot , and we are building a zero-to-one sales team . AgentSpot is a Multiplayer AI platform that enables anyone to build, share and collaborate with AI agents connected to a company's data, context and tools. Unlike single-player AI assistants, AgentSpot gives teams the shared context, integrations and governance to build and run reliable agentic AI workflows across the business.

We are looking for Account Executives to join the AgentSpot team at ThoughtSpot. This is a B2B SaaS sales role for someone who knows how to close new business, create pipeline and sell innovative technology. The ideal candidate has 4+ years of closing experience , uses AI and AI tools every day , and wants to help bring a new AI product to market from its earliest days.

You’ll work with commercial companies of all sizes and teams across HR, finance, sales, marketing and operations, helping them move from their first free AI agents to a company‑wide AI workforce on AgentSpot. This is a relationship business, not a transactional one — the champions you close today are the ones you’ll grow into company‑wide deployments a year from now, so how you show up matters as much as what you close.

We’re looking for someone who is curious, coachable, driven and excited to help shape the sales playbook while contributing to a high‑performing team. Nobody on this team waits to be told what to do — Empowerment + Accountability = Excellence , and on a zero-to-one team you’ll feel that every day.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full sales cycle , from prospecting and discovery through demos, negotiation and closing.
• Expand customers from one team's AI agents to more teams, more agents and more ARR.
• Build and execute account and territory plans to identify greenfield opportunities and create a consistent pipeline of qualified prospects.
• Navigate complex organizational structures and identify executive sponsors, champions and decision‑makers .
• Research and understand customer business objectives and run a value‑driven, consultative sales process — we work for the people on the other side of the deal, not just the logo.
• Learn, pitch and demonstrate a highly technical AI software product and connect its capabilities to real customer workflows and business outcomes.
• Collaborate with internal partners across Sales, Marketing, Product and Customer Success to move opportunities forward and ensure customer success.
• Consistently deliver ARR and revenue targets through a metrics‑driven approach. Every deal is your Super Bowl.
• Develop and execute sales strategies and tactics to generate pipeline, drive sales opportunities and deliver repeatable, predictable growth.
• Bring customer feedback and market insights back to Product and help shape the AgentSpot roadmap and sales motion.

What You Bring

• You are a zero-to-one builder who is excited by the opportunity to help create a new AI sales motion.
• 4+ years of Account Executive, B2B SaaS or technology sales experience , with a track record of closing new business and achieving quota.
• Experience owning a full‑cycle sales process , including outbound prospecting, pipeline generation, discovery, product demos, negotiation and closing.
• Experience selling SaaS, cloud software, enterprise software, AI software or other technical products .
• You understand, build and use AI agents and are genuinely curious about agentic AI, generative AI and emerging AI technology .
• You are comfortable learning, pitching and demonstrating a highly technical product in a fast‑growing and constantly changing environment.
• Clear examples of closing complex deals and selling into complex organizations .
• A repeatable approach to outbound prospecting, pipeline generation, greenfield opportunity creation and territory development .
• You move fast and don't need a large team or detailed instructions to get something done — you take ownership and run.
• A growth mindset and a desire to help build a new product, sales strategy and go‑to‑market motion .
• We care about what you’ve closed, not your title or years of experience.

AI Mindset for Account Executives

• Build and run your own AgentSpot agents to research accounts, prep calls and automate follow‑up.
• Use product usage signals and AI‑driven insights to prioritize the free teams and prospects most ready to buy.
• Personalize outreach and demos around each prospect’s actual tools and workflows.
• Experiment with emerging AI and automation tools to improve productivity, pipeline generation and sales effectiveness, and share what works.

• Continuously learn and adapt as the agent landscape and best practices change.
