About Outreach
 
Outreach, founded in 2014, is the only complete agentic AI platform for revenue teams.

World leading enterprise organizations use Outreach to power their revenue teams, including Databricks, SAP, Siemens, and Verizon to name a few.

About the Team
Our Commercial Account Executive team is a group of curious, driven sales professionals who believe that growing together makes everyone better. We win as a team; sharing playbooks, championing each other's customers, and bringing genuine curiosity to the craft of selling. Whether it's a podcast, a case study, or a post-mortem on a deal, we're always learning. We celebrate wins together, hold each other accountable, and show up as true ambassadors for Outreach, inside and outside the building.
 
The Role
The primary purpose of an Account Executive at Outreach is to manage complex, full-life cycle sales strategy for new accounts. You are responsible for leading the entire sales cycle; researching, prospecting, advising, negotiating contracts, and closing deals across companies with 10 to 1,000 employees. You are accountable for developing account plans using the MEDDPICC sales methodology to build new business and achieve your territory goals. You are able to identify and deeply understand a prospect's needs, pains, and desired business outcomes to build an effective business case that demonstrates ROI and the value proposition of the Outreach platform. Your primary points of contact at prospective new customers are above-the-line contacts (CRO, COO, CEO, CFO, and CISO). Key performance indicators include quota attainment, pipeline generation and coverage, and forecast quality and accuracy.
Elite revenue teams are rethinking how they sell and you'll be the one who shows them the way forward. We're an AI-forward team, embedding AI across our own GTM workflows and bringing that same mindset to every customer conversation. We're looking for sellers with a growth mindset who use AI to work smarter, engage deeper, and close with confidence.
