Enterprise Account Executive - West

Who We Are

Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI. Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data. That is the problem Atlan solves.

Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it. We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.

Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.

What You'll Own

• Run full-cycle, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles with sophisticated data and AI leaders (CDO, SVP of Data, CIO) at large accounts, backed by a base of roughly 400 enterprise customers.
• Self-generate pipeline across the West Coast (US). You own account strategy and deal orchestration end to end with BDR, Sales Engineer and Partner support.
• Build direct relationships with partner field teams (Snowflake, Databricks, and other ISVs/SIs). Atlan is partner-led but almost always closes direct contracts, so these are relationships you build yourself, not leads you passively receive.

What Makes You a Match

• You've carried a bag with a genuine AE track record. You're comfortable with technical nuance and can go deep with a CDO or CIO audience, whether that credibility comes from a Sales Engineer/technical background, a technical degree, or years of selling infrastructure-level products.
• You've successfully sold different technologies or into different buyer types across your career, whether that background is in enterprise application software, AI-native products, or infrastructure.
• You operate with high agency: you take action without being told, build your own messaging when there isn't a playbook yet, and aren't intimidated by gaps in your own knowledge.
• Ideally based in California, though we'll consider strong candidates elsewhere on the West Coast.

Compensation & Benefits

• Local Pay Range: $330,000 - $360,000 OTE USD (plus equity and full benefits package).
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.
• Flexible time off and leave policies.
• Global, remote-first, high-trust environment.
