Full Job Description
We're hiring a Strategic Account Executive to own a small number of our most important customers and start relationships with a few new prospective customers.

This is a high-leverage, high-context role closing company-defining deals, not a volume sales position. You'll partner with companies who are building real products on top of Roboflow and doing amazing things with Vision AI. You'll understand their technical and business goals, help shape their Vision AI strategy, and drive meaningful expansion across teams, use cases, and production environments.

You are not just closing deals, you are helping customers accelerate Vision AI into production at scale.

What You'll Do
  • Own and grow a small set of high-impact, strategic accounts
  • Build deep, multi-threaded relationships across engineering, product, and executive stakeholders
  • Identify and drive new use cases from initial pilots to full production rollouts
  • Lead complex, technical sales cycles (often multi-quarter, multi-stakeholder)
  • Partner closely with Field Engineering and Product to shape solutions and unblock deals
  • Develop and execute account plans that drive long-term expansion (not just one-off transactions)
  • Navigate procurement, security, and legal processes with large enterprises
  • Act as the voice of the customer - influencing product direction and our GTM strategy
  • Help define how we sell to strategic customers, not just execute a playbook


What We're Looking For
  • 7 - 10+ years of experience in SaaS sales, with a focus on strategic accounts
  • Proven track record of closing and expanding large, complex deals (7+ figure ACV)
  • Experience selling technical products (developer tools, AI/ML, data infrastructure, APIs, etc.)
  • Comfortable engaging with both engineers and executives
  • Strong ability to navigate ambiguity and build adaptive strategy
  • Demonstrated success in multi-threaded account management
  • High ownership mindset - you don't wait for direction, you create it
  • Clear, concise communicator who can translate technical concepts into business value plainly
What Success Looks Like
  • Your accounts expand across multiple teams and use cases
  • Customers move from experimentation 12 production 12 global scale
  • You are viewed as a trusted advisor by both engineering leaders and executives
  • You consistently drive large, high-quality expansions aligned with customer's business goals
