What the job involves
- Our Account Executives target and close new business with some of today’s most innovative companies. In this role, you’ll both nurture inbound leads in your territory with marketing-led support as well as prospect into a target list of select accounts.
- You will do this by driving opportunities through the entire sales cycle from pipeline generation to closure, employing a value-oriented sales methodology with a focus on use cases spanning customer data and marketing activation.
- The ideal candidate will have the aptitude and passion for becoming an expert in Prophecy’s product capabilities, business impact, and competitive advantages and loves to build long-lasting relationships with customer needs at the center

- In your first 30 days, you will learn about Prophecy and will be able to pitch the product proficiently. We believe that it is necessary for you to build this foundation so you can successfully engage with existing accounts and grasp the sales strategy. Upon completion of your first month, you will have built cross-functional relationships and will have started building your strategy for account penetration
- After three months, you'll have a sound plan for account strategy and mapping. You have started building relationships with several leaders across your region and are beginning to understand their challenges and how Prophecy can help solve them
- After six months, you will have 3x your quota in the pipeline and will have at least 3-6 POCs in process

Our take
Some reports suggest that data engineers can spend as little as 20% of their time actually analysing data - the rest is spent on administrative tasks like data cleaning and organization. It’s an issue that legacy data management systems are struggling to help enterprises stay on top of, according to Prophecy.
Prophecy has developed a data engineering platform that offers a low-code environment that runs in parallel to the code editor, meaning both analysts and engineers can easily toggle back and forth and collaborate on projects. The company also offers a compiler to help companies move their data pipelines onto the cloud.
This means that Prophesy’s offering straddles two rapidly accelerating trends that could see the company win big business. Firstly, the increasing number of companies looking to migrate to the cloud without the astronomical costs and risks that doing this independently can bring; and secondly, the rise of low/no-code driven by the high demand for (and general shortage of) developer talent. It’s helped the company onboard some key enterprise customers already, so with healthy funding under its belt, Prophesy is making confident first steps.
