Role
Who you are
- We are open to sales professionals across multiple segments, including High Velocity, Mid-Market and Enterprise. Ideal candidates bring 1 to 7+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales experience, with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets. Experience selling into AEC, Energy, or other field-based or emerging industries is strongly valued
- Demonstrated ability to operate with autonomy, make high-stakes decisions, and deliver results in ambiguous or rapidly evolving environments
- Consultative, solution-oriented approach—skilled at uncovering needs, building consensus, and driving value at every stage of the sales cycle
- Exceptional communication, negotiation, and executive presence
- Proficiency with Salesforce, Outreach, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and an ability to quickly adopt new sales and AI tools

What the job involves
- As an Account Executive, you will be a partner to organizations across our core industries, including Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC), Energy, and emerging markets
- You will own a defined territory and/or portfolio of accounts, with a mandate to drive both expansion within existing customers and net‑new business
- This is a high‑impact, high‑autonomy role: you will shape account strategy, build stakeholder relationships, and deliver innovative solutions that redefine what’s possible in reality capture and field operations technology
- Beyond consistent quota attainment, success means navigating complex, consultative sales cycles, influencing multi‑stakeholder organizations, and leveraging cutting‑edge technology to drive measurable, real‑world outcomes
- Own and Drive Growth: Take ownership of your territory or book of business, developing and executing account strategies that deliver measurable revenue growth across expansion and new logo acquisition
- Account Leadership: Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders ranging from project leaders to C‑level executives, uncovering business challenges and architecting tailored solutions that maximize value and impact
- Autonomous Decision-Making: Exercise independent judgment in prioritizing opportunities, structuring deals, and navigating complex negotiations. You will have the latitude to make critical decisions that shape both customer outcomes and DroneDeploy’s market position
- Full Sales Lifecycle: Lead the entire customer journey—from prospecting and discovery through solution design, closing, onboarding, and ongoing expansion
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Product teams to deliver seamless, high-value experiences for your clients
- Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry and technology trends in reality capture, AI, and field operations, positioning DroneDeploy as the partner of choice for digital transformation across AEC, Energy, and emerging industries
- Outcome Focus: Consistently achieve or exceed quota, maintaining a robust 120-day rolling forecast and delivering results that move the needle for both your clients and DroneDeploy
