Role
Who you are
- You are a high-performing sales professional who believes great selling is about creating value through perspective
- You are comfortable challenging customers when it matters, pushing conversations forward, and introducing ideas that may feel uncomfortable but are ultimately in the customer’s best interest
- You thrive in environments where autonomy, accountability, and intellectual curiosity are expected
- You speak up when you see gaps, question assumptions, and enjoy being part of the solution
- You’re energized by complexity, technical conversations, and the opportunity to influence how customers think
- 2+ years owning full-cycle sales motions, including self-sourced outbound pipeline, from first prospecting touch through close
- This role is a fit for candidates whose closing experience included owning your own prospecting and pipeline creation, not just primarily inbound-led
- A technical foundation, with a working understanding of infrastructure, data systems, and the SaaS landscape
- Experience selling to technical buyers and navigating multi-stakeholder decision processes
- Comfort using modern sales tools such as Salesforce, Outreach, Zoom, Grafana, or similar
- Strong communication, storytelling, and negotiation skills, with the confidence to lead executive-level conversations
- The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
What the job involves
- As a Mid-Market Account Executive at Tiger Data, you will be a key driver of the company’s growth by leading insight-driven sales conversations with technical buyers
- You will take a strong point of view on how modern engineering teams should think about data and infrastructure, and you will confidently guide customers to rethink their current approach
- You will own complex sales engagements end to end — not by simply responding to customer requests, but by teaching, challenging assumptions, and taking control of the commercial process to deliver better outcomes for both the customer and Tiger Data
- Prospect to CTOs, Engineering Leaders, and technical end users with insight-led outreach that challenges how they currently approach their problems
- Take ownership of Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) by shaping the deal, not just progressing it
- Diagnose customer challenges and reframe them in a way that highlights risks, hidden costs, and missed opportunities in the status quo
- Manage the full sales cycle, confidently guiding stakeholders toward clear decisions
- Lead multi-stakeholder sales processes, tailoring your message to technical and business audiences
- Leverage Solutions Architects, Customer Success, and Support strategically
- Take control of deal strategy, next steps, and timelines to consistently close high-quality opportunities
Application process
- We respond to every applicant
- We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience
- We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey
- We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization
Our take
Timescale helps developers and businesses manage and analyze big data sets that power large-scale operations. It offers this through its own open-source time-series SQL database which, unlike many competitors, is built with PostgreSQL.
The product’s broad client applications include finance, logistics, and space. It serves hundreds of customers, with tens of thousands of other organizations using the TimescaleDB platform in the community (including companies like IBM, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Samsung, among others.)
Timescale has also landed substantial funding, becoming a Unicorn back in 2022. This all signifies the value that Timescale's platform provides. The company continues to grow, investing across product, engineering, and R&D, as well as broadening its efforts in serving the Timescale community.
