What the job involves

- As a Senior Corporate Sales Rep, you’ll own the sales process from discovery through close, partner closely with Sales Engineering, and engage technical and business stakeholders to position CockroachDB as a strategic solution for mission-critical workloads
- You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, contribute to pipeline strategy, and serve as a role model for strong sales execution within the Corporate segment
- Be responsible for driving all sales motions (prospect-to-close) for a defined revenue tier. This will include responding to lead generation efforts, conducting demos, developing customer relationships, and closing the opportunity
- Lead compelling presentations of CockroachDB’s product and vision to a broad range of audiences from C-level executives to individual contributors

- 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 CockroachDB can help solve them
- After six months, you will have at least 5x your quota in the pipeline and will have several active POCs in process
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Cockroach Labs was founded by a team of ex-Google employees who wanted to build a database management system similar to Google’s Spanner. The result is CockroachDB, an open-source, distributed SQL database that delivers familiar SQL, strong consistency, and near-indestructible fault tolerance. Designed to scale locally or globally and deployed on any cloud or on-prem setup, it keeps mission-critical applications running even through hardware failures or full data-center outages.
A major milestone in the company's growth is its partnership with IBM ,which integrates CockroachBD into IBM's hybrid infrastructure. This makes it far easier for long-standing mainframe users to modernize without rewriting massive amounts of code. Running CockroachDB on systems like LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations adopt cloud-native architectures while staying in environments they trust. At the same time, enterprise demand is surging and the company is boasting significant year-on-year growth in new customers, ARR, and cloud adoption.
As applications become more global, always-on, and increasingly AI-driven, businesses need databases built for scale, resilience, and zero downtime. And CockroachDB was engienered for exaclt ythat. With a decade of innovation, expanding enterprise traction, and a leadership team experienced in scaling high-growth tech companies, Cockroach Labs is set to power the next generation of mission-critical applications.
