You keep the team aligned, the deal strategy clear, and the process moving with urgency and discipline.
• Executive relationship building: Build and maintain strong relationships across the C-suite, IT, and business leadership within organizations of 1,500+ employees. You understand stakeholder priorities and connect Pendo's value to meaningful business outcomes.
• Value-based selling: Lead sales cycles focused on solving meaningful business problems and supporting digital transformation initiatives. You shape the value narrative, guide customers through complex decisions, and position Pendo as a strategic partner.

Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.

You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Account Directors don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.

You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• Proven track record of success in enterprise software sales, including SaaS or application software, selling into organizations with 1,500+ employees.
• Experience using MEDDPICC and/or Force Management to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
• Demonstrated ability to generate pipeline independently through strategic prospecting and account development.
• Experience leading cross-functional deal teams across Solutions Engineering, Legal, Customer Success, and executive stakeholders to close enterprise agreements.
• Comfort using AI tools to improve sales efficiency, preparation, and customer engagement.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment where you navigated ambiguity and built new processes or approaches.
• Success selling emerging or innovative technologies that required educating the market and shaping the value narrative.
• A track record of perseverance and resilience in professional or personal pursuits.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers and contribute to the overall development of the sales organization.
