About the Role

Join our rapidly growing Sales team where you will play an important role at one of the fastest growing companies in the Developer Security space.

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will be responsible for helping some of our largest clients and prospects to evaluate, purchase, and expand their usage of Tailscale as a solution to their company’s evolving networking, security, and compliance objectives. You will partner closely with the Solutions Engineering team, as well as collaborate with the Customer Success, Support, Marketing, and Product teams.

We're an energetic company with a wide variety of backgrounds. We coach each other, share feedback, and collaborate to maximize our performance and earning potential, all the while aligning with our customers' needs. We are one of the fastest-growing VC-backed Dev Tool companies and are looking for folks to help us get to our next stage of growth. You will join a team helping define the future of secure connectivity and modern networking. Tailscale's product-led growth has created significant enterprise demand from organizations looking to simplify network access, strengthen security, and accelerate developer productivity. As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will work with some of the world's most sophisticated technology organizations to help them modernize legacy networking and security infrastructure.

We are looking for enterprise sellers who know how to create opportunities, not just manage them. You are comfortable building executive relationships, navigating complex organizations, and earning credibility with both technical and business stakeholders. You understand how to translate technical capabilities into measurable business outcomes and can lead customers through transformational technology decisions.

Lead cross-functional account teams consisting of Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Support to deliver exceptional customer outcomes

What We Are Looking For

5+ years of closing experience in a sales role
Demonstrated success selling infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, cloud, developer tools, or other highly technical software solutions
Proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota in an enterprise sales environment
Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes involving technical and executive buyers
Ability to engage credibly with both technical practitioners and senior business leaders
Experience collaborating and working with a Sales Engineer on sales cycles
Strong account planning, discovery, and business case development skills
Experience closing six-figure enterprise opportunities is strongly preferred
Experience using Gong, or similar, to collaborate internally and manage pipeline
Location: Remote, but based in or near New York City as it supports customers and requires occasional travel/commute within the assigned region.

What Success Looks Like

Consistently exceed quota through a combination of self-generated pipeline, new customer acquisition, and account expansion
Establish trusted advisor relationships with Security, Infrastructure, and Engineering leaders
Successfully drive adoption from initial deployment to broader organizational standardization
Build a predictable pipeline through disciplined prospecting and strategic account development
