This role is for an Account Executive focused on Large Enterprise clients at Zapier. The primary responsibility is to own the entire sales cycle for these accounts, driving strategic adoption of Zapier's automation and integration solutions. The role requires a deep understanding of APIs, AI, and automation technologies, and the ability to articulate their business value to executives and technical stakeholders.
