Account Executive, Mid-market Sydney

Notion Notion · Enterprise · Sydney, Australia · Sales

Account Executive for Notion's Mid-Market segment in Sydney, driving new customer acquisition and expansion. This role requires a full-cycle seller experienced in discovery, demos, navigating technical stakeholders, and closing complex opportunities with an outbound mindset. The AE will work with buyers like CIO, CTO, VP Product, and VP Engineering, and needs strong product fluency in technical use cases including AI/agentic workflows. The role emphasizes an outbound-first mentality, owning the full sales cycle, running high-quality discovery calls, delivering tailored demos, navigating commercial requirements, and forecasting accurately. Required skills include 4-7+ years of closing experience, fluency in English, experience selling to technical buyers, outbound discipline, ability to run multi-threaded deals, high agency, and hands-on familiarity with AI for personal workflow improvement. Nice-to-haves include experience with usage-based pricing, prior exposure to developer tooling/APIs/data/infrastructure/AI products, and experience moving upmarket.

What you'd actually do

  1. An outbound-first mentality: proactively build net new pipeline and move quickly to create momentum within accounts.
  2. Own the full sales cycle, including prospecting, discovery, solution alignment, demoing, stakeholder management, negotiation, and close.
  3. Run high-quality discovery calls to uncover business outcomes and technical requirements, translating them into a clear value narrative.
  4. Deliver live demos and tailored storytelling to guide customers through evaluation, including light solution design as needed (workspace architecture, permissions, rollout approach, integrations) to unblock adoption.
  5. Navigate complex commercial-stage requirements (security, legal, procurement) with support from cross-functional partners.

Required

  • Fluency in English.

  • Outbound discipline, pipeline creativity and full-cycle sales capability, including discovery, demo and closing motions.

  • High agency and ownership: proactively creates momentum, solves problems, and earns trust across functions.
  • Hands-on orientation with AI: uses AI to improve personal workflow and can speak to modern AI-enabled work patterns.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity — as Notion expands across Sydney, you’ll help refine our Mid Market motion (outbound, partner, and expansion plays), build repeatable process, and bring sharp customer feedback into how we scale.
