Enterprise Account Executive

Notion Notion · Enterprise · San Francisco, CA · Sales

This role is for an Enterprise Account Executive at Notion, focusing on selling Notion's AI-enhanced productivity platform to large organizations. The role involves leading strategic engagements, building executive relationships, navigating complex sales cycles, and collaborating with internal teams to close high-impact deals. While the product has AI built-in and the role requires a hands-on orientation with AI tools, the core function is sales, not AI/ML development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own a territory or named-account book and lead end-to-end enterprise sales cycles (net-new and expansion).
  2. Build and maintain executive-level relationships and champions; multi-thread across business and technical stakeholders.
  3. Run structured discovery and account planning to identify priority workflows, expansion vectors, and risk.
  4. Deliver tailored demos and executive narratives; guide customers through technical validation and enterprise readiness.
  5. Orchestrate security reviews, legal redlines, procurement, and complex stakeholder alignment.

Skills

Required

  • 8–15+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying experience selling enterprise software
  • Strong executive communication and ability to navigate complex org structures.
  • Experience selling to technical buyers (CIO, CTO, VP of Product, VP of Engineering) and aligning product capabilities to both technical requirements and business outcomes.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multi-stakeholder diligence (security, legal, procurement) and keep momentum through ambiguity.
  • High agency and resilience: you create planful motion, learn quickly, and drive outcomes.
  • Hands-on orientation with AI and modern workflows; you’re curious and adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity — as Notion expands you’ll help refine our Enterprise motion (outbound, partner, and expansion plays), build repeatable process, and bring sharp customer feedback into how we scale.

Nice to have

  • Experience selling products with usage-based / consumption pricing models.
  • Experience with developer tooling, APIs, data platforms, infrastructure, or AI/agentic products.
  • Prior experience in enterprise expansion motions (land-and-expand) and navigating global accounts.
