Senior Enterprise Account Executive

ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot · Data AI · Distributed, United States

This role is for a Senior Enterprise Account Executive at ThoughtSpot, a company that sells Business Intelligence and Analytics applications. The primary focus is on selling software to enterprise organizations. While the role heavily emphasizes the use of generative AI and advanced automation tools to personalize customer engagements, analyze data, and optimize sales strategies, the core craft of the role is sales, not building or shipping AI models or agents. The company itself is scaling its AI capabilities and expects all employees to be AI-literate and integrate AI tools into their daily workflows.
