The Objective: build the pipeline and close enterprise deals

Hilbert is hiring its first Account Executive in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). You carry a quota and build the pipeline that turns ANZ into a market: new enterprise clients in retail, direct-to-consumer (D2C), ecommerce, telco and financial services. You sell to the C-Suite executives who own growth: chief marketing, customer and digital officers, and their CFOs.

What you'll do

• Build your own pipeline from target accounts, outbound, events and partner referrals.
• Run the sale end to end: discovery, product demo, business case, commercials and contract.
• Partner with the Solutions Engineer, who owns the technical evaluation and solution design.
• Close paid PoCs (Proof of Concept) with one agreed metric and a path to an annual contract.
• Convert PoCs into annual recurring revenue (ARR) at or above target gross margin.
• Grow each account after launch with the Forward Deployed Engineer: the next use case, or business unit.
• Keep the forecast honest: every deal in the CRM with a next step and a date.
• You are measured on new ARR, PoC to ARR conversion, and qualified pipeline built.

What you bring

• A record of carrying and beating a quota in enterprise software, closing six-figure deals with C-suite buyers.
• You have sold data, analytics, AI / ML SaaS to C-Suite across retail, e-Commerce, DTC, banking and telecoms. 
• A network across ANZ retailers, consumer brands, telcos or banks.
• You have built a territory from zero, without an established brand behind you.
• You have run long sales cycles through procurement, security and legal.
• Right to work in Australia.

Nice to have

• Sales to organisations regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
• Experience at a customer data platform (CDP), martech or data platform vendor.
• First seller in a new region for a startup.

Reporting and location

You report to the Head of GTM APAC. You are based in Sydney, with around 30 percent travel across Australia and New Zealand.

1. Recruiter screen, 30 minutes.

4. Mock discovery, 45 minutes, with the Solutions Engineer and hiring manager playing a client executive.
5. Founder conversation, 30 minutes, and references: two from clients, one from a former manager.
