Job description

ThoughtSpot is a Data & AI platform that helps companies turn data into enterprise advantage. We're Gartner MQ leaders with more than 1,000 customers globally and offices in Mountain View, Chicago, London, Bangalore, Sydney, and Tokyo.

The Role:

ThoughtSpot is a Data & AI platform that helps companies turn data into enterprise advantage. We're Gartner MQ leaders with more than 1,000 customers globally and offices in San Francisco, Mountain View, Chicago, London, Bangalore, Sydney, and Tokyo. This role sits in our London office, hybrid.

ThoughtSpot started by giving humans a better way to ask questions of data. Spotter turned that into an AI analyst that can reason over governed enterprise data. Now, with AgentSpot, we're taking the next step from insight to action - giving teams the agents to not just understand their data, but act on it.

ThoughtSpot's portfolio - Spotter, ThoughtSpot Analytics, ThoughtSpot Embedded, and ThoughtSpot Mode - lets business users, analysts, and product teams get governed answers from live data and build on top of them. Unlike legacy BI tools that bury answers behind static dashboards and a backlog of report requests, ThoughtSpot gets a straight answer, in seconds, that’s grounded in real data.

We're looking for a Account Executive to own net-new growth across this portfolio. You'll have access to sales engineering, SDRs, marketing, and product from day one, plus ThoughtSpot's existing customer base and brand to open doors.

Your Goal: find the right commercial accounts, run a tight and repeatable sales process, and turn pipeline into closed-won revenue, quarter after quarter.

What You'll Do:

• Own your pipeline. Build and manage a full-cycle pipeline of commercial prospects, from first outbound touch to signed contract.
• Run the sales process. Qualify fast, demo well, and bring in sales engineering and product at the right moments to move deals forward.
• Work the territory. Combine outbound, inbound, partnerships, and your own network to find the accounts worth chasing.
• Close. Every deal matters. Negotiate terms, manage procurement and legal, and get signatures.
• Build champions. Turn buyers into advocates who renew, expand, and refer.
• Feed the machine. Share what's working — messaging, objections, competitive intel — back to sales, marketing, and product so the whole team gets sharper.

What You Bring:

• This is a high-ownership seat. You'll get ThoughtSpot's full GTM machine behind you, and the latitude to run your territory the way you see fit.
• You've carried and beaten a seven figure quota
• You can run a complex sales process — multiple stakeholders, technical buyers, real procurement — without losing momentum.
• You treat every deal like it's the one that matters. No coasting, no shortcuts on the close.
• You work for the customer, not the quarter — you build relationships people trust, not just signatures.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and don't wait to be told what to do.
• You understand data, analytics, or AI products well enough to speak credibly to technical and business buyers alike.
• You communicate clearly and directly — with customers and with your own team.
• We value what you've built and closed over your title or years of experience.

In-Office at ThoughtSpot
