Job description

Are you a high-performing enterprise sales professional looking for a ground-floor opportunity to drive net-new acquisition in a booming market?

Canon U.S.A. is expanding its Enterprise division, and we are looking for a strategic Enterprise Account Executive to join our team in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this role, you will have complete ownership of a curated list of high-potential target accounts (starting greenfield), with a primary focus on penetrating Fortune 1000 commercial enterprises and capturing market share across Higher Education institutions.

We are seeking a forward-thinking hunter who leverages modern sales technologies (Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Account-Based Marketing, and AI research tools) to conduct deep account discovery, build executive relationships, and close complex, multi-stakeholder deals.

Your Impact

• Drive Net-New Acquisition: Relentlessly hunt and break into assigned Fortune 1000 commercial enterprises and Higher Education institutions across the regional territory.
• Build C-Suite Relationships: Develop strategic, multi-stakeholder account penetration plans to place Canon hardware, software, document workflow, and technology solutions.
• Execute Quality-Over-Quantity Strategy: Take complete ownership of a focused target account list, executing tailored account-based outreach rather than managing high-volume, unvetted lists.
• Leverage Modern Sales Tech: Conduct deep account research and outreach using Salesforce CRM, ZoomInfo, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) strategies, and AI research tools.

About You: The Skills & Expertise You Bring

• Proven Sales Track Record: Bachelor's degree required, plus 5+ years of B2B outside sales experience navigating complex, long-cycle enterprise sales.

• Modern Sales Tech Proficiency: Comfortable utilizing sales technology, including Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Google Workspace, and AI research tools to optimize prospecting.
• Core Characteristics: High autonomy, precise time management skills, strategic agility, a growth mindset with a strong eagerness to learn, and excellent communication skills.
• Industry Experience: Office technology or B2B tech background is preferred, but not required. We value proven enterprise hunting ability, strategic outreach skills, and grit above an industry-specific background.

What We Offer

• Anticipated Base Salary Range: $60,000 - $81,550 annually..
• Target Incentive Compensation: Eligible for incentive compensation under the terms of an applicable plan and/or policy.
• Perks: Monthly transportation allowance, eligible for merit-based sales achievement trips, comprehensive healthcare, 401(k) savings plan, discretionary profit sharing, discretionary success sharing, and educational assistance.
• Workstyle: Hybrid work schedule offering flexibility between remote work and local office or customer engagement.
