Our customers are navigating significant change, including sustainability pressures, labor and supply-chain challenges, rapid technological advancement and increasing digital complexity. Global Expansion Sales helps them unlock greater value from Autodesk by uncovering new opportunities, expanding adoption and connecting Autodesk solutions to their most important business priorities.
As a Major Account Executive in Global Expansion Sales, you will lead Autodesk’s growth strategy across a focused portfolio of our highest-value Major customers.
The role is designed around deep coverage of a small number of priority accounts. The core design target is approximately seven highest-value Major accounts, while total modeled books can be broader by Geo as additional accounts are assigned around the core portfolio.
You will operate as a senior business partner to the customer, bringing a hunter mindset to existing relationships: creating new demand, uncovering substantial whitespace, opening new buying centers and expanding Autodesk into strategic workflows, business units and transformation initiatives.
You will be expected to lead complex, high-value enterprise sales cycles, including seven-figure opportunities and multi-year commercial agreements, while orchestrating the broader Autodesk ecosystem around a common customer strategy. Success will be measured through sustained expansion growth, material pipeline creation, increased share of wallet, executive sponsorship, customer outcomes and forecast accuracy.
- Own and lead the multi-year growth and expansion strategy for assigned Major customers.
- Develop deep knowledge of each customer’s business model, strategic objectives, operating environment, industry dynamics and transformation agenda.
- Establish a clear point of view on where Autodesk can create differentiated business value for the customer.
- Identify significant whitespace across business units, geographies, workflows, technology estates, user communities and executive priorities.
- Create demand and originate large strategic opportunities, including seven-figure deals and opportunities that may not yet exist in the customer’s formal buying process.
- Build relationships across new buying centers while deepening trusted relationships with existing stakeholders.
- Develop C-suite and senior executive sponsorship across business and technology functions.
- Bring external market, industry and customer insight into executive conversations, with relevant knowledge of Autodesk’s Design and Make industries.
- Translate customer strategy into compelling multi-year value propositions, transformation roadmaps and business cases.
- Lead complex, high-value and potentially multi-year sales cycles involving multiple business, technical, procurement, finance and legal stakeholders.
- Develop and execute competitive strategies to win strategically significant new workloads and displace incumbent technologies.
- Navigate sophisticated commercial arrangements and seven-figure negotiations with strong business and financial acumen.
- Mobilize Autodesk’s executive leadership and broader organization around a unified account strategy.
- Orchestrate Technical Sales, Customer Success, Industry, Partners, Marketing, Professional Services and other specialists at the appropriate stages of the customer journey.
- Develop strategic ecosystem and partner relationships that increase Autodesk’s impact and relevance.
- Maintain executive-level governance around opportunities, risks, dependencies and account priorities.
- Apply account-planning, relationship-mapping, customer intelligence, forecasting and AI-enabled tools responsibly to support multi-year account strategy, executive engagement and opportunity governance.
- Maintain rigorous pipeline quality and deliver accurate, evidence-based forecasts.
- Represent the voice of the customer within Autodesk while bringing relevant Autodesk innovation, capability and thought leadership back to the customer.
Sustained strategic revenue growth; creation and conversion of substantial new whitespace; increased Autodesk share of wallet; expansion into strategically important workloads and business initiatives; deep C-suite sponsorship; successful execution of seven-figure opportunities; strong multi-year account strategies; competitive displacement; measurable customer outcomes; and consistently high-quality forecasting.
- 9+ years demonstrated success leading complex enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud or strategic software sales.
- Proven record of creating and closing significant opportunities within large, complex customer organizations, including experience with seven-figure deals or comparable commercial complexity.
- Demonstrated ability to create demand and develop major opportunities rather than simply manage an existing pipeline.
- Strong C-suite presence with the ability to engage credibly on business, industry and transformation priorities.
- Exceptional strategic account-planning and whitespace-development capability.
- Strong business and financial acumen and ability to build compelling economic and strategic business cases.
- Experience leading sophisticated multi-stakeholder and multi-year sales processes.
- Strong competitive selling, negotiation and commercial leadership capability.
- Demonstrated ability to lead large virtual teams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.
- Exceptional communication, storytelling and executive presentation skills.
- High standards of commercial judgment, accountability, pipeline management and forecasting.
- Demonstrated fluency with CRM, strategic account-planning, relationship-mapping, pipeline and forecasting platforms. Experience with Salesforce, Clari, Altify or comparable platforms is valued.
- Deep knowledge of a relevant Autodesk Solution Group industry - AEC, Manufacturing or Media & Entertainment - where appropriate to the assigned customer portfolio.
- Experience selling enterprise platforms, cloud technology or large-scale transformation solutions.
- Experience navigating complex multinational customer organizations.
- Demonstrated success developing multi-year executive relationships and transformation programs.
- Track record of strategic competitive displacement and significant share-of-wallet growth.
