Account Director, Tableau Local Gov

Our Enterprise Business team focuses on working with exciting existing and growing organizations in the local government space supporting the northeastern half of the US.

Tableau

As the market-leading choice for modern Analytics, everything we do is driven by our mission to help people see and understand data, which is why our products are designed to put the user first—whether they’re an analyst, data scientist, student, teacher, executive, or business user. From connection through collaboration, Tableau is the most powerful, secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics platform.

Day to Day

• Our Prime Named Enterprise Account Executives engage with existing customers and new leads to sell the entire Tableau platform.

• Manage complex sales-cycles and present to C-level executives the value proposition of Tableau platform.


• Define and complete territory / account sales plans for assigned territory and then meet and exceed sales goals (quotas) through prospecting, qualifying, managing and closing sales opportunities.


• Develop and manage sales pipeline, prospect and assess sales and move a large number of transactions simultaneously through the sales pipeline.

Required Experience

• 7+ years of quota carrying software or technology sales and account management experience; ideally focused on large enterprise K-12 accounts.


• Work well within a team of various partners within a matrixed environment (Account Executives, Solution Engineers, Sales Leaders, Executives, etc.).


• Highly driven individual with a focus on execution, strong sense of urgency and a belief in our Tableau mission.


• A mix of business curiosity combined with a technical ability to truly address customer data challenges and earn trust.


• Solution selling mentality: develop a plan and solution, articulate value, and navigate complexities of our customers to drive revenue.

Education
