Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Sr. Account Executives don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• Proven success selling enterprise SaaS to VP and C-level stakeholders at ASX Top 100 companies, including Financial Services
• Demonstrated ability to run complex solution sales motions with large buying groups across business and IT
• Strong track record of pipeline generation, account planning, and consistent quota overachievement across the ANZ Region
• Deep familiarity with value selling, MEDDPICC, and strategic forecasting methodologies

Nice-to-haves

• Experience selling in competitive SaaS environments (e.g., product analytics, data/AI, digital adoption platforms)
• Expertise in developing territory strategy and owning PG end-to-end
• Exposure to AI/ML or data-focused customer conversations
