The Role

This AE will own end-to-end account strategy and execution—building pipeline, closing complex deals, and expanding footprint across lines of business. Success requires a balance of hunting (net-new acquisition) and farming (expansion within existing accounts), with the ability to navigate enterprise organizations and drive multi-threaded engagement.

This is a high-impact, quota-carrying role focused on accelerating VAST’s penetration into the enterprise market.
