Our team spans the US (NYC headquarters), Canada, and EMEA.

INVESTORS:

Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Role Overview

As an Enterprise Account Executive at Materialize, you are the commercial engine of a customer-facing team, owning pipeline generation, full-cycle deals, and expansion across a named account territory. You'll join a team of Account Executives working directly with our Head of Sales to engage engineering-led organizations building on Materialize to power AI agents, data-intensive applications, and real-time operational workflows for customers like Notion, General Mills, Bilt Rewards, and Crane Worldwide Logisitcs.

You own the deal from first call to close. In your first year, you'll build a pipeline of enterprise opportunities across inbound and outbound, close your first six-figure deals, and develop deep fluency in Materialize's technical differentiation and competitive positioning. This role is for someone who can hold a substantive conversation with Engineering leadership, thrives on complex technical sales cycles, and wants to own outcomes.

This role is based in our NYC office near Astor Place, with a minimum of 3 days per week in person.

Responsibilities

• Generate new business pipeline through inbound fielding and outbound into named target accounts and high-intent prospects
• Expand relationships in existing enterprise accounts, identifying and driving expansion opportunities across large organizations
• Lead complex sales cycles end-to-end: scoping, demonstrating, negotiating, and closing six- and seven-figure deals
• Sell mission-critical enterprise software to technical buyers — engineering executives, software architects, and development teams
• Collaborate with Field Engineering on technical positioning, POVs, and deal strategy
• Operate with MEDDPICC rigor and maintain strong Salesforce hygiene across your pipeline
• Travel roughly 25–30% to build in-person relationships with prospects and customers and represent Materialize at key industry events

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of enterprise software sales experience with a demonstrated track record of closing complex, six-figure deals to technical buyers; seven-figure deals a strong plus
• Currently or recently selling at a database company: you understand the buyer, the competitive landscape, and what it takes to win in this category
• You manage full-cycle enterprise sales: discovery, technical validation, negotiation, and close
• A demonstrated outbound muscle: you've built pipeline from scratch
• Comfortable engaging with C-suite and VP Engineering stakeholders, navigating complex procurement, and negotiating enterprise SaaS contracts
• You've operated in lean, early-stage environments: you take initiative, move without a large support structure, and work directly with leadership
• Proficient with Salesforce, Outreach, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Experience at a fast-growing startup is a plus

Location: NYC (hybrid, minimum 3 days/week at our Astor Place HQ)
