Role Overview
As an Account Executive, you will be a partner to organizations across our core industries, including Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC), Energy, and emerging markets.

This is a high‑impact, high‑autonomy role: you will shape account strategy, build stakeholder relationships, and deliver innovative solutions that redefine what’s possible in reality capture and field operations technology.
Beyond consistent quota attainment, success means navigating complex, consultative sales cycles, influencing multi‑stakeholder organizations, and leveraging cutting‑edge technology to drive measurable, real‑world outcomes.

- Own and Drive Growth: Take ownership of your territory or book of business, developing and executing account strategies that deliver measurable revenue growth across expansion and new logo acquisition.
- Account Leadership: Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders ranging from project leaders to C‑level executives, uncovering business challenges and architecting tailored solutions that maximize value and impact.
- Autonomous Decision-Making: Exercise independent judgment in prioritizing opportunities, structuring deals, and navigating complex negotiations. You will have the latitude to make critical decisions that shape both customer outcomes and DroneDeploy’s market position.
- Full Sales Lifecycle: Lead the entire customer journey—from prospecting and discovery through solution design, closing, onboarding, and ongoing expansion.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Product teams to deliver seamless, high-value experiences for your clients.
- Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry and technology trends in reality capture, AI, and field operations, positioning DroneDeploy as the partner of choice for digital transformation across AEC, Energy, and emerging industries.

- We are open to sales professionals across multiple segments, including High Velocity, Mid-Market and Enterprise. Ideal candidates bring 1 to 7+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales experience, with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets. Experience selling into AEC, Energy, or other field-based or emerging industries is strongly valued.
- Demonstrated ability to operate with autonomy, make high-stakes decisions, and deliver results in ambiguous or rapidly evolving environments.
