Growth Account Executive

Airbyte is the data and action layer for AI agents. We give agents fast, accurate, authenticated access to business data across hundreds of sources, so they can discover the entities that matter, reason over real-time context, and take action in the systems they read from, not just observe them.

We started as the open-source standard for data movement and proved the economics of data integration at scale: hundreds of connectors, thousands of companies, and, since 2020, have raised $181M from leading investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. As our CEO Michel Tricot puts it, "the last ten years were all about structured data. The future is all about context." We're now building that context infrastructure for production-grade agents on the same open foundation, as agents become the primary consumers of enterprise data.

Our mission is unchanged: make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. That everyone now includes AI agents.

The Role:

Airbyte is seeking a Growth Account Executive to join our sales team. This individual will be charged with closing a list of accounts (inbound and outbound) across our different product lines.

This role will be primarily selling into the CTO / CIO organization with frequent interaction with Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Heads of Engineering, Developers, Data Scientists, etc. Foundational knowledge of cloud infrastructure, the modern data stack, API-based data connections, and database replication – or a demonstrated ability to pick up new industry knowledge quickly — is a necessity.

New business and small footprint deals will grow your client base, and overachievement will likely depend on landing & expanding from single departments to company-wide deployments. This is an opportunity to be an early part of a growing startup sales function with a strong product-led growth motion.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage the entire deal cycle on qualified leads through evaluation, POC, proposal, negotiation, and closed-won, tracking towards a quarterly bookings target (quota).

• Own relationship building and deal formulation across a book of business.

• Share in prospecting/outbound efforts.

• Act as a conduit for competitive intel, feature requests, and customer requirements to our product, marketing, executive, and engineering teams.

• Keep a clean, up-to-date pipeline that is 4x quarterly quota.

What You’ll Need:

• 2+ years of B2B sales experience within SaaS/cloud/data.

• Demonstrated history of quota attainment and overachievement.

• Excellent organizational, presentation, and communication skills.

• An optimistic, energetic attitude.

• Both a hunter and farmer mentality.

Location:
