About the role

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

In the last year we’ve grown our revenue 3x and built a small but mighty sales team. We’ve learned a lot, built some processes, and added many wonderful customers to the Retool community. Now we’re scaling our processes and looking for great Enterprise Account Executives to help our prospects and customers build internal tools quickly, and with less friction.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

We’re not slowing down and to help us reach our goals you’ll own a portion of Retool’s largest-by-revenue segment: enterprise. You and our Sales Development team will build your pipeline and you’ll collaborate with our deep bench of Sales Engineers to win six and seven figure deals. 

You’re comfortable running point on key deals, managing a book of business, and building a playbook for future team members. You’re adept at listening to, and engaging with, engineers—our buyers—and you have the know-how to navigate technical discussions and decisions. You’ll bring best practices, deep sales acumen, and a drive to close big deals quickly. 

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

You’ll work with our team of Sales Engineers (who are engineers themselves!), other Account Executives, and our SDR team. You’ll dive into sales forecasting meetings, partner with our sales leads, Head of Sales, CEO, and CTO to close banner deals, and work cross-functionally with Marketing and Engineering. 

You’ll be joining a broader team of Retools who are passionate about serving our customers, enjoy collaborating to build an incredibly innovative product, and partake in some occasional but well-intentioned sarcasm. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:

  • Identify and qualify leads and develop them into high-value opportunities
  • Build relationships and establish communications at the highest executive levels in your accounts to understand their needs and priorities, and to speed up and simplify the deal process
  • Own the closing process, including negotiations and procurement activities
  • Keep Salesforce up to date with customer information, forecasts, and pipeline data so we can learn more about our business and our sales process
  • Develop and execute a strategic plan to meet monthly, quarterly and annual revenue objectives
  • Work with technical stakeholders and executives to identify opportunities for Retool to accelerate Engineering within their org 
  • Partner with sales engineers and the executive team to create relationships within all levels of key accounts 
  • Collaborate with Engineering to identify and deploy new features to continuously increase the value of Retool

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING:

  • Experience hitting quota of $1M+ of ARR per year
  • A track record of success in driving consistent activity, pipeline development and quota achievement.
  • 5-8+ years of sales experience preferred with an emphasis on developer tools, cloud infrastructure, databases, and/or business intelligence
  • A solution-based approach to selling and the ability to manage a complex sales process.
  • Excellent presentation and listening skills, organization and contact management capabilities.
  • A hands-on approach to learning technical concepts and leading technical discussions with stakeholders of all levels

Retool is the fast way of building internal tools through our low-code drag-and-drop platform. We were founded in 2017 and graduated from YC the same year. Our Series A was led by Sequoia and we're backed by Daniel Gross ), John and Patrick Collison of Stripe, and Elad Gil, among others.

Why you should join Retool

Retool's a fast way of building internal tools (to manage deliveries, for customer support, etc.). We just hit profitability, have raised money from some great investors, including John + Patrick Collison (Stripe), Elad Gil (Color), Nat Friedman (Github), Greg Brockman (OpenAI), etc. We're looking to scale our engineering team from 15 people to around 25 this year.

Our thesis is that all internal tools have the same building blocks (tables, textinputs, dropdowns, etc.). So Retool gives you those building blocks, which you can combine and compose to make any sort of internal tool you might want. That's a lot faster than writing the same custom code, over and over again. Here's a 3 minute demo.

Our actual goal - though - is to build the future of programming. We think building boring, internal enterprise apps represents most of programming. And if you can make building these boring things a lot faster, you have a good shot at becoming what "comes after programming languages".
