We’re builders at heart, and we’re looking for builders who want to expand what’s possible in Airtable and what the world can build with it.

As a Sales Manager for Strategic Accounts, you’ll own the performance of a team selling into some of the world’s largest organizations. You’ll be responsible for delivering ambitious revenue goals, hiring and developing exceptional Account Executives, and getting directly involved in the accounts and deals where your judgment and experience can make a difference.

If you’re excited by the challenge of building a high-performing team while staying close to the business, you’ll thrive here. You’ll be a trusted partner to senior customer executives, help your team navigate its most important opportunities, and work across Airtable to turn what you learn from customers into better ways of selling, operating, and ultimately serving them.

• You combine strategic thinking with operational rigor. You can see the bigger picture while staying close to pipeline, forecasting, account strategy, and the details that ultimately drive performance.
