Job Summary

The Senior Account Executive will be the first Go-To-Market hire in the region and will own the full new business sales cycle across the EU/UK market, where FusionAuth already has an established and growing customer base. This is a strategic, field-based role that requires a seasoned seller who can operate with high autonomy, accelerate momentum in an active region, and expand our footprint across new accounts and verticals. You’ll drive new logo acquisition by working warm prospects from Marketing and Community Outreach programs and by executing a disciplined outbound prospecting motion. We expect Senior AEs to close 8-10 deals per quarter.

Our target customers are often technical (developers, engineers, CTOs) and nearly all sales engagements will involve deep technical discovery. Senior AEs are expected to bring deep industry and product expertise to every engagement, partnering closely with sales engineers. You will own full responsibility for qualification, forecasting, and closing business across your territory. Given the independent nature of this role, a demonstrated ability to self-manage, set strategy, and execute without day-to-day oversight is essential.

You will report directly to the Director of Sales and work remotely within your EU/UK region. You will have a direct hand in shaping our regional go-to-market approach and contributing to the continued growth of an already active European market. This is a role for a senior seller who wants to build something and ultimately grow into a leadership role in the region.
