Your goal will be to build and scale a world-class Enterprise Sales organisation across the West Coast - coaching a team of high-performing Enterprise AEs to win complex, multi-stakeholder deals while building a repeatable, predictable engine in one of the most strategically important regions for n8n.

To make that happen, you'll be hands‑on in deal strategy, customer exec engagement, and day‑to‑day coaching—raising the bar on how we qualify, forecast, and win.
