Position: Account Executive – Commercial (Cloud & Colocation Sales)

The Account Executive, Commerical is an in-market, quota-carrying seller who focuses on new logos and high-growth customers. You cover mid-market and upper-commercial customers within an assigned geographic territory, selling the full client stack: cloud, colocation, disaster recovery, and services as a trusted local resource.

This is a hunter-first role for a seller who owns their territory, shows up in their market, and runs a disciplined, consultative, multi-stakeholder sales process from first meeting to signed order.

Pipeline and territory ownership
  • Own an assigned geographic territory: build a written territory plan, identify target accounts, and execute a disciplined outbound motion.
  • Generate pipeline through outbound prospecting, executive networking, referrals, industry events, and partner engagement; supplement with inbound and marketing-sourced leads.
  • Maintain an active pipeline of at least 3–4x annual quota with rigorous stage discipline and forecast accuracy in Salesforce.
  • Be visible in-market: attend local technology, industry, and channel events; host customer meetings and facility tours on a regular cadence.
  • Sell the full client’s portfolio as an integrated solution to the customer’s business problem.
  • Lead multi-stakeholder sales cycles across IT, application, security, finance, and executive buyers; qualify with a repeatable methodology (MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, or equivalent).
  • Partner with Solutions Engineers & Architects on discovery, design, pricing, and executive presentations; own commercial strategy, negotiation, and close.
  • Prepare accurate quotes, proposals, and MSAs, drive contracts through legal, procurement, and security review.
  • Consistently meet or exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual bookings and revenue quotas.
Account management and growth
  • Retain and expand existing accounts through structured Quarterly Business Reviews, executive alignment, and proactive whitespace planning.
  • Coordinate with operations, service delivery, and customer success so the customer’s experience matches the promise made in the sales cycle.
Partner and channel motion
  • Build and maintain relationships with partners active in the territory: VARs, MSPs, agents, consultants, and hyperscaler field teams.
  • Co-sell with partners where it accelerates the deal or expands account access; recruit and enable new partners as the territory demands.
WHAT YOU BRING
  • 5+ years of quota-carrying B2B sales experience selling colocation, cloud, managed services, network, or adjacent infrastructure.
  • A track record of meeting or exceeding quota in a new-logo and expansion environment.
  • Experience running complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with average deal sizes appropriate to the market (typically $10K–$100K MRR / six-to-seven figure annual TCV).
  • A strong local network in the assigned territory across IT leadership, channel partners, and industry communities.
  • Fluency in a modern sales methodology (MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, Challenger, Sandler, or equivalent) and disciplined use of Salesforce for pipeline and forecast management.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to technical practitioners through the C-suite.
NICE TO HAVE
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • Experience selling both colocation and cloud / managed services in an integrated portfolio.
  • Prior success selling into regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, public sector) or against national providers.
  • Established relationships with partner field teams, national channel partners, or regional MSP communities.
TOOLS YOU’LL USE
  • Salesforce for pipeline, forecast, and account planning; disciplined data hygiene expected.
  • Sales engagement (6

    Sense), conversation intelligence, and prospecting tools (Zoom Info, Linked In Sales Navigator).
  • MS 365: strong Excel and PowerPoint for account planning and executive materials.
TRAVEL
  • In-market and customer-facing. Expect up to 50% travel within the assigned territory, including regular daily commutes, overnight stays, and multi-day trips for customer meetings, facility tours, and events.
COMPENSATION
  • Competitive base salary plus performance-based variable compensation tied to quota…
