Position: Inside Account Executive

Inside Account Executive

We have an opportunity for an Inside Account Executive to join our Sales team, reporting to the Director, Regional Sales – Mid-Market. In this pivotal hybrid role you will be new-logo-focused within Infoblox's Mid Market, responsible for acquiring new mid-market customers while managing a small portfolio of approximately 15–20 existing strategic accounts. This is a true hunting position— roughly 80% of your time will be spent prospecting, building pipeline, and closing new business, with the remaining 20% dedicated to protecting and expanding your assigned accounts.

You'll be supported by a dedicated Solutions Architect, Channel Account Manager, and BDR.

What You’ll Do
  • Prospect into and close new mid-market logos within your assigned territory, building a pipeline through outbound efforts, channel partnerships, and BDR collaboration
  • Own the full sales cycle from initial outreach and discovery through negotiation and close
  • Run consultative, discovery-led sales conversations to uncover customer pain and position Infoblox solutions against incumbent or competitive environments
  • Manage a small book of ~15–20 existing accounts, driving renewals with uplift and identifying expansion opportunities, including Daybreak, UDDI migration, and Threat Defense/Axur adoption
  • Build territory plans that prioritize high-potential prospects and strategically sequence your pipeline
  • Work closely with Channel Account Managers and partners to co-sell, leverage deal registration, and build joint pipeline
  • Collaborate with Solutions Architects to deliver technical proof of value and build compelling business cases
  • Accurately forecast using Clari and maintain disciplined Salesforce hygiene across all opportunities
  • Meet or exceed quarterly and annual quota targets across both new logo and expansion revenue
  • Use AI-driven forecasting, customer engagement insights, and automation to improve pipeline visibility, maintain accurate CRM data, and scale personalized outreach across a large account portfolio
  • Leverage AI-powered account intelligence and sales tools to identify expansion opportunities, prioritize at-risk accounts, and uncover customer pain points before they impact renewals
What You Bring
  • 2–5 years of B2B sales experience with a track record of closing new business
  • Proven ability to prospect, build a pipeline, and manage a full sales cycle
  • Strong discovery and objection-handling skills — comfortable engaging IT directors, network engineers, and security leaders
  • Experience managing a defined territory with a strategic approach to account prioritization
  • Comfort with sales tools such as Salesforce, Clari, Salesloft, Linked In Sales Navigator, Zoominfo
  • Self-starter mentality with the discipline to balance hunting activity alongside account management responsibilities
  • Competitive, resilient, and motivated by winning net-new business
  • Experience leveraging AI-powered sales tools and account intelligence platforms to uncover customer needs, personalize outreach, identify expansion opportunities, and improve sales productivity
  • A data-driven approach to account management, using AI-assisted insights, forecasting, and automation to enhance pipeline visibility, customer engagement, and decision-making across a large portfolio of accounts
