The role At Tyk, our Enterprise Account Executives don't wait for deals to arrive—they create momentum.
You’ll work with a defined set of strategic enterprise accounts, winning new logos and expanding existing customers by selling a sophisticated, highly technical platform to experienced buyers. This is complex, long‑cycle selling with real depth: multiple stakeholders, technical validation, executive alignment, and disciplined deal execution from first conversation to close.
What You'll Be Responsible For
New logo acquisition and end‑to‑end pursuit of new strategic customers
Developing and executing account plans: stakeholder mapping, entry strategy, and path‑to‑close
Leading structured discovery and qualification in complex buying environments
Building credibility with technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders
Navigating long‑cycle deals with clarity, discipline, and focus on deal quality
Qualifying and disqualifying rigorously to prioritise winnable opportunities
Strategic expansion in partnership with Account Management
Working closely with Account Managers to identify expansion signals and shape them into qualified opportunities
Owning the commercial execution of expansion deals (new products, teams, use cases, or footprint)
Ensuring expansion activity strengthens long‑term account health and customer outcomes
Transferring ownership of renewals to Account Management and Customer Success after close
How You'll Do It
Owning a defined strategic account set, with accountability for focus, prioritisation, and penetration
Building and maintaining a healthy, high‑quality pipeline across new logo and expansion opportunities
Partnering with Marketing and ecosystem partners on targeted inbound and outbound motions
Using account‑level research and insight to earn executive access and multi‑threaded sponsorship
Running a disciplined qualification methodology (e.g., MEDDPICC or equivalent)
Building compelling business cases aligned to customer priorities and outcomes
Collaborating closely with presales, partners, and senior technical leadership on high‑stakes pursuits
Maintaining strong CRM hygiene, opportunity planning, and reliable forecasting
Executing clean handoffs to Account Management and Customer Success post‑sale
Success in This Role Is Measured By
Consistent creation of high‑quality strategic pipeline
Strong win rates on well‑qualified opportunities
Clean execution and handover that sets customers up for long‑term success
Requirements
Proven experience selling complex B2B or enterprise technology
Strong track record of new logo acquisition in long‑cycle, multi‑stakeholder deals

Strong forecasting integrity and CRM discipline
Collaborative mindset across sales, technical, partner, and account teams
High commercial integrity and professionalism
Calm, resilient approach to complex, high‑value pursuits
You’ll Likely Thrive Here If You
Enjoy complex, strategic selling rather than transactional deals
Value disciplined execution over opportunistic selling
Come prepared, credible, and thoughtful to every customer conversation
Take pride in how deals are won—not just that they are won
Care about clean handoffs and long‑term customer success
Like working closely with technical counterparts and account teams
How We Operate At Tyk Customer success is a first‑order priority. We operate with clear ownership, strong handoffs, and respect for long‑term account health. When a deal is closed, responsibility transitions cleanly to Account Management and Customer Success, creating continuity for customers and a solid foundation for future expansion.
