<p>Join us in unlocking global potential, one human and agent team at a time.</p></div><h2><strong>Role Overview</strong></h2>
<p>The Key Account Executive at Smartcat is a <strong>senior, revenue-owning role</strong> responsible for building <strong>multi-million ARR relationships</strong> across our highest-potential enterprise customers — and selectively, new enterprise logos with long-term expansion potential.</p>
<p>This is <strong>not</strong> a passive account management role.<br>It is a <strong>hunter–expander role</strong> that requires urgency, executive presence, commercial rigor, AI business fluency, and strong character.</p>
<p>You will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Expand existing enterprise customers into multi-department, multi-workflow, global relationships</li>
<li>Own a select set of <strong>high-quality new logos</strong> and hunt them aggressively</li>
<li>Lead executive-level conversations around <strong>AI value, governance, ROI, and outcomes</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li>Operate as a strategic revenue owner in close partnership with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE), Customer AI Engineers, Product, Marketing, and RevOps<br><br></li>
</ul>
<p>This role directly drives <strong>NRR, expansion ARR, and Smartcat’s path to $100M+ ARR</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>Core Responsibilities</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>1. Expansion Revenue Ownership &amp; Selective New Logo Hunting</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Own <strong>Expansion ARR and NRR</strong> across a defined portfolio of enterprise accounts</li>
<li>Proactively identify and pursue:</li>
<ul>
<li>Upsell and cross-sell opportunities</li>
<li>Package expansion and agent capability expansion</li>
<li>New workflows, departments, business units, and geographies</li>
</ul>
<li>Own a <strong>select number of new enterprise logos</strong> where Smartcat sees long-term, durable ARR potential</li>
<li>Build and execute a clear <strong>plan and path to multi-million ARR</strong> per account cluster</li>
<li>Treat accounts as <strong>businesses</strong>, not books of business</li>
</ul>
<p>This role requires urgency. We do not wait years for deals to happen.</p>
<h2><strong>2. True Enterprise Hunter Mentality</strong></h2>
<p>You must be comfortable:</p>
<ul>
<li>Getting <strong>out of coaches and low-level users</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li>Navigating complex enterprise organizations to reach real decision-makers</li>
<li>Building multi-threaded relationships across:</li>
<ul>
<li>Business leaders</li>
<li>Technical stakeholders</li>
<li>Finance and procurement</li>
<li>VP, SVP, and C-level executives</li>
</ul>
<li>Creating momentum where none exists<br><br></li>
</ul>
<p>This is not a caretaker role.<br>It is a <strong>hunter role inside enterprise whitespace</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>3. Executive-Level Commercial &amp; Financial Acumen</strong></h2>
<p>You are expected to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read and understand:</li>
<ul>
<li>Balance sheets</li>
<li>Budget ownership and buying power</li>
<li>Enterprise buying centers</li>
</ul>
<li>Build <strong>custom commercial proposals</strong> tied to:</li>
<ul>
<li>Business impact</li>
<li>ROI and value realization</li>
<li>Productivity, cost reduction, and risk mitigation</li>
</ul>
<li>Lead executive negotiations and stakeholder alignment</li>
<li>Confidently run high-stakes conversations with senior executives across global organizations</li>
</ul>
<p>You sell <strong>outcomes and impact</strong>, not SKUs.</p>
<h2><strong>4. Procurement &amp; Enterprise Deal Mastery</strong></h2>
<p>You must be highly comfortable:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leading deals through:</li>
<ul>
<li>Procurement</li>
<li>Legal</li>
<li>Security</li>
<li>AI, data, and governance reviews</li>
</ul>
<li>Navigating centralized and regional buying committees</li>
<li>Managing pricing, discounting, and contract negotiations</li>
<li>Holding the line on value rather than defaulting to discounting</li>
<li>Controlling the deal process — not being controlled by it</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>5. Multi-Method Enterprise Selling Fluency</strong></h2>
<p>You are expected to be fluent across modern enterprise sales approaches, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Challenger</li>
<li>Value-based selling</li>
<li>MEDDPICC-driven qualification</li>
<li>Consultative and executive narrative selling</li>
</ul>
<p>No single framework is followed dogmatically.<br>You must apply the <strong>right approach for the buyer, the moment, and the deal</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>6. AI, Governance &amp; Business Outcomes Fluency</strong></h2>
<p>This is a <strong>hard requirement</strong>.</p>
<p>You must be comfortable leading executive conversations about:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <strong>business value of AI</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li>AI impact on:</li>
<ul>
<li>Productivity</li>
<li>Speed-to-market</li>
<li>Cost efficiency</li>
<li>Risk mitigation</li>
</ul>
<li>AI governance, trust, and responsible use</li>
<li>Human-in-the-loop models and quality assurance</li>
<li>Translating Smartcat’s agentic platform and Multi-Agent Systems into <strong>measurable ROI</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>You are not required to be technical-first, but you must be <strong>business-first and outcomes-driven</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>7. Strategic + Urgent Execution Balance</strong></h2>
<p>We expect someone who:</p>
<ul>
<li>Is strategic <strong>and</strong> fast-moving</li>
<li>Avoids analysis paralysis</li>
<li>Maintains quarter-by-quarter execution discipline</li>
<li>Does not hide behind long-term strategy to avoid closing deals</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are “too strategic to close,” you will not succeed here.</p>
<h2><strong>8. Cross-Functional Leadership &amp; Delivery Partnership</strong></h2>
<p>You will work closely with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE)</li>
<li>Customer AI Engineers</li>
<li>Product and Solutions teams</li>
<li>Marketing and Revenue Operations</li>
</ul>
<p>You must be comfortable:</p>
<ul>
<li>Collaborating deeply on scoped expansions</li>
<li>Ensuring complexity is sold correctly</li>
<li>Co-owning outcomes through delivery</li>
<li>Escalating early and intelligently</li>
</ul>
<p>There is no throwing work over the fence.</p>
<h2><strong>9. Character, Humility &amp; Operating Standards (Non-Negotiable)</strong></h2>
<p>This role requires <strong>elite performance with elite character</strong>.</p>
<p>We explicitly hire for the principles of an <strong>Ideal Team Player</strong>, with special emphasis on <strong>humility as a force multiplier</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Humility Is a Requirement</strong></h3>
<p>At Smartcat, humility is not weakness.<br><strong>Humility is power under control.</strong></p>
<p>We expect people who are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Confident without ego</li>
<li>Secure enough to invite challenge</li>
<li>Willing to be wrong, learn fast, and adapt</li>
<li>Quick to share credit and slow to assign blame</li>
<li>Focused on outcomes over personal recognition</li>
</ul>
<p>High-ego, lone-wolf behavior will not succeed here — regardless of past revenue.</p>
<h3><strong>Hungry, Smart, and Humble — In Balance</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hungry:</strong> Relentless about results, ownership, and momentum</li>
<li><strong>Smart:</strong> High emotional intelligence and organizational judgment</li>
<li><strong>Humble:</strong> Coachable, collaborative, and grounded</li>
</ul>
<p>Being hungry without humility creates chaos.<br>Being smart without humility creates friction.<br>This role requires <strong>all three</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>10. Comfort Delivering Uncomfortable Truth</strong></h2>
<p>This role requires <strong>adult, high-integrity communication</strong>.</p>
<p>You must be comfortable:</p>
<p>👉 Delivering uncomfortable truth <strong>internally and externally</strong></p>
<p>That includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Challenging customers when value is at risk</li>
<li>Calling deal risk early</li>
<li>Disqualifying weak opportunities</li>
<li>Pushing back on misaligned scope or expectations</li>
<li>Speaking up with data and conviction</li>
</ul>
<p>We value <strong>truth over harmony</strong> and <strong>accuracy over optimism</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>11. Forecast Rigor &amp; Revenue Ownership</strong></h2>
<p>Forecasting is not reporting — it is <strong>ownership</strong>.</p>
<p>In this role:</p>
<ul>
<li>You own your forecast</li>
<li>You call it straight</li>
<li>You surface risk early</li>
<li>You do not sandbag</li>
<li>You do not hero-forecast</li>
</ul>
<p>We operate as one team:</p>
<ul>
<li>You bring rigor, judgment, and clarity</li>
<li>Leadership brings coaching, support, and execution alignment</li>
<li>Together, we drive outcomes</li>
</ul>
<p>Forecast integri
