[Remote] Enterprise Account Executive
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Tyk is a company focused on creating momentum in enterprise sales, and they are seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to work with strategic enterprise accounts. This role involves winning new customers and expanding existing ones through complex, long-cycle selling while collaborating closely with account management and technical teams.
Responsibilities
- You’ll own the end-to-end pursuit of new strategic customers:
- Develop and execute account plans: stakeholder mapping, entry strategy, and path-to-close
- Lead structured discovery and qualification in complex buying environments
- Build credibility with technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders
- Navigate long-cycle deals with clarity, discipline, and focus on deal quality
- Qualify and disqualify rigorously to prioritise winnable opportunities
- Once customers are live, you’ll work closely with Account Managers to:
- Identify expansion signals and shape them into qualified opportunities
- Own the commercial execution of expansion deals (new products, teams, use cases, or footprint)
- Ensure expansion activity strengthens long-term account health and customer outcomes
- You do not own renewals. After close, ownership transitions cleanly to Account Management and Customer Success so customers experience continuity, not handover friction
- Own a defined strategic account set, with accountability for focus, prioritisation, and penetration
- Build and maintain a healthy, high-quality pipeline across new logo and expansion opportunities
- Partner with Marketing and ecosystem partners on targeted inbound and outbound motions
- Use account-level research and insight to earn executive access and multi-threaded sponsorship
- Run a disciplined qualification methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC or equivalent)
- Build compelling business cases aligned to customer priorities and outcomes
- Collaborate closely with presales, partners, and senior technical leadership on high-stakes pursuits
- Maintain strong CRM hygiene, opportunity planning, and reliable forecasting
- Execute clean handoffs to Account Management and Customer Success post-sale

- 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
- Enjoy complex, strategic selling rather than transactional deals
- Value disciplined execution over opportunistic selling
