Account Executive - Capital One Software (enterprise Data & Security Saas) - (remote)

Capital One Software Enterprise Account Executive

Since our first credit card customer in 1994, Capital One has recognized that technology and data can enable even large companies to be innovative and personalized. As one of the first large enterprises to go all-in on the public cloud, Capital One needed to build cloud and data management tools that didn't exist in the marketplace to enable us to operate at scale in the cloud. And in 2022, we publicly announced Capital One Software and brought our first B2B software solution, Slingshot, to market. Building on Capital One's pioneering adoption of modern cloud and data capabilities, Capital One Software is helping accelerate the data management journey at scale for businesses operating in the cloud. If you think of the kind of challenges that companies face – things like data publishing, data consumption, data governance, and infrastructure management – we've built tools to address these various needs along the way. Capital One Software will continue to explore where we can bring our solutions to market to help other businesses address these same needs going forward. We are seeking top tier talent to join our pioneering team and propel us towards our destination. You will be joining a team of innovative product, tech, and design leaders that tirelessly seek to question the status quo. As an Account Executive for Capital One Software, you'll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of building this business and bring these tools to market.

Who We Are Searching For

Capital One Software is looking for a tenacious Enterprise Account Executive to drive net-new and expansion revenue with large, data-driven enterprises. You'll sell into senior data, engineering, security, and technology leaders, navigating complex, multi-stakeholder deals that frequently involve security, legal, and procurement reviews. In this startup-style team within Capital One, you'll be expected to self-generate pipeline through strategic, personalized outbound and partner motions, run disciplined sales cycles from first meeting through contracting, and act as a trusted advisor to both customers and internal stakeholders.

Roles And Responsibilities

Pipeline generation: Proactively generate and progress pipeline through targeted, personalized outreach (email, phone, LinkedIn, events) and partner motions. Build and execute strategic account plans for high-value targets; identify and engage multi-threaded buying groups across data, engineering, security, finance, and procurement.

Discovery and solution selling: Lead high-quality discovery to understand each customer's data, cloud, and security challenges and translate them into clear use cases and value hypotheses. Collaborate with Solutions Architects and Product experts to design and deliver compelling demos, POVs/pilots, and business cases tailored to each account.

Deal management and contracting: Own the full sales cycle from initial meeting through close, including security assessments, legal review, InfoSec, and procurement. Anticipate and remove impediments in the sales process; coordinate and escalate with internal stakeholders when needed to keep deals moving. Negotiate commercial terms, pricing, and multi-year agreements in a way that balances customer value and Capital One Software's growth objectives.

Internal collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Customer Success, RevOps and Marketing to shape customer narratives and ensure a smooth handoff from sale to implementation. Provide structured feedback from the field on market trends, competitive dynamics, and customer needs to influence roadmap and go-to-market decisions.

Operating discipline: Maintain an accurate, up-to-date pipeline and forecast in Salesforce.com, with clean activity logs, stakeholder maps, and opportunity notes. Leverage the modern sales stack (sequencing, enrichment, intent, and analytics tools) to prioritize outreach, test messaging, and continuously improve performance.
