About The Team
This role sits on a highly collaborative, performance-driven Commercial sales team focused on helping customers modernize data protection and cyber resilience with Druva’s 100% SaaS platform. The Account Executive owns the territory end-to-end, maintaining and expanding existing customer relationships while actively hunting and closing net-new logos.
You will work in a true two-in-a-box model with a dedicated local Systems Engineer to drive deep discovery, strong customer engagement, and a consultative sales motion across the full lifecycle, from prospecting through expansion. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on territory ownership, values teamwork, and enjoys building durable customer relationships while driving new growth.
Role Purpose & Impact
You will own and execute the go-to-market strategy for the assigned Commercial territory, managing a defined book of business while identifying, prospecting, and closing new customer opportunities across organizations with 251–2,999 employees.
You will build trusted relationships with IT and security leaders by understanding their business challenges and aligning them to Druva’s cloud-native data protection and cyber resilience platform. Partnering closely with a dedicated local Systems Engineer, you will lead discovery, technical validation, and solution design to clearly articulate the value of a SaaS-based approach.
You will collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Channel Partners, and internal teams to support onboarding, adoption, renewals, and expansion, while building pipeline, forecasting accurately, and consistently delivering against revenue targets.
What You’ll Do
Success means consistently owning and growing the assigned Commercial territory through predictable, high-quality execution. You effectively balance expanding existing accounts with adding new logos, building trusted relationships with IT and security leaders and positioning Druva as a strategic partner.
You operate as a strong partner to your dedicated Systems Engineer, lead disciplined discovery, guide customers through value-based buying decisions, and maintain a healthy, well-managed pipeline with accurate forecasts. You collaborate closely with Customer Success and channel partners to drive renewals, expansions, and long-term retention.
You are also a dependable, high-integrity team member who shows up prepared, contributes to a strong team culture, and helps elevate the overall performance of the Commercial Central Team.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Druva’s Commercial Sales Team combines the momentum of a high-growth company with a collaborative, people-first culture. You’re trusted to run your territory with real ownership and autonomy, while never feeling like you’re on an island. The team wins together, shares best practices, and supports one another through complex and competitive deals.
The work is timely and meaningful. Customers are actively rethinking legacy data protection and cyber resilience strategies, and Druva’s 100% SaaS platform resonates strongly in the market enabling authentic, value-driven conversations with senior IT and security leaders.
Druva also invests in enablement, leadership, and career development, recognizing and rewarding strong performance. You’ll work alongside driven, thoughtful professionals who take pride in their craft and enjoy building something special together in the central region.

The pay range for this position is expected to be between $176,000 and $235,333/year; however, base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized, non-discriminatory factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
