We are seeking a technical, entrepreneurial Commercial Account Executive to own new and expansion opportunities across commercial and mid-market accounts. You will manage the full sales cycle, from account prioritization and pipeline creation through discovery, technical validation, quantified value, pricing, negotiation, close, and expansion. This is a full-cycle technical selling role, not a high-volume transactional one. You will keep the discipline in discovery, validation, and value that technical buyers expect. What You Will Do • Prospect, qualify, and close new business across commercial and mid-market accounts. • Build and manage a healthy pipeline using direct outreach and the product, Marketing, BDR, partner, and customer signals available to you. You are accountable for pipeline quality and progression. • Lead opportunities from first meeting through technical validation, security and procurement, pricing, negotiation, and close. • Communicate MinIO's value to technical and business stakeholders, tying architecture to measurable customer outcomes. • Expand and retain assigned customers by identifying new workloads, capacity, use cases, and business units, and hand off cleanly to post-sale teams. • Use MEDDPICC or a comparable method, and keep accurate pipeline, forecasts, activity, and next steps in Salesforce. • Collaborate with Field Architects, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, and partners to deliver a strong customer experience. • Share what you learn in the field to help sharpen MinIO's commercial playbook as we evolve toward a hybrid product-led and sales-driven motion. Your Skills and Experience • Three or more years of direct B2B SaaS or infrastructure sales experience with consistent quota achievement. • Evidence of sourcing and closing new customers and managing commercial or mid-market sales velocity. • Experience leading technical deals in the $50K–$300K+ range. • Familiarity with cloud-native technology, data infrastructure, object storage, AI/ML, lakehouse, analytics, HPC, or adjacent platforms. • Credibility with VPs of Infrastructure, Engineering leaders, Enterprise Architects, and related technical buyers. • A metrics-based approach to pipeline creation, qualification, value selling, forecasting, and negotiation. • Experience expanding accounts through cross-sell, upsell, and measurable customer value. • Comfort in an early-stage or growth-stage environment and strong cross-functional collaboration. • Object-storage, S3, or cloud-native experience. • Experience in a hybrid product-led and sales-driven motion. • Familiarity with Salesloft, Outreach, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator. • MEDDPICC, Force Management, or Challenger training. • Partner co-sell experience. What We Offer: • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) • 401K with 3% Contribution • Pre-IPO Stock Options • At least 12 Public Holidays • Flexible Time Off Equal Opportunity Policy (EEO) MinIO is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and an affirmative action employer.
