About the Role
Veeam is seeking a high-performing Sr. Account Executive (preferably based in Calgary) to drive growth within the Commercial segment in an assigned territory. This quota-carrying, hybrid role requires a strong in-market presence, balanced with strategic planning, virtual selling, and disciplined pipeline management.

- Territory & Pipeline Management: Build and execute a territory plan, identify new and expansion opportunities, and maintain strong pipeline coverage aligned to quota
- Customer & Partner Engagement: Develop relationships through in-person meetings and leverage virtual selling tools (video conferencing, digital demos, webinars, and virtual events) to drive engagement, accelerate deal cycles, and maintain consistent customer touchpoints
- Channel Collaboration: Partner with VARs, distributors, and internal teams to co-sell, align on strategy, and maximize territory coverage
- Deal Execution: Lead full sales cycles from prospecting through close, including discovery, solution alignment, technical validation, and negotiation
- Forecasting & Performance: Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting in Salesforce, uphold strong CRM discipline, and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets
