Ready to own and expand some of the most innovative Digital Native accounts across the UK & EMEA?
Aerospike EMEA is scaling rapidly, and we are strengthening our commercial presence across the region. We are looking for an exceptional Senior Account Manager who thrives on true ownership, tangible commercial impact, and the opportunity to partner with high-growth, engineering-led organisations across the territory.
Aerospike powers mission-critical, real-time data platforms for global market leaders. From real-time fraud detection to hyper-personalised consumer experiences, our distributed database technology sits at the core of systems where downtime and latency are simply not an option.
This is not a business-as-usual role. It is an opportunity to lead, expand, and drive strategic commercial growth within visionary tech companies.
What You’ll Do
* Drive Commercial Expansion: Own and grow a portfolio of strategic Digital Native and high-growth Enterprise accounts across the UK and EMEA, driving renewals, upselling, and identifying cross-sell opportunities. * Build Multi-Threaded Relationships: Establish high-trust partnerships across diverse stakeholder landscapes, engaging comfortably with lead architects, engineering heads, and C-level executives. * Orchestrate Cross-Functional Teams: Act as the lead orchestrator for your key accounts, collaborating closely with Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing. * Translate Technical Capability into Value: Articulate Aerospike’s technical architecture and map its real-time performance directly to strategic business outcomes and ROI. * Navigate Complex EMEA Buying Environments: Adapt commercial engagements to multi-country nuances, varying procurement processes, and regional data architectures. * Maintain Operational Rigour: Manage account pipeline, accurate forecasting, and opportunity lifecycles within Salesforce, while feeding actionable market intelligence back into leadership.
What You Bring
* Demonstrated Tech Sales Success: Proven track record in enterprise software, data infrastructure, distributed databases, or cloud data platforms. * Account Growth & Retention: Track record of consistently exceeding targets across high-growth, venture-backed, or tech-native organisations in the UK/EMEA market. * Engineering-Centric Acumen: Deep comfort selling into developer-led, architecture-focused decision-making cultures using a consultative, value-led sales methodology. * Commercial Leadership: Ability to manage complex contractual negotiations, renewals, and multi-stakeholder enterprise deals. * Cross-Border Awareness: Familiarity navigating regional European tech hubs (e.g., London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Nordics, Paris); additional European language skills are advantageous but not required.
Why Aerospike EMEA?
Aerospike sits at the cutting edge of real-time, high-throughput computing. When microseconds count and systems cannot compromise on scale, industry leaders rely on our technology to deliver predictable, low-latency performance.
* High-Impact Market: A key territory with massive headroom for expansion among European unicorns, FinTech leaders, and emerging tech disruptors. * Product Differentiation: A deeply technical, category-defining solution that experienced commercial leaders can stand behind with complete confidence. * Autonomous Culture: An environment grounded in accountability, ownership, and collaboration, minus bureaucratic red tape. * Modern Ways of Working: Competitive remuneration, comprehensive benefits, and flexible hybrid/remote working arrangements.
