Note: This role is remote, but the final candidate must be based in Toronto or Montreal.
As our first Account Executive in Canada, you will be a builder and hunter: owning the Canadian territory to generate pipeline, close cloud subscriptions (monthly and annual committed spend), and grow a sustainable customer community. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves opportunity for a self-starter who thrives in high-growth environments and enjoys both technical conversations and community engagement.
What you will do:
Own the Canada territory: source, qualify, and close new business (Cloud monthly contracts and annual committed spend).
Build, manage, and forecast a healthy pipeline in Salesforce; keep accurate deal details, next steps, decision criteria, and forecast cadence.
Use a solution-based sales approach to map ClickHouse Cloud to customer business needs and technical requirements.
Evangelize ClickHouse and ClickHouse Cloud — to engineering, data, and executive stakeholders.
Drive regional community and developer engagement: attend and run meetups, user groups, and industry events in key metro areas.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, and Product to close complex deals and create long-term customer value.
Accurately forecast monthly and contribute to quarterly planning.
Be comfortable operating with autonomy and grit in a fast-moving startup environment; flexible hours for customer and community commitments.
What we are looking for:
8–10+ years of quota-carrying sales experience selling Cloud, Infrastructure, or Data platform software.
Demonstrated success selling to mid-market and enterprise accounts in Canada.
Strong technical fluency with cloud, data analytics, or infrastructure solutions — able to engage with both technical and executive buyers.
Proven ability to manage deal cycles end-to-end and to forecast reliably in Salesforce.
High sense of ownership, bias for action, and comfort working independently to build a territory from the ground up.
Excellent written and verbal communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
Willingness to travel regionally for customer meetings and events as required.
Bonus Points:
Experience with open-source business models or a company that supports open-source.
Recent experience selling into GenAI, AI-native, or data/analytics teams.
Background selling cloud SaaS, observability, or analytics solutions.
Track record of building developer or user communities (running meetups, user groups, or developer advocacy programs).
Experience working remotely in a global, distributed organization.
