Strategic Enterprise Account Executive
São Paulo, Brazil
The Opportunity
Nutanix is looking for a highly experienced and strategically minded Enterprise Account Executive (IC5) to lead the development and penetration of a select group of Brazil's most strategic enterprise organizations.
This is a strategic greenfield/whitespace role focused on acquiring new customers across the major economic verticals driving the country's GDP—including financial services, agribusiness, mining, oil & gas, and manufacturing. Target accounts will include major enterprise groups such as Itaú, Bradesco, JBS, Embraer and other strategically important organizations in Brazil.
The successful candidate will build the business from the ground up while leveraging deep knowledge of these accounts, their organizational structures, business priorities, technology environments, and complex decision-making processes.
This is not a traditional account management role. It is a strategic penetration and new-logo position for an experienced enterprise hunter who can build executive relationships, create demand, navigate complex corporate ecosystems, and establish Nutanix as a strategic technology partner.
The ideal candidate will have several years of experience working directly with these strategic Brazilian accounts or closely related enterprise ecosystems, with established relationships and a strong understanding of how these powerhouse organizations operate.
