We’re proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives because we believe people power progress. Join us as a Enterprise Account Manager – Progress Agentic RAG and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward. This will be a hybrid role so working between your home office and either our Burlington MA headquarters or our Raleigh NC office.
Progress Agentic RAG is one of our newest—and most ambitious—businesses. We're in the early stages of a significant market opportunity: the technology is proven, customers are realizing measurable business value, and we are building the commercial engine that will define our future growth.
This is an opportunity to join an emerging AI business within a successful, publicly traded software company. You'll have the agility and influence of a startup environment, backed by the resources, reputation, and customer base of an established enterprise software leader.
We're looking for a sales professional who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building new motions, and wants to help shape how enterprises adopt AI-powered solutions.
This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a mature playbook. It's for someone excited to help create one.

In this role, you will:
Enterprise Growth & Revenue Generation

Product-Led & Demand-Driven Sales Motion

- Monitor user engagement signals and proactively engage high-intent prospects demonstrating strong buying indicators
- Accelerate evaluation processes by removing technical, organizational, or process barriers to adoption
- Partner closely with Solutions Engineers and Customer Success teams to optimize conversion and customer outcomes
Customer Expansion & Strategic Account Development
- Identify growth opportunities within existing customers based on evolving business needs and product adoption trends
- Lead conversations around additional use cases, expanded deployments, and enterprise-wide adoption strategies

- Position complementary solutions and higher-value offerings that support broader AI initiatives
Market Leadership & Business Building
- Gather competitive intelligence and market insights from customer interactions
- Provide direct feedback to Product Management on emerging customer requirements and market opportunities
- Partner with Marketing to refine messaging, positioning, and go-to-market strategies
- Help define repeatable sales motions, success stories, and best practices that will shape the future growth of the business
- Contribute to building and scaling a category-defining AI business within Progress
Your background:
- 5+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience, with a strong preference for backgrounds in AI, Data & Analytics, Enterprise Software, Cloud, or Platform technologies
- Demonstrated success selling into mid-market and enterprise organizations, navigating complex buying processes and multiple stakeholders
- Experience engaging executive audiences and translating technical capabilities into business outcomes
- Proven ability to uncover customer challenges through a consultative selling approach rather than transactional selling techniques
- Experience working in both direct sales environments and partner-led motions
- Strong business acumen with the ability to understand customer priorities and develop strategic account plans

- Proficiency with CRM platforms (Salesforce preferred) and modern sales engagement tools
