This is a role for a master navigator who thrives on high-stakes negotiation and long-term vision.

What you'll do

• Orchestrating Strategic Account Acquisition – Lead the charge into New Relic’s highest-potential untapped markets. You will own the "Master Strategy" for major enterprise logos, ensuring New Relic is positioned not just as a tool, but as a foundational business partner.

• Internal Leadership & Cross-Functional Synergy – Serve as a force multiplier. You will indirectly lead and mentor a dedicated "pod" of solution consultants, demand gen experts, and executives, aligning them toward a unified win strategy for Tier-1 accounts.
• Market Intelligence & Competitive Dominance – Act as a subject matter expert on the competitive landscape. You will provide feedback to Product and Engineering teams based on deep-dive diagnostics of enterprise technology stacks and future market triggers.
• Quantifying Exponential Value – Master the art of the "Business Value Assessment," proving to global enterprises exactly how New Relic’s platform reduces MTTR (Mean Time To Resolution) and accelerates ROI on their digital investments.

This role requires

• 12+ years of relevant experience in high-growth SaaS environments, with at least 5 years specifically handling Strategic or Major Enterprise accounts.
• Proven track record of over-performance, consistently exceeding multi-million dollar quotas and closing "Mega-Deals" ($1M+ ARR).
• Mastery of Consumption/Subscription Models – Deep expertise in navigating the nuances of modern SaaS pricing and multi-year contract negotiations.
• Executive Presence – Exceptional communication skills with the ability to command a room of C-level executives and influence high-level technical roadmaps.
• Strategic Domain Expertise – Recognized as an industry thought leader in Observability, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or Digital Transformation.
• Collaborative Leadership – A history of elevating those around you, acting as a mentor to Senior AEs and a trusted advisor to Sales Leadership.
• Academic Excellence – Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience; MBA or advanced technical certification is a plus.
