As an Enterprise Account Executive at Redpanda, you will drive sales through presentations, technical evaluations, and managing complex enterprise campaigns, aiming to create a healthy revenue pipeline and close deals.
Redpanda is the first runtime and control plane for agent-data interaction — a unified platform that combines streaming, SQL analytics, and intelligent connectivity with the governance layer enterprise AI agents need in production.
Built on infrastructure already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, Redpanda enforces governance entirely outside the agent's data path, controlling what agents see, limiting what they do, and capturing a tamper-proof record of everything they touch, so organizations never have to choose between innovation and control.About the Role:
