Account Executive, Enterprise - Strategic Expansion

About the Role

Fivetran is scaling its Japan business. We already have a small Tokyo office, an APJ hub, a tight-knit GTM team in Japan, and 100+ customers there. The Account Executive, Enterprise - Strategic Expansion will be the primary point of contact for over half of those customers and will directly influence customer satisfaction, adoption, and ARR growth. Success is measured by excellent customer outcomes (CSAT / advocacy) and measurable revenue expansion tied to adoption.

If you are a thoughtful, customer-obsessed GTM professional with a mix of sales and post-sales experience — and you want to join a values-driven, collaborative company that is demonstrably committed to Japan — this role is for you.

This is a full-time position based remotely out of Japan.
