Account Executive, CONNECT Platform

The Role

AVEVA is accelerating its cloud and SaaS growth strategy, with the CONNECT platform playing a central role in transforming how industrial organizations unlock value from their data through advanced analytics, AI, and industrial intelligence.

We are seeking an experienced, commercially driven Account Executive, CONNECT Platform to generate new business, expand our enterprise SaaS footprint, and drive Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth.

This is a full-cycle, quota-carrying enterprise sales role with end-to-end commercial accountability for CONNECT, from prospecting and new business acquisition through ongoing customer value realization and account expansion.

You will operate within a highly collaborative go-to-market model, partnering closely with AVEVA's regional sales organization to accelerate CONNECT platform growth.



By combining established enterprise customer relationships and deep industry expertise with your specialized SaaS sales capabilities, you will identify new opportunities, expand into untapped buying centers, and drive strategic platform adoption.

Unlike traditional sales roles that end at contract signature, you'll remain the commercial quarterback for CONNECT, maintaining executive relationships, identifying expansion opportunities, and ensuring the business outcomes established during the sales process translate into long-term customer value.

You’ll orchestrate the right teams, including regional Account Managers, Field Engineering, and Customer Success, while maintaining ownership of CONNECT’s commercial growth.
