About commercetools

Real innovation starts with a strong foundation, and at commercetools, that comes from the perfect balance of our product and our people.

Behind every leap forward is a collective of builders, explorers, doers, makers, and problem-solvers. The kind of people who not only created composable commerce but also shaped the culture of experimentation that idea unlocked. Together they are the engine of commerce innovation today.

At commercetools, we power the next era of commerce for our customers. Whether it’s AI-driven solutions that help enterprises make smarter business decisions, bridging digital and physical shopping experiences, or enabling entirely new ways for industries to connect with their customers, we help the world’s most ambitious companies experiment, scale, and grow without limits.

Here the best idea wins, not the loudest voice. You will have the tools, trust, and space to not only build the future of commerce, but to build your own.

Your Impact

As a Named Account Executive (NAE), you will manage a defined portfolio of high-value, strategic enterprise accounts with a mandate to drive multi-year transformation, significant revenue expansion, and deep executive engagement. This role focuses on long-term-growth and operating as a trusted advisor to key stakeholders.

This role is remote - the team meets up in Amsterdam once a month.

Your Mission

• Strategic Account Ownership: Own and execute account plans for assigned named accounts, with a focus on long-term growth and multi-solution adoption. Develop land-and-expand motions that convert initial wins into enterprise-wide standardization across business units and regions.
• Outcome-Based Executive Engagement: Engage C-Level stakeholders to align our solutions to strategic business priorities. Lead Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) showcasing realized value, adoption metrics, and growth opportunities. Drive commercial expansion through strategic value engineering.
• Political Mapping & Deal Orchestration: Create and maintain detailed political account maps (e.g., power & influence maps) to track power centers, influencers, and potential blockers. Lead and orchestrate cross-functional pursuit teams (Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Legal) to deliver compelling, customized solutions.
• Customer Advocacy & Renewal Leadership: Ensure high customer satisfaction and retention by driving adoption and connecting measurable outcomes to business strategy. Identify risk to renewal or expansion and proactively intervene.
• Forecasting & Execution: Maintain an accurate pipeline through disciplined CRM management and forecast new business revenue with precision. Partner with cloud hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and global SI partners to influence large-scale digital modernization deals.
