ClickHouse, a Forbes Cloud 100 company and leader in real-time analytics and data warehousing, is hiring a Commercial Account Executive for Canada. The role focuses on the sub-250 employee segment—developer and engineer-led companies that need technical credibility, not traditional sales pitches.
You'll own the full sales cycle from inbound lead through close, engaging directly with data engineers, platform architects, and technical founders. Your job is to understand their use cases, data volumes, query patterns, and infrastructure requirements, then map those to ClickHouse capabilities. You'll troubleshoot schema design, ingestion patterns, and integration challenges during evaluation, serving as a trusted technical advisor rather than a traditional sales rep.
Key responsibilities include identifying expansion opportunities within the self-serve and product-led customer base, partnering with Solutions Engineers on complex evaluations, maintaining pipeline hygiene in Salesforce, contributing to playbooks and objection-handling guides, and participating in developer community events and technical forums.
You bring a technical foundation earned through experience as a data engineer, solutions engineer, software engineer, or similar role. You're comfortable with the modern data stack: columnar databases, streaming ingestion (Kafka, Kinesis), cloud infrastructure, and SQL-heavy analytics. Prior customer-facing experience in pre-sales, technical account management, solutions engineering, or customer success is expected. You move quickly, communicate clearly, and have an ownership mentality. Prior closing experience is not required, but technical credibility is non-negotiable.
ClickHouse has 4,000+ customers, 250%+ YoY ARR growth, and recently closed a $400M Series D. Customers include Meta, Tesla, Sony, Capital One, and emerging AI innovators.
