MinIO is seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to drive growth in the Chicago/Twin Cities region. You will own the full sales cycle for complex enterprise deals ($250K+) targeting organizations modernizing their data infrastructure for AI, analytics, and HPC workloads.
In this role, you will prospect and identify high-value opportunities, articulate MinIO's cloud-native, S3-compatible object storage advantages against legacy vendors, and close deals with a $1.5M+ annual quota. You'll combine technical depth in storage, data infrastructure, data lakes/lakehouses, AI/ML, and HPC with consultative selling to drive transformational outcomes—not incremental improvements.
Key responsibilities include: leading new business acquisition through creative prospecting; conducting technical and vision-based selling to translate capabilities into business value; building business cases and ROI models; executing partner-led co-selling strategies with channel and alliance partners; collaborating cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Marketing; and maintaining disciplined pipeline management and forecasting.
You'll educate prospects on AI infrastructure optimization and data architecture modernization, positioning MinIO as a disruptive alternative to entrenched storage vendors. Success requires competing effectively against legacy solutions, thriving in a startup environment, and leveraging deep territory relationships with decision makers and influencers.
MinIO is the data and memory foundation for enterprise AI, trusted by 77% of the Fortune 100. The company unifies every layer of the data stack—from agentic and inference context memory to tables and objects across core, edge, and cloud.
