    About this role

    Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

    This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. The RoleWe are seeking a highly driven, strategic, and consultative Account Executive to lead the full sales cycle and drive new business growth across our strategic Enterprise accounts in the UK.

    This patch is a net-new logo hunter's playground.

    The territory spans some of the most demanding, deep-pocketed accounts in the UK: global quant trading houses and hedge funds where milliseconds and data integrity define competitive edge, systemically important financial institutions and asset managers with balance sheets in the hundreds of billions, a Big Four professional services giant, a global advertising and marketing holding company, and a mix of consumer and industrial brands with complex, multi-region infrastructure needs.

    These are organisations where data is the business - where how it's managed, moved, protected and put to work determines whether they win or lose. None of them are customers today.

    That's the opportunity: a blank sheet, a strategic account list built for someone who wants to build relationships from zero, navigate sophisticated buying committees, and win logos by solving real data management problems - not inherit a book and defend it.

    What You'll Do Drive business growth by leading the full enterprise sales cycle, from strategic prospecting to consistently exceeding sales quotas. Apply solution and consultative selling to uncover business challenges using data and co-create tailored solutions focused
