The Opportunity

Guru is looking for a Growth Account Executive II to own a high-volume book of growth accounts, and run it with speed and precision. This role is built for someone who thrives on process and cadence rather than bespoke, high-touch relationship management.

Youll manage a larger portfolio of accounts through a repeatable renewal and expansion motion, and stay organized enough to keep pace as that portfolio shifts under you. This isnt a role for someone chasing a handful of marquee logos. Its for someone who wants to prove they can scale a book, run a system that works across volume, and build a track record that opens the door to strategic accounts down the line.

Why the Role Matters?

Every enterprise AI initiative runs into the same wall: the knowledge underneath it is fragmented, outdated, and ungoverned, so the AI hallucinates, employees stop trusting it, and their investments stall. As a Growth Account Executive II, youre the one making sure a wide swath of Gurus customer base keeps realizing that value, renewal after renewal.

The volume you manage well becomes the proof that our motion scales. The patterns you see across dozens of accounts, what renews cleanly, what needs intervention, what expands on its own, shape how we run this playbook.

What Makes You the Perfect Fit

This role is a fit if youve carried quota in a high-volume book and youre energized by the discipline that it takes, not by chasing the single biggest deal in the room. You run a tight system: your CRM is always current, you know which accounts need attention before they become a problem, and you dont let volume become an excuse for things slipping through the cracks.

Youve proven you can perform in a high-volume book

• You bring 4+ years of quota-carrying SaaS sales experience
• You can run dozens of accounts in parallel without losing track of where each one stands
• Youre comfortable with a lighter-touch, higher-frequency cadence rather than long, bespoke sales cycles

You treat process and organization as your edge

• You default to playbooks and repeatable motions over one-off approaches
• Youre process-driven and excited to help build the playbook that this team runs on, not just execute someone elses
• You keep your pipeline, forecast, and account notes clean and current as a matter of habit, not an afterthought
• You spot renewal risk early through usage signals and outreach cadence, and you act on it before it becomes a save

You make the system around you better

• You flag whats working and what isnt in the renewals motion so the playbook keeps improving
• You partner well with Customer Solutions Engineers and marketing to keep expansion moving without needing every touch to come from you

Bonus

• Experience selling through AWS Marketplace or other cloud marketplaces

What Youll Actually Do

Own a high-volume, tiered growth book: Manage renewals and expansion across a large portfolio of accounts, prioritizing daily and weekly based on renewal date, usage signal, and risk.

Field scaled account maintenance: Handle ad-hoc commercial and subscription questions with urgency, and proactively manage a shared understanding of account health across your book so nothing at-risk goes unnoticed.

Run sales motions that drive expansion: Leverage product and customer data, usage patterns, growth rates, and account signals to identify, hunt, and close expansion opportunities, and develop new champions to expand usage within new teams and departments.

Run a scalable renewal motion: Execute a consistent, repeatable renewal cadence across your full book, completing dozens of renewals per month, using standard playbooks rather than building custom strategies account by account.

Spot and act on expansion signal: Identify accounts where usage data points to expansion, and run a lightweight, efficient motion to capture it without slowing down the rest of your book.

Keep the system honest: Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Salesforce across your entire book, pipeline, forecast, activity, and account context, so leadership can trust the numbers at volume.
