Pendo · Raleigh
Sales & Business
Pendo’s Commercial Sales organization drives revenue growth by helping Mid-Market customers understand, adopt, and expand the value they get from Pendo. The team partners closely with customers and internal stakeholders to create durable growth across new business, renewals, retention, and expansion. This work matters because it helps customers maximize the impact of Pendo’s products while supporting the company’s continued growth.
As an Account Director, you will own a full-cycle, quota-carrying sales motion across net-new revenue, existing account growth, renewals, and upsell opportunities. You will identify and engage new accounts and stakeholders, manage a portfolio of existing customers, and build executive relationships that support long-term adoption and expansion. You will also partner with Customer Success, Finance, Legal, Leadership, and other cross-functional teams to execute deals smoothly and deliver customer-first outcomes.
This role is based in our Raleigh office.
Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.
You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Account Directors don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.
You're AI-curious - genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
