Position overview
As a Major Account Executive in Global Expansion Sales , you will lead Autodesk’s growth strategy across a focused portfolio of our highest-value Major customers.

The role is designed around deep coverage of a small number of priority accounts. The core design target is approximately seven highest-value Major accounts, while total modeled books can be broader by Geo as additional accounts are assigned around the core portfolio.

You will operate as a senior business partner to the customer, bringing a hunter mindset to existing relationships: creating new demand, uncovering substantial whitespace, opening new buying centers and expanding Autodesk into strategic workflows, business units and transformation initiatives.

You will be expected to lead complex, high-value enterprise sales cycles, including seven-figure opportunities and multi-year commercial agreements, while orchestrating the broader Autodesk ecosystem around a common customer strategy. Success will be measured through sustained expansion growth, material pipeline creation, increased share of wallet, executive sponsorship, customer outcomes and forecast accuracy.

Responsibilities
• Own and lead the multi-year growth and expansion strategy for assigned Major customers.
• Develop deep knowledge of each customer’s business model, strategic objectives, operating environment, industry dynamics and transformation agenda.
• Establish a clear point of view on where Autodesk can create differentiated business value for the customer.
• Identify significant whitespace across business units, geographies, workflows, technology estates, user communities and executive priorities.
• Create demand and originate large strategic opportunities, including seven-figure deals and opportunities that may not yet exist in the customer’s formal buying process.
• Build relationships across new buying centers while deepening trusted relationships with existing stakeholders.
• Develop C-suite and senior executive sponsorship across business and technology functions.
• Bring external market, industry and customer insight into executive conversations, with relevant knowledge of Autodesk’s Design and Make industries.
• Translate customer strategy into compelling multi-year value propositions, transformation roadmaps and business cases.
• Lead complex, high-value and potentially multi-year sales cycles involving multiple business, technical, procurement, finance and legal stakeholders.
• Develop and execute competitive strategies to win strategically significant new workloads and displace incumbent technologies.
• Navigate sophisticated commercial arrangements and seven-figure negotiations with strong business and financial acumen.
• Mobilize Autodesk’s executive leadership and broader organization around a unified account strategy.
• Orchestrate Technical Sales, Customer Success, Industry, Partners, Marketing, Professional Services and other specialists at the appropriate stages of the customer journey.
• Develop strategic ecosystem and partner relationships that increase Autodesk’s impact and relevance.
• Maintain executive-level governance around opportunities, risks, dependencies and account priorities.
• Apply account-planning, relationship-mapping, customer intelligence, forecasting and AI-enabled tools responsibly to support multi-year account strategy, executive engagement and opportunity governance.
• Maintain rigorous pipeline quality and deliver accurate, evidence-based forecasts.
• Represent the voice of the customer within Autodesk while bringing relevant Autodesk innovation, capability and thought leadership back to the customer.

What success looks like
Sustained strategic revenue growth; creation and conversion of substantial new whitespace; increased Autodesk share of wallet; expansion into strategically important workloads and business initiatives; deep C-suite sponsorship; successful execution of seven-figure opportunities; strong multi-year account strategies; competitive displacement; measurable customer outcomes; and consistently high-quality forecasting.

Minimum qualifications
• 9+ years demonstrated success leading complex enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud or strategic software sales.
• Proven record of creating and closing significant opportunities within large, complex customer organizations, including experience with seven-figure deals or comparable commercial complexity.
• Demonstrated ability to create demand and develop major opportunities rather than simply manage an existing pipeline.
• Strong C-suite presence with the ability to engage credibly on business, industry and transformation priorities.
• Exceptional strategic account-planning and whitespace-development capability.
• Strong business and financial acumen and ability to build compelling economic and strategic business cases.
• Experience leading sophisticated multi-stakeholder and multi-year sales processes.
• Strong competitive selling, negotiation and commercial leadership capability.
• Demonstrated ability to lead large virtual teams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.
• Exceptional communication, storytelling and executive presentation skills.
• High standards of commercial judgment, accountability, pipeline management and forecasting.
• Demonstrated fluency with CRM, strategic account-planning, relationship-mapping, pipeline and forecasting platforms. Experience with Salesforce, Clari, Altify or comparable platforms is valued.

Preferred qualifications
• Deep knowledge of a relevant Autodesk Solution Group industry - AEC, Manufacturing or Media & Entertainment - where appropriate to the assigned customer portfolio.
• Experience selling enterprise platforms, cloud technology or large-scale transformation solutions.
• Experience navigating complex multinational customer organizations.
• Demonstrated success developing multi-year executive relationships and transformation programs.
• Track record of strategic competitive displacement and significant share-of-wallet growth.
