Senior Account Executive - New Business in London

Overview

This is more than a job. It’s a chance to build, grow, and make a real impact! Join our team as our new Senior Account Executive - New business.

Our new Senior Enterprise Account Executive – New Business will drive new customer acquisition across strategic enterprise accounts.

This is a pure hunting role, with a primary focus on creating, developing and closing significant new-logo opportunities for Axway AI Gateway and the Amplify product portfolio.

The successful candidate will target large, complex organisations, with particular emphasis on Financial Services, Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences and other highly regulated industries, where API security, governance, AI adoption and enterprise integration are becoming increasingly business-critical.

This role requires an individual who can create opportunities rather than simply manage an existing pipeline — identifying target organisations, building senior-level relationships and developing strategic opportunities from initial engagement through to close.

Responsibilities

• New Logo Acquisition: Build and execute a focused strategy to acquire significant new enterprise customers.
• AI Gateway & Amplify: Position Axway's AI Gateway and Amplify capabilities around secure AI adoption, API management, governance and enterprise transformation.
• Strategic Prospecting: Identify and penetrate a defined portfolio of high-value target organisations.
• Regulated Industries: Focus primarily on Financial Services, Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences and other complex regulated enterprises.
• Executive Engagement: Develop relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, Heads of Architecture, Digital, AI and API leaders.
• Opportunity Creation: Generate pipeline through proactive outbound engagement, networking, partners, events and coordinated account-based campaigns.
• Complex Enterprise Sales: Lead opportunities from initial qualification and business case development through technical validation, commercial negotiation and contract signature.
• Value-Based

Selling: Translate Axway's technology into clear business outcomes around AI governance, security, regulatory compliance, operational resilience and digital transformation.

• Internal Collaboration: Work closely with Presales, Product, Marketing, Partners and Executive Leadership to develop and execute strategic pursuits.
• Account

Transition: Following successful acquisition and initial establishment, transition new customers into the appropriate Account Management organisation, allowing continued focus on new-logo acquisition.

Qualifications

• Proven track record as a senior enterprise technology sales professional with a strong new-business/hunting background.
• Demonstrable success winning significant new logos within large enterprise organisations.
• Experience selling into Financial Services, Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences or similarly regulated industries.
• Strong understanding of enterprise technology, ideally including API Management, API Security, AI/Gen AI, Integration, Middleware or Digital Platforms.
• Comfortable developing opportunities from a blank sheet rather than relying on an established customer base or inherited pipeline.
• Ability to engage credibly with senior technology and business executives.
• Experience navigating long, complex enterprise buying cycles involving Security, Architecture, Procurement, Legal and Executive stakeholders.
• Strong commercial and negotiation capability.
• Highly autonomous, strategic and disciplined in territory and account planning.
