Enterprise Account Executive (FSI) - UK

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry. 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 Role

We are seeking a strategic and consultative Account Executive to lead our Enterprise Financial Services Institutions (FSI) patch in the UK, stepping into a high-visibility territory. This is a premier opportunity to drive new business growth across some of the world’s most sophisticated banking and insurance entities. The UK FSI sector is at a critical juncture, navigating the shift from legacy infrastructure to modern, data-driven cloud architectures while maintaining rigorous security and compliance standards. Your role is to evolve these relationships from transactional hardware deals into value-led, transformational partnerships. You will leverage Pure’s industry-leading technology to help financial leaders solve complex challenges around data sovereignty, OpEx reduction, and AI-readiness, ensuring our solutions are deeply embedded in their long-term business value chain.

What you’ll do

• Drive business growth by strategically leading complex enterprise sales cycles within the FSI sector, managing multi-regional stakeholders and consistently exceeding revenue goals.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for financial services; set strategic standards for consultative selling that uncover specific FSI business needs and co-create bespoke solutions.
• Establish and sustain executive sponsorship by building trusted relationships with C-suite leaders (CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs) within major financial institutions.
• Develop and lead strategic account management and expansion strategies—including new logo acquisition and cross-sell/upsell motions—for high-potential financial accounts.
• Define and uphold standards for operational excellence, proactively leading collaboration across internal teams and key external partners, including Global System Integrators (GSIs) and specialist FSI consultants.

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Staines or London office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

What You’ll Bring

• Extensive success in senior technology sales specifically within FSI enterprise accounts, with a proven track record of high performance in the UK financial market.
• Mastery of strategic account management, evidenced by the execution of multi-year strategies that deliver measurable transformation and client outcomes.
• Deep understanding of the storage industry, cloud computing, and modern data centre architecture, particularly as they apply to the regulatory and operational demands of financial services.
• Proven ability to acquire new enterprise logos and drive large-scale expansion by structuring complex deals within the broader partner ecosystem.
• Ability to lead with market-shaping insights and build compelling business cases (ROI, TCO) that secure C-level buy-in.
• A strategic mindset with the autonomy to drive new technology adoption through effective personal sales methodologies.
• High level of intrinsic drive and emotional intelligence, with a commitment to accountability and a desire to mentor others.
• Business proficiency in English.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US:

• Innovation: We celebrate those who think critically, like a challenge, and aspire to be trailblazers.
• Growth: We give you the space and support to grow along with us and to contribute to something meaningful.
• Team: We build each other up and set aside ego for the greater good. And because we understand the value of bringing your full and best self to work, we offer a variety of perks to manage a healthy balance, including flexible time off, wellness resources, and company-sponsored team events.
