Role: Key Account Executive, Auth0

The Auth0 Account Executive is a specialized product expert responsible for driving the discovery, positioning, and deal strategy for our Auth0 CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) solutions within our most strategic, high-value accounts. While the Key Account Director (KAD) owns the overall account relationship and forecast, you are the tactical engine driving Auth0-specific winning tactics and opportunity shaping.

This role requires a deep understanding of the CIAM landscape and the ability to partner effectively across a “One Team” ecosystem. You will act as the subject matter expert to accelerate deal velocity and ensure customers receive the optimal technical solution for their complex identity needs, transitioning seamlessly between high-level business outcomes and technical SKU strategies.

Responsibilities

• CIAM Deal Strategy: Lead Auth0-specific discovery and positioning, including the development of SKU strategies and pricing models in conjunction with Auth0 SE specialists to meet complex customer requirements.
• Opportunity Shaping: Partner closely with the KAD on pipeline generation and the proactive shaping of new opportunities to ensure a robust Auth0 presence within the strategic account portfolio.
• Competitive Positioning: Drive deal execution by maintaining a strong competitive position for Auth0, implementing winning tactics to overcome technical hurdles or market competition.
• Solution Alignment: Collaborate with Principal SEs to validate when Auth0 is the “best-fit” technology for a customer’s specific use case, ensuring high-quality, sustainable customer outcomes.
• Commercial Alignment: Support the KAD in aligning commercial terms and ensuring that all Auth0-specific technical and business requirements are accurately reflected in the final proposal.

Requirements

• Specialized Expertise: Proven track record of selling complex SaaS solutions, with a specific focus on Identity (IAM) or Developer-centric platforms (CIAM experience highly preferred).
• Collaborative Selling: Demonstrated ability to work in a matrixed environment, successfully partnering with account owners to drive specialized revenue.
• Technical Acumen: Ability to translate complex technical requirements into business value and navigate SKU-level pricing and strategy.
• Strategic Execution: Experience navigating multi-million dollar sales cycles within Global or Key accounts, with a focus on deal shaping and competitive displacement.
• Communication: Exceptional presence and the ability to lead technical discovery sessions with both developer personas and executive stakeholders.

We Offer

• Compensation: Annual On Target Compensation (OTE) range for candidates located in California (excluding San Francisco Bay Area), Colorado, Illinois, New York, and Washington is between: $308,000-$462,000 USD.
• Benefits: Health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), flexible spending account, and paid leave (including PTO and parental leave).
