This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

Role: Key Accounts Auth0 Account Executive  

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.

Results: What You Will Achieve

  • 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.

Relationships: Who You Will Impact

  • Key Account Director (KAD): Act as the primary specialist partner to the KAD, providing the deep product expertise needed to capture CIAM revenue while supporting the KAD’s overall account ownership and forecasting.
  • Technical Specialists: Work hand-in-hand with Auth0 SE specialists and Principal SEs to lead CIAM-specific discovery sessions and validate technical fit.
  • The Customer: Serve as the dedicated Auth0 subject matter expert during engagements, leading deep-dive discussions on CIAM business outcomes and technical implementation.
  • Internal Leadership: Collaborate with Front Line Management (FLM) to ensure alignment and resolve any role friction, maintaining a seamless "One Team" experience for the customer.
  • Cross-Functional Teams: Align with the broader account team (Customer Success, Legal, and Finance) to ensure Auth0 messaging and commercials are consistent with the overall strategic account plan framed by the KAD.

Requirements: What You Bring

  • 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.
