Description

There's a 36-month window to define what AI-native enterprise work looks like. Slack sits at the centre of it — and we're growing our commercial team in Australia.

Slack is the System of Engagement for the agentic enterprise: the place where people, AI agents, data, and the tools that run a business come together in a single flow of work. We're not a messaging app — we're the platform where work actually happens, and the demand from Australia's commercial market reflects it.

We're looking for a Specialist Account Executive to join our Slack team. You'll own a portfolio of commercial accounts, evangelising the value of Slack to new prospects and helping existing customers unlock more of the platform.

What you'll do

  • Own the full sales cycle for your commercial territory, driving Annual Contract Value from prospecting through to close

  • Act as a strategic advisor — diagnosing business challenges and connecting Slack's platform value to outcomes that matter to each customer

  • Lead multiple opportunities simultaneously across all stages of the buying cycle

  • Navigate requirements across billing, legal, security, and technical stakeholders

  • Be the voice of your customers internally, surfacing market feedback to drive continuous improvement

What you bring

  • At least 5+ years of Commercial or Enterprise SaaS Sales experience, with proven attainment or over-exceeding of quota

  • Led consultative sales engagements, developing ROI-backed business cases that secured executive sponsorship and accelerated decision-making.

  • Partnered cross-functionally with customer success, solution engineering, and partners to maximise customer outcomes and commercial growth.

  • Executed complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, balancing strategic account planning with pipeline generation and deal execution.

  • The ability to translate complex AI and automation concepts into clear business value for both technical and commercial buyers

  • Strong commercial instincts — you know how to build a business case, manage a fast-moving pipeline, and navigate multiple stakeholders

  • Credibility built on doing the work: accurate forecasting, disciplined pipeline management, and genuine customer advocacy

  • Curiosity about AI and where agentic technology is heading — you don't need to be an engineer, but genuine enthusiasm for the space matters

Why Slack, why now

Slack was purpose-built for this moment. As AI reshapes how businesses operate, Slack is where humans and agents work side by side — without switching tools, losing context, or slowing down. You won't be selling a point solution. You'll be helping commercial businesses in Australia build the foundation their AI strategy runs on.

It's a genuinely compelling story to take to market. And it's one that's only getting stronger.
