Don’t let the quirky name fool you! We’re on a mission to radically transform the data analyst user experience. We empower and delight analysts using a novel cloud architecture built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community. Our team is a diverse mix of passionate, collaborative and empathetic data industry veterans from Google, Amazon, Meta, Snowflake, Looker, SingleStore, Databricks, and the like.

What you'll do:

At MotherDuck, we’re reimagining cloud-based data analytics with a delightful, developer-first experience powered by DuckDB. We're a team of curious, driven, and thoughtful folks who believe simplicity can be powerful—and that selling software should be just as magical as building it.

As we grow, we’re looking for an Account Executive who brings a mix of grit, coachability, and industry savvy to help drive adoption and revenue. If you're someone who knows the ins and outs of the data analytics or database space and loves helping customers solve hard problems with elegant solutions, you might be just the duck we're looking for.

This is a hybrid role based out of our New York City office.

Key Responsibilities:

Drive new revenue: Prospect, engage, and close new business across a mix of inbound and outbound opportunities. Own the full sales cycle: From first touch to signed contract, you’ll guide prospects through the buying process and ensure they feel the value of MotherDuck at every step. Understand the problem space: You’ll connect with data engineers, analysts, and decision-makers to understand their challenges and communicate how we solve them—clearly and convincingly. Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with product, marketing, and customer success to share feedback, align on messaging, and continuously improve how we go to market. Contribute to the playbook: Help refine sales strategies, positioning, and processes so we can scale efficiently (and delightfully). Build relationships, not just pipeline: Focus on long-term partnerships and helping customers get the most value out of their data.

Requirements

Proven experience in SaaS sales, ideally within the data analytics, database, or developer tooling space. Strong product and technical curiosity—you don’t need to be an engineer, but you should enjoy learning how the tech works and how it solves real problems. A consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota and helping build revenue in a fast-moving environment. Drive and resilience—you push through setbacks, learn quickly, and stay focused on the goal. Coachability and self-awareness—you seek feedback, act on it, and grow from it. A strong alignment to our values:

Agency: You take initiative and act like an owner. Thoughtfulness: You consider the “why” behind every decision. Unorthodoxy: You’re open to creative approaches and fresh thinking. Flexibility: You adapt quickly and stay calm in ambiguity.

What we provide

Feather-ruffling compensation – competitive salary and stock options so you have a stake in our flock’s success. Top-notch healthcare coverage – 100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees, plus 80% coverage for dependents (because we care about your whole nest). Flexible PTO – take the time you need to recharge, explore, or just have a lazy day by the pond. 401k plan – because even ducks need to plan for the future. Legendary company events – we bring the whole flock together twice a year for unforgettable summits in fun locations, plus 1-2 team gatherings a year to keep our bonds strong. Hybrid work environment – Spend three days a week in the office collaborating with the flock, and work from wherever you’re most productive the rest of the time—whether that’s your home office, a coffee shop, or a peaceful lakeside retreat.

Please Apply

Does this role sound appealing to you, but you’re missing some of the requirements or don’t quite think you’re qualified? Please apply anyway. Research has shown that underrepresented groups in technology often shy away from roles which aren’t a 100% match. We aim to build a diverse team and will strongly consider applicants who bring many of the requirements plus have other experiences which round out their qualifications.
