The Role: 

The Enterprise Platform Account Executive - APIs & Ecosystem is responsible for driving new revenue growth across EMEA by selling Nitro’s API-first platform to large enterprises and strategic partners. This role focuses on organizations that need to embed document-centric capabilities directly into their applications and workflows at scale, including PDF services, eSignature, workflow automation, and AI-powered document intelligence. The ideal candidate will operate at the intersection of enterprise transformation, developer-led buying, and ecosystem expansion. 

In addition to driving new customer acquisition and expansion within our existing accounts, this role plays a critical part in building Nitro’s API ecosystem by identifying and enabling ISV and technology partners who can integrate Nitro’s capabilities into their own products and platforms. 


What you’ll do:
 

Drive Enterprise API Revenue 

  • Own the full sales cycle for API-driven opportunities, from account targeting and discovery through technical validation, commercial negotiation, and close
  • Lead consultative discovery conversations to uncover document workflow challenges, integration requirements, compliance constraints, and automation opportunities
  • Position Nitro’s full API-enabled product stack including PDF services, eSignature, workflow automation, and AI-driven document capabilities as modular, embeddable building blocks within enterprise architectures
  • Build compelling business cases that connect API adoption to measurable outcomes such as cost reduction, process acceleration, risk mitigation, and improved customer and employee experiences
  • Navigate complex buying groups including CIO, CTO, CISO, Digital Transformation leaders, Engineering, Operations, Procurement, and Legal

Lead Technical & Platform-Led Sales Motions 

  • Partner closely with Solution Engineers to support API evaluations, sandbox trials, proofs of concept, and architectural deep dives
  • Guide customers through security reviews, compliance assessments, and integration planning required for enterprise-grade deployments
  • Orchestrate multi-stakeholder opportunity cycles that may include legacy replacement, multi-year commercial structures, and global rollouts
  • Maintain accurate pipeline management and forecasting across all API-led opportunities

Develop ISV & Ecosystem Opportunities 

  • Identify, engage, and develop ISV, SaaS, and technology partners who can embed Nitro’s APIs into their own products or platforms
  • Collaborate with channel partners and internal teams to uncover ecosystem-driven use cases and new routes to market
  • Support partners through technical validation and early commercial discussions in collaboration with Solutions Engineering and Product teams

Influence Product & Strategy 

  • Act as the voice of the customer and partner to inform product and engineering teams on roadmap priorities related to scale, performance, governance, developer experience, and AI-driven capabilities
  • Provide market feedback on competitive dynamics, platform positioning, and emerging API-led use cases 


What we are looking for:
 

  • Proven track record selling complex enterprise software or cloud platforms into large, multi-stakeholder organizations
  • Experience selling API-led, platform-based, or integration-driven solutions where technical validation is a critical part of the sales process
  • Strong understanding of REST APIs, authentication models, workflow orchestration, audit trails, and document lifecycle management
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into clear, outcome-driven value for senior business, IT, and security stakeholders
  • Demonstrated success managing long, consultative sales cycles and closing high-value, multi-year enterprise deals
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and Partners
  • Strong storytelling, presentation, and executive communication skills
  • Self-driven, structured, and comfortable building pipeline in a developing or evolving market motion 


Preferred Experience:
 

  • Background in digital document solutions, eSignature, PDF technologies, workflow automation, or developer-first platforms
  • Exposure to regulated industries such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, or public sector
  • Familiarity with modern developer tooling such as API gateways, SDKs, webhooks, sandbox environments, and CI/CD workflows
  • Experience working with ISVs, OEMs, or embedded technology partnerships is a strong plus
