Hykell Account Executive
Hykell helps companies reduce AWS costs by continuously managing their cloud commitments. We work with customers who have substantial AWS spend and want better savings without adding work for their engineering teams.
We’re hiring a Senior Account Executive to own new customer sales from first conversation to signed agreement. You’ll generate your own opportunities, work leads developed by our BDRs, run discovery, build the business case, and close deals.
This is a key hire. You’ll work closely with Hykell’s founders, have a direct say in how we develop our sales approach, and have the freedom to pursue opportunities you believe in. You’ll be accountable for the results.
What you’ll do
- Build and manage a pipeline of companies with significant AWS spend, primarily across Europe.
- Prospect directly and turn BDR generated leads into qualified opportunities.
- Speak with cloud, engineering, FinOps, and finance leaders to understand their current AWS costs and commitment strategy.
- Show customers where Hykell can deliver additional savings and guide them through evaluation, commercial discussions, and closing.
- Bring customer and market feedback directly to the founders to help shape our positioning and priorities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you bring
- A track record of sourcing and closing B2B technology deals.
- Strong working knowledge of AWS and the ability to hold credible conversations about cloud spend. Experience working at AWS is a strong advantage; experience with an AWS partner is also valuable.
- Experience selling to organisations with substantial AWS usage, ideally around $500,000 or more in annual AWS spend.
- The ability to create your own pipeline and move deals forward without a prescribed playbook (even though we have one).
- Clear communication, commercial judgement, and ownership of your results.
