Territory Account Executive - Chicago, IL

Storyblok is a headless CMS that enables marketers and developers to create with joy and succeed in the AI-driven content era. It empowers you to deliver structured and consistent content everywhere: websites, apps, AI search, and beyond.

Marketers get a visual editor with reusable components, in-context preview, and workflows to launch fast and stay on brand. Developers have freedom to use their favorite frameworks and integrate with anything through the API-first platform. Brands get one source of truth for content that is accurate, flexible, and measurable.

Legendary brands like Virgin Media O2, Oatly, and Tom Tom use Storyblok to make a bigger, faster market impact. It’s Joyful Headless™, and it changes everything.

You will be joining a growing company where you can contribute to many “firsts”. Plus these benefits:

• Monthly remote work stipend (home internet costs, electricity). Home office equipment package right at the start (laptop, keyboard, monitor…)
• Home office equipment upgrade (furniture, ear plugs …) or membership to a local co-working space after your onboarding
• Sick leave benefit, parental leave and 25 days of annual leave plus your local national holidays
• Personal development fund for courses, books, conferences, and material
• VSOP (Virtual Stock Option Plan)
• The annual international team-building trip, quarterly and monthly online get-togethers

2025 was a banner year for Storyblok as the EMEA team exceeded all quarterly targets and won Team of the Year at the UK National Sales Awards. We are seeking to strengthen our operation with a highly motivated Account Executive who can bring high levels of experience in supporting clients to build exceptional digital experiences.

The ideal candidate will be an evangelist who can speak on behalf of Storyblok at events and has experience with DXP ecosystem selling. They should also have a strong GSI network and enthusiasm to mentor colleagues in the team.

Storyblok is forecasting another year of record-breaking growth in 2026. This will be driven by AI disruption in digital experience. As a headless CMS, Storyblok is best positioned to enable customers to expose their content accurately to generative search engines like ChatGPT. Our recent product launches of Storyblok Flow Motion and Strata also present a game-changing reimagination for DXPs in the AI era.
