US Commercial · End-to-end ownership  ·  JDs: NYC → SF → Austin →

Box is hiring AEs across three of its strongest US hubs. The patch is built. The playbook works. We're looking for sellers who want to land it, grow it, and own the whole arc.

Watch: Box Overview
Why Box, why now

Box has moved well beyond file storage. We're the trusted Content Cloud for 115,000+ organizations globally, including nearly 70% of the Fortune 500. What's working in Commercial right now is the combination of security, compliance, governance, and AI built into one platform, and customers are buying it because it's operationally critical, not discretionary. The Commercial motion is mature, leadership is strong across all three hubs, and the patches are deep. This isn't a build-from-zero seat. It's a take-the-territory-and-grow-it seat.

The Numbers
300
Accounts in patch, focused on 1–2 main verticals (inbound is luck of the draw)
$20k
Average deal size, with regular $100k+ deals
$200k
ARR quota — expansion + new business

The Opportunity

Why this is the right move

The upside

Own it end to end — and get paid for it

You land it, you grow it. Accounts don't get handed off to another team for upsell — you own expansion and earn the commission on it. Land smaller if needed, build the relationship, grow the account. Average deal sits at $20k but reps regularly close $100k+.


The Team

Meet the people you'd be working with

Box's Commercial team is full of operators who've earned their patches and grown them. Here are the folks you'd report into and sell alongside in each hub — say hi on LinkedIn before your screen.

Who We're Looking For

A self-starter. With hunger to match.

Hunter mentality — you're energized by net new pipeline, not intimidated by it
End-to-end ownership — you handle the full cycle, from prospecting through close and into expansion
Own deals end to end — you can run land-and-expand with real rigor and grow accounts post-close
Ambitious — you see a $20k deal as the start of something much bigger, not the finish line
Wants real ownership of strategy — territory planning, target accounts, GTM — and has the initiative to make things happen without waiting for permission
✅ Commercial SaaS experience expected

We're looking for AEs who've sold in a SaaS context and can talk credibly about deal cycles in the $20k–$100k+ range. End-to-end ownership experience (land + expand) is a strong signal.

Life at Box

The culture you're joining

Box has been around since 2005, but the culture still feels like a team that's building something — not running a playbook. Here's what people on the inside say matters.

🤝
In-person by design

Boxers are expected to work from their assigned office a minimum of 3 days per week. Community and collaboration are core to how the team operates — not a back-to-office mandate dressed up.

AI-first mindset

Box is an AI-first company. The expectation is that you bring a growth mindset to your work and lean on AI to make faster, sharper decisions — not as a side experiment, but as how the work gets done.

🎯
Real ownership

Reps own the full arc — territory plan, prospecting, close, expansion. Less hand-off, more accountability, more upside. The kind of place where what you build is visibly yours.

The values that run through it

Box's seven values aren't poster slogans — Boxers genuinely reference them in how they work, hire, and give feedback.

01
Blow our customers' mindsCustomer-obsessed, not just customer-friendly.
02
Take risks. Fail fast. GSD.Big bets, fast iteration, get stuff done.
03
10x it!Don't think incremental — think transformational.
04
Be an owner. It's your company.Initiative, accountability, and skin in the game.
05
Bring your (___) self to work every dayAuthentic, whole, unapologetic.
06
Be candid and assume good intentReal feedback, given and received generously.
07
Make mom proudIntegrity in the small calls, not just the big ones.
