Job description
We are looking for an Account Executive to join our team. The perfect person for this position will have a passion for technology and media, as well as the desire to lead in a fast-changing industry. In addition to generating your own leads, you will be supported by our dedicated outbound and inbound business development representatives, with leads generated from advertising efforts, speaking engagements, and word-of-mouth. You will drive the relationship and sale from start to finish before passing your new account over to our Client Partner team to nurture and grow.
We are looking for mid-market new business salespeople with an SME SaaS sales background and the experience to recognize buying signals and convert prospects with a consultative approach: listening and understanding where our company can help their business, coupled with negotiating and closing skills and experience.

Qualifications:
2+ years of proven success in a target-driven new business sales role—meeting and exceeding sales quota in a team-based environment
