SUMMARY
The Enterprise Account Executive is an experienced enterprise seller who drives new business with a high degree of independence and consistency. This role requires a consultative, insight-led sales approach - listening, uncovering challenges, and crafting solutions that deliver measurable impact.
The ideal candidate consistently closes high-value SaaS deals, skillfully manages complex sales cycles, and reliably exceeds revenue targets. This includes strong experience with large multinational companies, sophisticated buying committees and buyer journeys, and proficient-to-advanced application of MEDDPICC and Challenger selling to drive predictable outcomes.
The Account Executive operates autonomously across the full sales motion and begins to influence the broader team - sharing winning strategies and mentoring less-tenured Account Executives. The Enterprise Account Executive owns the primary relationship with prospective Avetta clients before and during their buyer journey.
Once a prospect becomes a client, the Account Executive continues to manage and service the relationship until it is fully established, at which point it transitions to the Account Management Team. If residing within commutable distance to one of our offices, a hybrid schedule would be required (3 days in office, 2 days work from home).
Candidates within commutable distance are preferred, but those outside of an office area may be considered on a remote basis.
