About the role
Klaviyo is a public company with more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue. Enterprise is our fastest growing segment, where global brands are consolidating their marketing and customer data onto Klaviyo and spending over seven figures a year with us. We have expanded beyond retail into hospitality, media, healthcare, and business services.
You will go after some of the largest brands in the world, including Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, prospecting your way in and taking full responsibility for your pipeline target.
Most of these companies run separate tools for email, SMS, customer data, and service. We win by bringing it all onto one platform and getting the customer to results faster. Once they are live, you will keep growing the account and lead the renewal.
