The Role
This is a hybrid /hub role working from your home in London, which means you may be expected to work from a designated co-working space from time to time, and will otherwise work remotely from home, until such time as a dedicated office is established.
- Account Executives (AEs) are responsible for leading sales efforts, expanding new business, cross-sells and renewals within existing accounts to meet, exceed financial and business objectives.
- AEs are the account owners and coordinate all activities within their accounts – ISR/SDR for new opportunities, Solution Engineers (SE) for technical pre/post sales, executive sponsorship, etc.
- AEs will be focused on our “build territories” handling a larger number of accounts with smaller ARR, but a large white space potential for growth. The AE territory will approximately consist of 70% expansion accounts and 30% new logos.
