About this role
Enterprise Account Executive, New Business Development
Affiliate Marketing / MarTech — Acceleration Partners
LOCATION
This is a remote, work-from-home role, as are all positions at Acceleration Partners, a structure central to our culture and our vision to change the work/life paradigm. Some travel is required for client meetings, internal meetings, conferences, and other events. Applicants can be based in the US, UK, or Germany.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a hunter to drive new client acquisition for our Affiliate Marketing & Influencer Services. This is a new business development role built for someone who thrives on opening doors: sourcing opportunities, building relationships with enterprise decision-makers, and running a deal from first contact through close. Our marketing team generates inbound leads and our sales support team provides collateral and financial modeling, but the right candidate won't wait for leads to come to them.
This role is built around a team-based selling model. You bring the opportunity in the door, qualify it, and manage the relationship and the process; our strategy and account management teams build the narrative, the strategic recommendation, and lead the pitch delivery. You're the connective tissue between the prospect and our experts, and the role suits driven, relationship-first sellers who want to sell alongside a strong internal team rather than carry the full strategic load alone.
