Strategic account executive (East)

📐 About this role

We’re looking for a collaborative and builder-oriented enterprise sales rep experienced at helping prospective customers at large companies navigate the evaluation, business case development, and procurement of transformative technology.

Your objective will be to help convert strategic prospects into customers (8k+ FTE). You will be responsible for generating pipeline from ideal customer profile (ICP) accounts within your account set.

Your positivity, sense of curiosity, and ability to create champions from early adopters in the AI space will help shape our entire culture.

🦸🏻‍♀️ Your responsibilities

• Generate pipeline from ICP accounts via value-driven outbounding

• Develop a deep understanding of our users and why they are exploring WRITER

• Become a trusted product expert, educating users on how to set up WRITER to unlock value, going hands-on where needed

• Become an expert in the wide range of use cases in which WRITER can drive business transformation across different industries

• Guide prospects through trials with clear criteria for success; pull in key stakeholders early and help the team reach Buy consensus

• Lead champions through their internal budgeting, legal, security, and procurement processes (this is an evangelical sale where there is rarely an existing line item for the solution)

• Drive a complex sales cycle from prospect to close

⭐️ Is this you?

• 8+ years in a B2B SaaS closing role focused on selling into Fortune 100 organizations 

• Ability to run an end to end sales cycle from prospecting to close to expansion – we do have solutions architects but many times you will demo the product yourself! 

• Experience handling a complex sales cycle, selling into technical buyer personas (CIO, CTO, or AI/innovation leaders) and LOBs, with a multithreaded sale

• Top performer with a track record of demonstrable, consistent performance, consistently meeting, and exceeding quotas

• Experience helping prospects build a business case to secure executive sponsorship

• Experience with value-based selling and building out ROI through deal cycles (but still know the product almost as well as the solutions architects 🤓)

• Experience working with legal, security, and/or procurement teams to win deals

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Strong sales process: you are thoughtful about how to make sales repeatable for yourself

• Comfortable asking the tough questions, working cross-departmentally, and working under high pressure

• Record of building strong and lasting customer relationships

🍩 Benefits & perks (US Full-time employees)

• Generous PTO, plus company holidays

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family

• Paid parental leave for all parents (12 weeks)
