- Strategic Account Expansion: Partner with dedicated Account Managers to identify whitespace, uncover new buying centers, and execute targeted expansion campaigns within top-tier enterprise accounts.
Key Responsibilities
- Commercial & Pipeline Execution: Conduct proactive outreach, qualify inbound/outbound leads, and build actionable pipeline within multi-million-dollar core account books.
- In-Person Client Engagement: Participate in client site visits, industry conferences, and executive briefings to build executive rapport and support contract renewals and upsells.
- Account Intelligence & Whitespace Analysis: Analyze client workflows, usage metrics, and industry developments to prepare comprehensive pre-meeting briefs and identify risk or growth indicators.
- Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate with Product Specialists, Legal, Commercial Operations, and Senior Leadership to drive complex deals to closure in a timely manner.
- Multitasking & Time Management: Simultaneously balance unstructured prospecting, structured training, campaign execution, and multi-stakeholder follow-ups in a fast-paced environment.
