We’re looking for a commercially minded professional who can bring a strong point of view to the client’s business, challenge conventional thinking, and introduce fresh perspectives on data, analytics, and AI. In this role you will engage confidently with senior stakeholders, including VPs, SVPs, Heads of Commercial Excellence, Heads of Data, and AI Leads, and lead strategic conversations about transforming commercial organizations. As an Account Executive you should feel comfortable connecting business challenges with relevant technology solutions and discussing their value independently, without relying on continuous support from technical experts.

• Run insightful discovery conversations, challenge assumptions where appropriate, uncover strategic business needs, and connect them to innovative data, AI and technology solutions.
• Educate prospects on emerging trends in commercial data, analytics and AI, helping shape their thinking and identify opportunities they may not yet see.
• Able to collaborate effectively with solution architects, delivery leaders and subject matter experts while remaining the commercial leader of the opportunity.
• Keep the CRM accurate so pipeline and forecast can be trusted.
• Feed market and offering signals back to the team.
• Attend external and internal events representing the company and hunting for new opportunities.

Qualifications:

• US based in NJ/PA area, able to cover accounts headquartered in the US and Western Europe.

• Proven ability to work on-site in a collaborative environment, prioritize multiple accounts, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced setting.
• Strong curiosity about technology, especially AI, data and analytics, with the ability to discuss solutions confidently and credibly with both business and technical stakeholders.

• Able to hold substantive conversations with senior commercial, data, and digital leaders in large enterprises.
• Patient and strategic with long, multi stakeholder buying cycles, without going quiet between milestones.
• Self directed and organized, able to build an account plan and work it consistently.
