Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel.

• Build and manage a pipeline of renewals, cross-sells, and upsells against monthly and quarterly revenue targets
• Lead commercial conversations including executive business reviews and negotiations for multi-product renewals and upsells

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Engagement Managers to deliver a seamless customer experience and surface insights that drive adoption

Who you are

• 3 or more years of SaaS experience in account management, renewals, or expansion sales
• Track record of exceeding commercial targets through renewals and upsells, with quota-carrying experience preferred
• Strong consultative selling skills and comfort leading discovery, demos, and business reviews with senior stakeholders
• Excellent negotiation and closing skills with the ability to manage complex deals and procurement processes
• High emotional intelligence and communication skills, able to build trust quickly and manage multiple stakeholder relationships
