At ITA Group, we design experiences that change the way people connect with brands they work at, work with and buy from. We are looking to fill remote sales positions with senior-level sales professionals living in the eastern region of the United States (NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Charlotte, Nashville, Tampa, Charleston and Jacksonville).

The Employee Recognition Account Executive (AE) acts as a business hunter, focusing on identifying and winning new opportunities within ITA Group’s employee experience space. This includes holding face-to-face client meetings, leveraging sales tools, and aligning ITA Group’s solutions to clients’ business needs.

AEs must be experts in ITA Group’s employee experience solution line with services that include: employee recognition, engagement platforms, employer branding and communications, employee corporate events, learning and development, safety culture and milestone awards.

The AE plays a pivotal role in uncovering client business challenges, understanding their brand and total rewards strategy, and creating demand through strong relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers.

Once an opportunity is identified, the AE partners with internal teams to design tailored solutions grounded in client data and insights. Success is measured by the achievement of client goals, financial outcomes, and the lasting impact on employee engagement.

What does it take to be a successful AE at ITA Group?

• Have a hunter-mentality; uncovering client’s current business challenges as well as what motivates their various stakeholder groups.
• Ability to use your knowledge, network and business acumen to create demand for ITA Group’s employee experience products and services by forging strong relationships through a network of coaches and key decision makers.
• Expertise and curiosity – a deep knowledge of multiple industries’ go-to-market channel and an ability to share your knowledge in a way that earns you a spot in the c-suite of your clients.
• Act as an employee experience brand ambassador in the market (e.g., attending and acting as an expert at conferences (leading breakouts, speaking engagements, panel discussions), leadership roles in industry associations, social selling, etc.)
• Strong presentation skills, fluent in round table discussions and a knack for creating business cases to justify $1M+ investments.
• Be a team player - throughout the selling process, you will work with an internal team of experts to design activation solutions rooted in research, science and a deep understanding of our client’s needs. We then design solutions that create an emotional connection and returns on your clients’ KPIs. Throughout this process, the AE must be able to flex between leading, contributing and partnering to successfully close business.

Elements of our benefit package for the AE team include:

• Uncapped commission structure
• Leaders of Excellence annual incentive trip
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Comprehensive healthcare packages

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum of five years of experience in a consultative, business development, or sales-related role.
