Role Description

The Account Executive drives growth for our Custom business through a mix of outbound prospecting and active account management, and is assigned a book of active and lapsed accounts to manage and grow while also building new pipeline through cold outreach and prospecting. This role blends new business development with the relationship-building and follow-through needed to keep existing accounts engaged and reactivate ones that have gone quiet.

This role suits someone ambitious and self-directed, comfortable setting their own priorities and taking ownership of their own results. The Account Executive will have real autonomy in how they manage their book and build their pipeline, backed by a team invested in their growth. Consistent activity and follow-through are key to success in this role.
