About the Role

We're looking for a driven, curious, and commercially minded Enterprise Account Executive to join our growing US sales team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to build or accelerate their career in enterprise technology sales. You might already have experience in B2B sales, or you could be coming from a client-facing background in consulting, financial services, professional services, or another commercially focused environment.

We're less concerned about whether you've followed a traditional sales career path and more interested in your ability to build relationships, understand complex business challenges, think strategically, and drive results.

You'll work closely with our sales leadership team to identify new business opportunities, engage senior decision-makers, and introduce PERSUIT's platform to leading corporate legal teams.

What You'll Do

• Identify, research, and develop new business opportunities with enterprise organizations across the US with full ownership of the sales cycle.
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders, including General Counsel, legal operations leaders, and other key decision-makers.
• Take a thoughtful, personalized approach to prospecting and outreach, understanding each organization's challenges and priorities.
• Lead discovery conversations to uncover business needs and communicate how PERSUIT can deliver value.
• Develop and manage a pipeline of opportunities, working toward individual revenue targets.
• Collaborate with sales leadership and cross-functional teams to develop account strategies, deliver compelling presentations, and progress opportunities.
• Learn to navigate complex enterprise buying processes involving multiple stakeholders.
• Stay informed on industry trends, customer challenges, and developments in legal technology.
• Continuously develop your commercial skills, product knowledge, and consultative selling approach.

What We're Looking For

• Someone driven, curious, competitive, and coachable
• Experience in a client-facing, commercially focused role, such as B2B sales, business development, consulting, financial services, or professional services.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to engage and influence stakeholders.
• Intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly understand new industries, business challenges, and complex solutions.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with a strong desire to learn, improve, and achieve results.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think strategically about customer needs.
• Resilience, competitiveness, and a willingness to take ownership of outcomes.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A collaborative mindset and openness to coaching and feedback.
• Genuine interest in technology, business transformation, and building a career in enterprise sales.

You don't need to have held an Enterprise Account Executive title before. We welcome candidates with transferable skills, commercial potential, and the motivation to succeed in a fast-paced sales environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience in B2B SaaS, technology sales, or business development.
• Experience working with enterprise clients or senior business stakeholders.
• Background in management consulting, professional services, finance, or legal services.
• Familiarity with CRM tools such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
• Experience with prospecting, consultative selling, or managing commercial relationships.

We have a collaborative NYC office and welcome candidates who enjoy working in person with their teammates. However, we're also open to strong candidates outside the NYC area.

Work Authorization

Candidates must have current, valid work authorization in the country where the role is based. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide sponsorship for visas or work permits at this time.
