About the Role

Summary

We are seeking an accomplished and results-driven Enterprise Account Executive to join our growing North America Enterprise Sales team. This position offers the opportunity to partner with some of the world's leading organizations as they address critical workforce transformation, AI adoption, digital skills, cloud, data, and technology talent challenges. The Enterprise Account Executive is responsible for identifying, developing, and closing strategic opportunities across enterprise customers while building trusted relationships with senior business and technology leaders.

The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment where innovation, collaboration, accountability, and customer outcomes are at the center of everything we do.

This is primarily a new business acquisition role focused on generating, developing, and closing opportunities within net-new enterprise accounts as well as re-engaging dormant and former customers.

Approximately 80-90% of this role's focus will be on net-new logo acquisition, customer win-back initiatives, and outbound business development activities. Success in this role requires a proactive hunter mentality, consistent outbound activity, strong account penetration strategies, and the ability to create demand within complex enterprise organizations.

• Proven success developing opportunities through both net-new business acquisition and strategic account expansion.

• Experience engaging and influencing Director, VP, and C-level decision-makers.

• Strong account planning, pipeline management, forecasting, and territory development skills.

• Executive presence and confidence engaging senior decision-makers.

• Demonstrated hunter mentality with a passion for acquiring new customers and opening new enterprise accounts.
