The Role
Based in New York City, the Senior Sales Account Executive will play a critical role in driving growth across blue-chip enterprise and mid-market accounts, owning renewals, upsells, and net new logo acquisition with a strong emphasis on strategic relationship building and durable revenue expansion.

You’ll lead enterprise sales activities across the North American market, build and manage a robust self‑generated pipeline, lead discovery, navigate multi‑stakeholder buying processes and drive deals to close. Your success will come from driving new customer acquisition, managing renewals and expansions, and maintaining exceptional CRM hygiene in HubSpot to support accurate forecasting and collaboration.
