About this role
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Enterprise Account Executive to join our dynamic sales team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for identifying and closing new business opportunities with enterprise-level clients, which are companies with 5k employees and above. You will implement a land and expand strategy to grow and maintain long-term client relationships.
What you’ll be doing:
Identify, prospect, and qualify new enterprise-level business and upsell opportunities within assigned territory
Coordinate and work with Udemy Business team (Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, Product, Deal Desk, Legal, key executives) to ensure territory success; customer satisfaction, expansion and retention
Build and maintain strong relationships with key decision-makers to understand clients’ business objectives and challenges to effectively position our solutions as a strategic fit

Lead negotiations and close complex sales deals, ensuring contracts are executed accurately and in a timely manner
Stay updated on industry trends, market dynamics, customer feedback and competitor activities; then relay and share any insights with your team!
What you’ll have
While this work is based more on the skills a person has than what they have done, we think a typical profile could include the following:
We are looking for a highly motivated, over-achieving “hunter and closer” who flourishes in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
A minimum of 7+ years of closing experience in B2B Enterprise sales (SaaS experience preferred) or equivalent
Success in opportunity creation and “full funnel” management of many opportunities
Proven history of exceeding targets in selling licenses/products/subscriptions to Enterprise organizations with demonstrated ownership of all aspects of territory management
We understand that not everyone will match each of the above qualifications. However, we also realize that everyone has unique experiences that can add value to our company. Even if you think your background might not perfectly align, we’d love to hear from you!
Life at Udemy
We aspire to be as vibrant and dynamic as the communities we serve, as inquisitive as those who use our platform, and as revolutionary as the future we strive to open for everyone. Here are some of the things we love about life at Udemy:
We’re invested in creating an inclusive environment that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. From creating employee resource groups, ensuring we’re a Fair Pay Workplace, and building a flexible work culture, our belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion (BEDI) initiatives always put our people first. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to work because when we all do, we’re better for it.
Learning is what we do – inside and out. Our Learning & Development team is second to none, helping ensure your journey is one of continuous progression. You’ll also have unlimited access to Udemy courses, monthly UDays (meeting-free professional development days), and a generous annual professional development stipend.
Our reason to exist is to revolutionize learning – that calls for taking risks and learning from failures. Whether it’s our hackathons (a company-wide effort to envision new possibilities for our product) or sharing our prototypes, we see experimentation as a crucial step on the path to success.
We’re committed to creating world-class employee experiences and are proud of the recognition of this by Great Place to Work.
Of course, the best thing about being part of Udemy is knowing your work makes a difference for people and organizations around the world. You’ve got the skills; why not use them to help others develop theirs?
At Udemy, we value diversity and inclusion and consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or family status, veteran status, medical condition, or disability.
