Enterprise Account Executive - 1631614

GTM Search is recruiting an Enterprise AE for our well-funded, profitable, pre-IPO SaaS business client that operates in the travel spend & expense management space.

This role will be the first boots on the ground to work alongside the VP Sales and we’re specifically looking for candidates that have experience in the space having sold to Finance/Procurement/Travel leaders across the global Top 1000 enterprise businesses.

Our client is a market leader in data fusion, analysis, prediction and automation of critical decision making for businesses. Using integrative AI technology, companies can make tactical decisions to improve their strategies, policies, and forecasts.

A principal use of their solution is to measure, forecast and execute policies surrounding ‘Employee Generated Spend’ (EGS) allowing large global corporations and organisations to make decisions around spend management, supplier management, sustainability and governance for activity that has historically been opaque and impossible to effectively manage.

Our Culture

We take pride in creating a work environment that promotes invention, independence and transparency. Our social and 'open door' approach allows everyone to show initiative, express creativity and collaborate across the business. Our team consists of valuable and knowledgeable industry experts who seek to push the boundaries of technology, data analytics and AI. 

We are looking for people with ideas and solutions that they can execute to improve the way we do things, and to help our clients improve their business.

As an Enterprise AE, you will play a critical role in driving our enterprise sales efforts. You will be responsible for identifying and cultivating relationships with key decision-makers within large global organisations who typically have tens or hundreds of thousands of employees.

Your goal will be to understand their business needs, present our solutions, and ultimately close deals that drive revenue and growth.

We are seeking a problem-solver, who is comfortable working in a scale-up environment, with excellent questioning and listening skills aligned with strong knowledge of how to sell to Global Top 1000 enterprise businesses.
