The Role

Bring your expertise to a highly collaborative, creative, and innovative team with a market-leading technology product suite. We are seeking an accomplished and ambitious account executive to join our Client Development (enterprise sales) team to help drive new client acquisition and our broader go-to-market strategy across EMEA. Importantly, this role will be one of Chronograph's first team members located in the United Kingdom, and there will be significant opportunities to help build and scale an international presence from our London offices.

You will work closely across stakeholders to expand our client development and sales function in London, with a focus on lead generation, evaluation ownership, proof of concept design & execution, negotiation and closing. This position will report to the Global Head of Sales, with engagement across the organization globally.

• Leverage succinct communication skills to engage and ensure product resonance with executive-level stakeholders.
• Develop deep understanding of client use cases to deliver creative and thoughtful solutions.

You will be successful in the role if you have:
