Imagine an Account Executive rolewhere you can focus on doing what you do best: closing deals with a leading solution in the space. You have support to prospect a portion of your leads and your job title aligns to what you do daily.  You come to work feeling supported by your teammates and your biggest competition is yourself. You work in a cutting edge industry with creative Marketing Managers and C-suite Executives. You get to run and own your demos, but you’ve got the support behind you when you’re in need. If this sounds ideal to you, see below.
