Account Executive, Strategic Growth

About the Role

Reporting to the Vice President, Sales, the Account Executive, Strategic Growth is responsible for growing B2B SaaS revenue within our existing client accounts by expanding Agility into new locations, business units and regions. You'll work across a portfolio of mid-market and large, complex organizations.

This is a strategic, relationship-driven expansion role. You will map complex organizations, find where Agility can add value next, build champions across teams and geographies, and guide multi-stakeholder deals from first conversation to signed agreement. Sales cycles typically run from several weeks to several months.

While uncovering expansion opportunities is a critical part of the role, you'll also own the full sales cycle: leading discovery conversations, navigating stakeholder groups, building business cases, delivering tailored demonstrations, negotiating commercial terms and closing new business.

Successful candidates are comfortable engaging senior decision-makers, navigating complex buying groups across multiple locations, and building consensus among stakeholders. You'll combine account strategy with consultative selling to uncover business challenges, position value and drive measurable outcomes for our clients.
