The Opportunity :

\n

Acuative is hiring high-energy, enterprise-level hunters for our Enterprise Account Executive team. This is a blue-sky opportunity for a strategic sales leader who can build relationships from scratch, penetrate new accounts, and position Acuative's managed IT and network services as mission-critical, high-ROI solutions for large, complex organizations. You will own full-cycle enterprise sales — from prospecting through close — with multiple technical and executive stakeholders, and you'll be backed by a competitive base salary plus an uncapped commission structure that rewards net-new growth.

\n

\n

What You Will Do (Essential Functions) :

\n

\n
• Drive Revenue Growth: Own end-to-end net-new business acquisition and, where applicable, cross-sell into existing accounts — successfully navigating long, complex sales cycles to close multi-million-dollar managed service contracts within your assigned vertical.
\n
• Develop Strategy & Planning: Analyze key financial and market drivers to identify growth opportunities and build market-penetration and vertical-specific strategies — leveraging competitive insight, procurement knowledge, and regional opportunities — to drive adoption of Acuative's managed services.
\n
• Build Client Relationships: Cultivate long-term client relationships to ensure retention, satisfaction, and trust. Position managed services as strategic, mission-critical solutions, clearly articulating business value, ROI, and long-term impact to senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
\n
• Partner Cross-Functionally: Work together with Solution Architects, Pre-Sales Engineers, and Project Management to shape proposals that meet each client's technical and compliance requirements.
\n
• Lead Generation: Execute proactive prospecting and disciplined pipeline management to continuously build and maintain a strong funnel of net-new opportunities across your designated territory.
\n
• Negotiate & Close: Guide multi-stakeholder deals through evaluation, negotiation, and contracting, delivering measurable revenue results against quota.
\n

\n

\n

The Support Ecosystem :

\n

Enterprise sales professionals do not work in a silo at Acuative. You will partner closely with our world-class Solution Architects, Pre-Sales Engineers, and Project Management Offices to design, pitch, and deploy tailored, high-uptime network solutions — including distributed architectures such as SD-WAN, cellular failover, and multi-site Wi-Fi — that meet the security, compliance, and uptime demands of your vertical.
