Enterprise Account Executive

Within Enterprise Account Executive

Within is seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to own and close high-value deals within all verticals across Software, Financial Services, Retail, Industrial, etc. You'll be the tip of the spear - building a pipeline from scratch, running executive-level sales cycles, and converting Fortune-2000 institutions into Within customers. This is a full-cycle closing role: you win when deals close and customers realize value.

You'll own the entire sales motion from first outreach through signed contract, partnering with Solutions Consultants, Marketing, and Customer Success to qualify opportunities, navigate complex buying committees, and build business cases that resonate with VP, SVP, EVP, and C-Suite buyers.

This role requires someone who can walk into a boardroom of senior financial executives and command credibility from the first handshake. You're as comfortable building a territory plan from a blank sheet of paper as you are negotiating a six-figure enterprise contract with a CFO. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and treat every deal like your own business.

What You'll Do

• Build and own a territory of accounts from the ground up — sourcing pipeline through outbound prospecting, executive networking, industry events, and strategic partnerships
• Run full-cycle enterprise sales processes targeting VP, SVP, EVP, and C-Suite decision-makers, from initial discovery and qualification through negotiation and close
• Develop deep domain expertise for AI workflows to position Within's platform as a transformative solution.
• Craft and deliver compelling executive-level business cases, ROI analyses, and proposals tailored to the specific pain points and strategic priorities of each account
• Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder buying cycles across business leadership, IT, procurement, legal, and compliance building consensus and urgency at every stage
• Partner with Solutions Consultants to orchestrate proof-of-value engagements that demonstrate Within's impact using the prospect's own data and processes
• Maintain disciplined pipeline management and accurate forecasting, leveraging MEDDPICC or equivalent qualification frameworks to drive deal rigor
• Travel to meet customers and prospects in person. Face time matters, and presence at critical deal moments is essential to success

You May Be a Good Fit If You…

• Have 7+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience with a consistent track record of exceeding quota, including at least 3 years selling into Financial Services, banking, insurance, asset management, or Private Equity firms
• Have a proven history of building territory from scratch - you've done the zero-to-one work, not just inherited a book of business or rode a wave of inbound leads
• Are skilled at selling to senior executives (VP, SVP, EVP, C-Suite) and can articulate business value in the language of financial outcomes, not just product features
• Possess strong financial acumen - you understand how financial institutions and PE firms operate, how they evaluate technology investments, and what drives their decision-making
• Have experience managing complex, six- and seven-figure enterprise deal cycles with multiple stakeholders, long timelines, and rigorous procurement processes
• Display commitment and resilience with prior employers — we value loyalty and grit, and we're not looking for candidates who jump every 18–24 months
• Are AI-native, not AI-adjacent - you intuitively understand and use AI in your own daily work to sharpen your craft, not just talk about it in meetings
• Have high coachability with no ego - this world is changing fast, and we need growth-mindset people willing to adapt with it
• Are customer-obsessed with an entrepreneurial spirit, strong opinions, and a bias for action

Strong Candidates May Also…

• Have direct experience selling AI or digital transformation technology into Financial Services or PE accounts and can articulate technical differentiation against both technology competitors and consulting-led alternatives
• Bring a rolodex of executive-level relationships across major financial institutions, PE firms, or portfolio companies that can be activated from day one
• Have experience partnering with or selling alongside Big-4 and management consulting firms - you understand how technology vendors co-sell with professional services organizations in financial services
• Have sold into complex regulatory environments and understand the compliance, security, and data governance requirements that Financial Services buyers demand
• Bring a track record of building sales playbooks, account plans, and go-to-market strategies for new verticals from scratch - you've done the zero-to-one work, not just executed an existing motion
• Can balance strategic, long-cycle deal management with the hustle and urgency of an early-stage sales organization - and actually enjoy both
