Role Overview

The Large Enterprise Account Executive is a strategic, high-growth role designed for proven closers ready to own the Large Enterprise segment. You will own a portfolio of high-potential accounts and untapped non-retail verticals, with the full support of Klaviyo's Large Enterprise organization behind you.

This is a unique role: you will close your own deals across emerging verticals and higher-velocity Large Enterprise accounts, while bringing the drive and instincts of a proven closer to the sophisticated multi-threading, executive alignment, and strategic deal-making that defines the segment. You will act as a key partner to the Large Enterprise (LENT) team, collaborating on complex opportunities and sharpening the enterprise instincts that define the most successful sellers in the industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Territory Ownership: Develop and execute a land and expand strategy for Velocity accounts and high-potential non-retail organizations. You will be the primary driver of new business within this strategic whitespace.
• Collaborative Selling: Partner with Large Enterprise (LENT) AEs on complex, high-value opportunities. You will have the ability to request LENT support for larger deals in exchange for an agreed-upon split, providing you with a front-row seat to enterprise deal mechanics.
• Enterprise Pipeline Acceleration: Take ownership of pre-qualified, high-potential opportunities that come with enterprise deal context already established — including stakeholder mapping, business objectives, and organizational dynamics. You inherit a running start and a built-in collaborative rep on the other side of every co-sell, turning each deal into both a revenue opportunity and a demonstration of enterprise sales excellence.
• Vertical-Specific Prospecting: Conduct personalized, multi-threaded outreach into non-retail verticals, tailoring our value proposition to specific industry pain points and digital transformation goals.
• ROI-Driven Discovery: Lead deep-dive discovery sessions to move beyond features. You will build ROI-backed business cases and bespoke demos that speak directly to the KPIs of C-suite stakeholders.
• Pipeline Rigor & Forecasting: Maintain impeccable Salesforce hygiene. You are expected to manage a diverse pipeline with clear stages, why/why not documentation, and accurate forecasting that provides clear visibility to Sales Ops.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the quarterback for your deals, coordinating BDRs, Solutions Architects, and Marketing teams to ensure a unified and professional sales motion.

Qualifications

• Proven Track Record: 3-6 years of experience as a closing Account Executive in a SaaS or high-growth tech environment, with a strong performance record at the Large Enterprise level.
• Communication Mastery: Exceptional ability to present to large groups, with the tonal intelligence to pivot between technical users and executive buyers.
• Consultative Hunter: Strong discovery skills with the ability to translate complex business objectives into tangible, ROI-justified use cases.
• Enterprise Expertise: A proactive approach to multi-threading and a demonstrated track record navigating complex buying committees (IT, Finance, Marketing, and Procurement).
• Tools & Hygiene: Proficiency in Salesforce, Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and Gong. We value data-driven sellers who treat their CRM as a strategic asset.
• Analytical Mindset: Comfortable interpreting funnel signals and applying core business metrics (ROI, TCO, etc.) to build a compelling case for the platform.
• Growth Mindset: An active desire to learn, an openness to coaching, and a collaborative spirit.
