About the Role

We are hiring an Enterprise Sales Executive to join the Strategic Accounts team in Seattle. This role is focused on deepening and expanding relationships within a defined portfolio of existing enterprise clients, driving new SOW-based IT consulting engagements across digital transformation initiatives. While new logo opportunities are welcome and encouraged, this executive will typically maintain a concentrated focus on one or more significant client relationships, serving as a trusted advisor and primary point of commercial accountability.

This is a solutions-selling role — not staffing. You will pursue and close outcome-based Statements of Work spanning system implementation, data and AI/ML, infrastructure and cloud, product and system development, cybersecurity and governance, and workplace modernization.

Key Responsibilities

Account Strategy & Business Development

• Own the commercial relationship and growth strategy within a defined portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts.
• Identify expansion opportunities by translating client business priorities, technology roadmaps, and execution challenges into qualified consulting pursuits.
• Build and maintain multi-threaded relationships with C-level, VP-level, and line-of-business stakeholders — engaging business owners, not just IT procurement.
• Research accounts continuously — earnings calls, press releases, org changes, technology announcements — and use those signals to drive proactive outreach and proposal development.
• Participate in client Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and adapt account and delivery plans accordingly.

Deal Execution & SOW Management

• Lead end-to-end pursuit of consulting SOWs and outcome-based engagements from initial discovery through signed agreement.
• Run discovery conversations that diagnose business challenges and technology gaps — translating those needs into structured, milestone-based proposals.
• Develop and present proposals packaged as outcomes: defined scope, team structure, timeline, deliverables, and success metrics.
• Negotiate commercial terms, scope, and acceptance criteria; ensure alignment between client expectations and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate cross-functional pursuit teams across Delivery, Legal, Finance, and executive stakeholders to accelerate deal cycles.

Client Partnership & Delivery Alignment

• Serve as the internal voice of the client — bringing market intelligence, account context, and feedback to delivery and leadership teams.
• Collaborate with Delivery leads to ensure proposals reflect realistic, scalable, and risk-mitigated delivery approaches.
• Own the client relationship through and beyond delivery — aligning work to measurable outcomes and using each engagement as the foundation for the next opportunity.

Pipeline & Reporting

• Maintain accurate pipeline and opportunity data in CRM; report forecast, win/loss, and engagement metrics consistently.
• Track KPIs including pipeline velocity, win rate, average deal size, and outcome attainment against agreed client SLAs.

Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years of experience in technology consulting sales, solutions engineering, or enterprise account management, with a demonstrated focus on SOW or outcome-based engagements.
• Proven track record growing revenue within existing enterprise accounts through consulting or professional services.
• Strong technical fluency across software development, data & AI, cloud platforms, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity — sufficient to hold credible conversations with VP-level technology leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to engage and build trust with C-suite and senior business stakeholders, not just IT or procurement contacts.
• Exceptional communication, executive presence, and negotiation skills.
• Disciplined approach to account research, pipeline management, and CRM hygiene.
• Ability to operate autonomously in a remote environment while effectively leading distributed pursuit and delivery teams.
• Willingness to travel for client meetings, QBRs, and industry events as needed.
• Bachelor's degree preferred; advanced degree or equivalent experience a plus.

Preferred

• Experience selling digital transformation or managed IT consulting services at enterprises with $500M+ in revenue.
• Existing senior relationships within target verticals (financial services, technology).
• Exposure to AI, cloud migration, or large-scale system implementation programs from the client or consulting side.
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and a demonstrated outbound engagement motion.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience.
• Uncapped performance-based commission tied to Gross Profit earnings.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan.
• Generous PTO and paid holidays.
• Career development, mentorship, and leadership opportunities.

Base pay range for this position is $110,000-$130,000 per year. Final annual compensation will be based on experience and may vary by geographic location.
