Enterprise Account Executive — Land & Expand

Account Executive, Large Enterprise Sales San Diego, CA 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.
