Senior Account Executive

Some salespeople manage accounts. You hunt them. You’re not the type who waits for inbound leads or works a recycled list someone handed you. You wake up thinking about who you haven’t called yet. You find a thread in a conversation and pull it until an opportunity appears. And when you close something, you’re already thinking about the next one. If that’s your natural gear, we should talk. Why This Role Is Different Most companies hiring at your level are handing you a defended territory — existing accounts, established relationships, a ceiling you’ll hit in 18 months. This isn’t that. Pel Hughes has a strong foundation and a wide‑open map. The clients we haven’t reached yet — in healthcare, insurance, financial services, gaming, hospitality, and utilities — represent significant, largely untapped opportunity. We’re not asking you to protect what exists. We’re asking you to go build something. And here’s what makes that possible: we don’t move slow. No committees, no eight layers of approval, no waiting three weeks for someone to get back to you. When you find an opportunity worth chasing, you’ll have the backing of people who make decisions fast and get out of your way. What You’d Be Selling Pel Hughes is a 71‑year‑old, woman‑owned company based in New Orleans — and we are not your typical print and direct mail business. We execute sophisticated, high‑volume communication programs that our clients absolutely cannot afford to get wrong. We’re talking about healthcare systems managing patient communications. Insurers running renewal campaigns. Financial institutions handling compliance‑critical customer correspondence. Gaming and hospitality brands running loyalty and acquisition programs at scale. Utilities communicating with millions of customers across complex regulatory environments. These organizations need a partner they can trust with their data, their timelines, and their reputation. We’ve built the infrastructure — and the SOC 2 Type I certification — to be exactly that. What we deliver: Personalized direct mail and variable data print Mission‑critical and secure customer communications Database‑driven campaign automation Cross‑media marketing programs Fulfillment services and branded merchandise What We’re Looking For You’ve probably already got a track record. Deals closed, accounts opened, maybe a book of business you’d bring with you. You know how to get in front of the right people and you know how to earn their trust fast. More specifically, you might have: Existing relationships in healthcare, insurance, financial services, gaming, hospitality, or utilities Experience selling complex, data‑driven communication or direct mail solutions A history of breaking into enterprise or mid‑market accounts others couldn’t crack The instinct to spot a problem before a client even knows they have one This is not an entry‑level role. We’re looking for someone who walks in ready — and hits the ground running. What You’d Be Doing Hunting new business in priority verticals, relentlessly and systematically Opening strategic accounts and building relationships that last Diagnosing client communication challenges and bringing solutions that actually fit Collaborating with our internal data, production, and client service teams to deliver on what you promiseTurning first wins into recurring programs and long‑term partnerships Compensation We build offers to match what you bring. Strong base salary, uncapped commission, and real upside for candidates who arrive with momentum. If you’re the right person, we’ll structure something that makes the move worth making. #J-18808-Ljbffr
