ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM

Are you a strategic sales professional ready to drive growth in a high-impact category? The Venue Senior Account Executive is responsible for hitting monthly sales goals by engaging with wedding professionals in our Venue and Catering categories across the United States. Using a high-volume cold calling approach and a consultative sales process, you will build rapport with business owners to advise them on industry trends and how to scale their brands through The Knot and WeddingWire's premium advertising platforms.

The Venue category requires a high level of sales maturity and the ability to navigate a longer, more complex sales cycle. Because high-impact outreach and client consultations happen when wedding professionals are most active, success in this role requires a dedicated 40-hour-per-week commitment during our standard business hours of 9:00 am - 6:00 pm EST. We are looking for professionals who understand that consistent presence is the key to managing a successful pipeline.

Applications for this role are being accepted on a rolling basis.

• Persistence & Negotiation: Proactively follow up with potential clients to negotiate contracts and maximize profit margins.
• Strategic Time Management: Organize your workday efficiently, ensuring all interactions and opportunities are meticulously tracked and updated in Salesforce.
• Team Collaboration: Work independently to hit personal targets while remaining a collaborative contributor to the broader team's success.
