The role:
The Enterprise Account Executive will manage a book of business of school district accounts consisting of current customer districts (upsell growth), active accounts (districts with open opportunities that need to be worked to closure), and new districts without opportunities that will be new business. You will be responsible for building relationships with key decision makers at the district level, in addition to selling Newsela's suite of products, to bring engaging learning content to school districts in your region. You will work complex deals to closure with C-level contacts that require deep multi-threaded relationships. You'll employ solution based selling techniques and solution mapping, along with your strong negotiation and closing skills, to ensure school board preparation and approval. You'll create and maintain an aggressive pipeline, and will build and adjust strategic account plans for key accounts to move each account through the sales cycle. In your day to day, you will do everything from pipeline management and forecasting, to designing lead generation campaigns and managing sales through the entire lifecycle. You'll also maintain pristine data cleanliness in Salesforce by ensuring each account's data and sales cycle stage is always up to date, and the necessary account details are input in a timely manner. You will also become well-versed in your territory's funding, state initiatives, demographics, and K-12 education landscape, which will help inform your overall sales strategy. Reporting to the Regional Sales Director, you'll partner with your assigned Solution Architect, Sales Development Rep, School Rep, and Customer Success Manager to manage the district lifecycle from first meeting through renewal.
