About the role

Strategic account executive responsible for owning the full enterprise sales cycle, selling WRITER’s AI agent platform to global enterprises, and partnering with cross-functional teams to drive multi-year, multi-million dollar AI transformations.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full enterprise sales cycle from prospecting through close, managing complex deals with 8-18 month sales cycles and navigating multi-stakeholder buying committees across procurement, legal, IT, and business units
  • Drive net-new revenue by identifying, qualifying, and developing strategic opportunities within target verticals and named account lists, consistently building a robust pipeline that exceeds coverage targets
  • Engage C-level executives and senior decision-makers in consultative discovery to understand their business priorities, uncover transformational use cases, and position WRITER as the strategic platform to achieve their AI vision
  • Partner cross-functionally with solutions engineering, product, and customer success teams to architect tailored solutions, run successful pilots, and ensure seamless deployments that deliver measurable business outcomes
  • Lead complex negotiations involving multi-year contracts, custom pricing structures, and enterprise terms, while maintaining deal momentum and driving consensus across diverse stakeholder groups
  • Become a trusted product expert who educates prospects on how to set up and leverage WRITER's AI agent platform, going hands-on during critical evaluation phases to demonstrate value and accelerate time-to-deployment
  • Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy, consistently delivering predictable revenue results while providing leadership with transparent visibility into deal progression and risk factors

Qualifications

  • 7-10+ years of quota-carrying strategic SaaS sales experience with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding annual quotas in complex, value-based sales motions targeting Fortune 500 and Global 2000 accounts
  • Demonstrated expertise in managing sophisticated enterprise sales cycles with multiple stakeholders, navigating procurement processes, and orchestrating cross-functional resources to drive deals through technical evaluations and executive approvals
  • Executive presence and communication skills that allow you to credibly engage with C-suite buyers (CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, COOs), translate complex technical concepts into business value, and build authentic relationships based on trust and strategic insight
  • Strong consultative selling skills with the ability to conduct discovery that uncovers underlying business challenges, connects AI capabilities to measurable outcomes, and creates urgency around transformation initiatives
  • Experience in outbound prospecting, account mapping, and territory planning, with a hunter mentality that drives you to consistently create new opportunities rather than waiting for inbound leads
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for ownership – thrive in fast-paced environments where you’re expected to figure things out, make decisions with incomplete information, and drive your own success with minimal oversight
  • Deep alignment with WRITER's values: Connect across functions, Challenge the status quo, and Own outcomes with accountability and long-term impact
