Job Description

About Our Client:
Our client is a modern survey programming company that empowers consultants and investors to get deep insights faster. They specialize in time-critical market research surveys, enabling clients to quickly build surveys and access actionable, high-quality data.

Position Overview:
 As an Account Executive, you will play a key role in driving sales growth by hunting and closing new business opportunities.

• Identify client needs and position our client’s platform as the solution for custom survey programming and primary research challenges.
• Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting to contract negotiation and deal closure.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships to ensure long-term satisfaction and repeat business.
• Represent the company at industry events and client meetings, traveling up to 25% of the time.

Ideal Candidate:

• Strong track record in consulting and/or private equity sales.
• Experienced in primary market research, qualitative interviews, or quantitative surveys.
• Skilled at full-cycle sales, including prospecting, presenting, negotiating, and closing.
• Highly self-motivated, autonomous, and comfortable in a hunter-heavy role.
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills.

Why Join:

• Be part of a fast-growing, remote-first company with a global presence.
• Work with senior decision-makers in consulting and private equity sectors.
• Take full ownership of the sales process and have a direct impact on company growth.
