• Invest in meaningful relationships with economic buyers and advisors in your accounts by providing high-quality customer engagement activities (training, quarterly business reviews) on the solutions in which they have already invested.  
• Build custom presentations and demonstrations based on customer defined objectives and goals versus needs. 
• Be open, collaborative, and customer-focused in all communications and transactions with your global account team and clients. 
• Close all orders with the larger LinkedIn investment in mind and provide post-contract support to ensure product delivery and satisfaction. 
• Demonstrate sales operational excellence by using our CRM tracking activities and, most importantly, forecasting. 

In your first 12 months in this role, you will accomplish:  

• Over-attainment of individual quota targets while understanding how your efforts contributed to the wider account team success. 
• A deep understanding of some of LinkedIn’s most complex global accounts, how to plan and prioritize across this complexity and significantly increased business acumen. 
• An understanding of how to manage & deliver to value for long-term partnerships and at the long-tail to support broader account-based objectives. 

Basic Qualifications: 

• 4+ years of customer facing, quota carrying sales, account, or relationship management roles. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Ability to understand complex requirements and craft custom solutions. 
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to work with Excel & PP.

• Experience closing new business and managing existing accounts.  
• Ability to translate data and insights into crisp and relevant customer narratives.
