The Corporate Strategic Sales team focuses on the global growth & expansion of the Top 120 customers headquartered in each region of the world. Working collaboratively within a Pod of other sales professionals, the team is focused on delivering best-in-class sales execution & customer experience through building executive-level relationships and constructing business cases to support Enterprise deployments of AlphaSense. 

About the Role: 

We are looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial, driven and accomplished strategic new business sales professional to join our growing Corporate Sales team. Global Strategic Account Leaders are ultimately tasked with accelerating growth at some of Alpha-Sense’s largest & highest potential accounts globally.

Responsibilities will include building & aligning the strategy, collaborating and marshalling cross-functional resources, establishing key relationships at the top of the organization, and delivering a mature value-based strategic sales motion while Regional Account Executives within your pod execute a bottoms-up strategy. With a track record of sales success, you’ll focus on selling to the largest international companies headquartered in EMEA & APAC.

In your first six months, you'll embed within an existing Pod, learning how our Strategic team operates, our account planning rhythms, and the velocity of our sales motion.
