The RoleAs a Senior Account Executive, you will take ownership of developing new client relationships and establishing a stronger market presence across Tennessee.

- A successful track record of developing relationships with senior executives and enterprise decision-makers.
- Experience selling complex, consultative technology solutions rather than purely transactional products.
- Strong prospecting, networking and relationship-building capabilities.
- Experience identifying client challenges and translating them into commercial opportunities.
- Confidence engaging with mid-market and enterprise organisations, particularly businesses with revenues of approximately $250 million to $1 billion.
- Ability to work independently, establish market presence and develop opportunities in a relatively new territory.

Success in Nashville could also create opportunities to influence expansion into other major US markets and potentially progress into wider commercial or sales leadership responsibilities.
