SUMMARY 

The Account Executive will play a key role in expanding Avetta's footprint by driving new business with mid-market and enterprise clients in the EMEA region. This role requires a consultative sales approach - listening, uncovering challenges, and crafting solutions that deliver measurable impact. The ideal candidate has a track record of closing mid to high-value SaaS deals, managing complex sales cycles, and meeting revenue targets. This includes experience working with large multinational companies, engaging complex buying committees and buyer journeys, and applying proven methodologies such as MEDDPICC -  with exposure to Challenger selling principles - to drive success. At Level I, the Account Executive operates with active guidance from sales leadership, building proficiency in Avetta's sales motion, methodology, and buyer dynamics. The Account Executive owns the primary relationship with prospective Avetta clients before and during their buyer journey. Once a prospect becomes a client, the Account Executive continues to manage and service the relationship until the account is fully established, at which point it transitions to the Account Management Team for ongoing support and expansion.

This is a hybrid role, working three days a week in our beautiful Maidenhead Office.
