As an Senior Sales Executive, you will lead account strategy and executive engagement for a portfolio of approximately 50 key customers, ensuring retention, growth and customer advocacy.

- The role carries a business development component, with an approximate 70/30 split between growing existing accounts and pursuing new prospects already identified
- Drive additional sales within the account (new product adoptions, upgrades) by recognising client business needs and coordinating with pre-sales to propose relevant solutions
- Own detailed account information, opportunity pipelines, and engagement notes in the CRM, providing transparency and insight into account status and opportunities for the organisation.
