Location: United States, Texas, California | Hybrid
Employment Type: Full-Time
Function: Strategic Accounts / Enterprise Sales
Seniority: Director
Compensation: $160K - $200K
Own the Relationships That Matter Most
We’re partnering confidentially with a growing enterprise technology organization to appoint a senior commercial leader responsible for a small portfolio of its most important global enterprise relationships.
This is not traditional account management. You’ll lead the strategy for 3–5 complex multinational accounts, manage and coach dedicated account owners, build C-suite relationships, and own the commercial growth of the portfolio.
The mandate is straightforward: deepen strategic relationships, expand enterprise adoption, and build credible multi-year growth plans across large global organizations.
What You’ll Own
Overall growth and commercial performance across a portfolio of strategic global accounts
Executive relationships with C-suite, SVP and VP stakeholders
Multi-year account strategies across business units, geographies, sites and use cases
Leadership and coaching of senior account owners and technical specialists
Complex pricing, negotiation and deal structuring
Executive-level account planning, forecasting and portfolio reporting
Expansion opportunities within large, matrixed organizations
Cross-functional alignment across Sales, Delivery, Product and other internal teams
Executive escalation and relationship management when required
What We’re Looking For
Required
10+ years in enterprise account management, strategic accounts or senior commercial leadership
Proven success growing large, complex global enterprise accounts
Demonstrated ability to independently build relationships at the C-suite and senior executive level
Strong commercial capability across negotiation, pricing, deal structure and forecasting
Experience owning significant revenue growth across a strategic account portfolio
Proven people leadership and coaching experience
Experience navigating complex, multi-region and multi-stakeholder organizations
Strong executive communication and presentation skills
Ability and willingness to travel extensively
Experience within enterprise technology, SaaS, industrial technology, energy, utilities, mining, oil & gas, infrastructure or other technically complex B2B environments would be particularly relevant.
Highly Valued
Strategic account leadership within Fortune 500 or comparable global organizations
Energy, utilities, mining or industrial-sector experience
Experience building or scaling a strategic accounts function
Multi-region account ownership beyond North America
Experience with enterprise MSAs and long-term expansion roadmaps
Exposure to IoT, computer vision, robotics, automation or related industrial technologies
Who Will Thrive Here?
You’re a portfolio-level commercial leader, not simply a relationship manager.
You know how to get into the executive room, establish credibility with sophisticated enterprise stakeholders, and turn strong delivery into broader commercial opportunity.
Just as importantly, you know how to lead through others. You can coach experienced account owners, strengthen commercial discipline and hold the team accountable without needing to personally control every interaction.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Own a concentrated portfolio of highly strategic global enterprise relationships
Significant executive and commercial influence
Lead and develop an experienced account team
Direct exposure to senior company leadership
Work with sophisticated multinational customers
Shape the organization's approach to strategic account growth
Build multi-year relationships rather than chase transactional sales
