The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Strategic Account Executive to join our team remotely in the United States. In this role, you will own and grow a focused portfolio of Planview’s largest and most complex accounts. You’ll build durable executive relationships, shape multi-year account strategies, create new demand, and bring together the right teams to deliver transformational outcomes for customers and meaningful, sustained growth for Planview.
What You'll Do
- Own and grow a focused portfolio of strategic accounts, developing deep knowledge of each customer’s business, priorities, organization, and decision-making landscape.
- Build and execute multi-year account strategies that connect customer priorities to Planview’s platform and Value Framework, creating a path to measurable customer value and durable growth.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives—including CIOs, CFOs, and CTOs—as well as other senior decision-makers; develop executive sponsors throughout the customer relationship.
- Create demand by uncovering whitespace, engaging new stakeholders, and identifying unmet needs and strategic initiatives rather than relying only on existing projects or formal RFPs.
- Lead complex enterprise sales cycles and close large, transformational, multi-product and platform deals, as well as major renewals and expansion opportunities.
- Lead commercially sophisticated negotiations and structure substantial, multi-year agreements that balance customer value with sustainable business outcomes.
- Address complex customer challenges and orchestrate internal and external contributors—including executive leadership, Product, Customer Support, Services, Legal, Finance, and partners—to shape solutions and deliver account outcomes.
- Maintain a clear view of account health, growth plans, risks, and sales forecasts; adapt account strategy and forecast opportunities accurately to support sustained expansion.
- Share insights from strategic customer relationships, market trends, and competitive positioning to influence Planview’s sales strategy and go-to-market direction; advise senior leadership on account strategy and market direction.
- Serve as a subject matter expert and mentor to the broader sales organization, sharing best practices in strategic account management and enterprise selling.
What You'll Bring
- 8+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience and a demonstrated record of materially growing strategic customer accounts over time—not only closing a single large deal.
- Experience owning a small portfolio of very large, complex accounts, including global organizations, with account depth beyond managing a broad enterprise territory.
- Strong executive-level selling skills and a record of building credibility and durable relationships with C-suite decision-makers, particularly CIOs, CFOs, and CTOs.
- Success developing and executing multi-year account strategies tied to customer priorities and long-term growth.
- A consultative, value-based selling approach, including the ability to position solutions around customer outcomes and ROI and apply Planview’s Value Framework.
- A track record of generating demand and finding whitespace by uncovering new business needs, stakeholders, and opportunities—not simply responding to existing projects or RFPs.
- Success closing large, transformational deals involving multiple products or a platform solution, and leading high-value contract negotiations and multi-year partnership agreements.
- Strong cross-functional leadership, influence, and judgment to align executives, Product, Customer Support, Services, Legal, Finance, and partners around customer outcomes.
- The ability to assess account health, identify risks and growth opportunities, and produce accurate forecasts.
- Deep experience with Salesforce.com and modern sales technology.
- Excellent executive presence, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders at all levels.
- A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; an MBA is a plus.
- Whether you have some, or all of these, we want to hear from you if you believe your background and experience might be a fit!
