The Role:

Morning Consult is looking to add an ambitious, entrepreneurial Account Executive who will continue accelerating our high-velocity growth by attracting and retaining enterprise clients. This role requires the drive and intellectual curiosity to apply our cutting-edge market research products to a range of industries and enterprise use cases.

Key Responsibilities and Essential Functions:

  • Achieve growth targets and secure timely renewals by attracting and retaining enterprise clients
  • Research, develop, and manage new and existing commercial opportunities through in-person events, outbound pitches, and inbound requests
  • Steward Salesforce CRM to track activities, manage pipeline, and inform strategic decision-making at the firm
  • Help draft sales material, including: client proposals, marketing documents, and case studies
  • Partner internally with client services team members, legal, finance and other stakeholders to drive urgency and secure commercial outcomes
  • Ability to travel up to 50% of the time (when it is safe to resume business travel)

  • 5+ years experience leading sales or account management at a software, data, consulting or market research firm
