Account Executive
POSITION SUMMARY:
Architech is one of the fastest growing technology firms in Toronto and we’re looking for a driven and talented Account Executive to join our team. This role requires strong sales skills within an existing group of accounts, coupled with the ability to take new leads within a vertical and grow them into stable, long-term accounts.
We’re an innovation accelerator. This means we help our accounts move through to a solution and launch faster than they might be accustomed to or expect. As a member of the Sales team, you’ll usher our clients through our approach, taking care to ensure all members of their team are as excited about our unique value proposition as our team is in launching the final products. You’ll be a part of a great team, including a technology strategist, the Sales team, our Solutions group, and the folks implementing your clients’ vision.
At your core, you know how to map an account. The concept of “know everyone” is trained and embedded into your core, and you are as comfortable in front of a C-level executive as you are supporting your team with a client’s technical architects. You can spot a quick win or a long-term account from the initial opportunity. And, you know how to allocate yourself against the accounts that will grow versus the accounts that won’t. Your range of enterprise clients will span multiple verticals and industries, and will include some of the leading organizations in North America.
