Account Executive, Cognigy
About the role
So, what's the role all about?
We're seeking an experienced Enterprise Account Executive to help expand our presence in the U.S. market. This is a strategic sales role, where you'll act as a trusted advisor to both customers and partners, aligning Cognigy's platform with high-impact transformation initiatives. While this role emphasizes collaboration—working closely with channel partners, BDRs, internal stakeholders and sales colleagues—you'll still need the instincts and experience of a hunter: someone who can independently advance opportunities, drive consensus across stakeholders, and close large, complex deals.
How will you make an impact?
- Represent NiCE Cognigy, create awareness, generate new ARR
- Achieve ARR & ACV booking targets
- Close deals via direct & partner ecosystem
- Build and maintain a qualified pipeline
- Close large enterprise deals
- Run full sales cycles from account planning to close
- Coordinate responses to RFPs/RFIs
- Represent Cognigy at trade fairs and industry events
Have you got what it takes?
- Proven track record of success in selling SaaS or Technology (UCaaS, CCaaS, AI)
- Hunter mentality and passionate about winning
- Ability to create and communicate complex deal structures and ROIs
- Confident navigating sales cycles with all management levels (particularly SVP/C-Level)
- Strong organization and prioritization skills
- Professional communication skills and a customer-centric, personable demeanor
- Ability to balance driving a sales cycle independently while leveraging internal resources
- Comfortable leveraging a partner channel to support the sales process
