Account Executive (Discovery & Closing)

Work Arrangement / Work Shift: Hybird / US shift

Role Overview: The Account Executive (AE) owns the client-facing sales motion end to end - from discovery through to a signed deal. This role conducts high-quality discovery calls with prospective and existing Atticus Advisory Solutions clients, accurately understands their needs, challenges, and desired outcomes, and then drives that insight through negotiation and close, not just a handover. The AE collaborates closely with SDRs, Recruitment, Client Success, and Delivery teams to convert discovery insights into signed, revenue-generating engagements.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own the full deal cycle beyond discovery - proactively drive opportunities through proposal, negotiation, and signed contract, rather than handing off once qualified.

• Self-generate and revive pipeline: proactively re-engage stalled, cold, or dormant leads and accounts instead of relying solely on SDR-sourced leads.

• Lead pricing and commercial negotiations with prospects, working within approved costing and margin guardrails to get deals signed.

• Own individual revenue and quota targets, and report progress against them - not just activity or conversion metrics.

• Run a disciplined, relentless follow-up cadence to prevent deal slippage and revive stalling opportunities.

• Multi-thread relationships across the buying group (champion, economic buyer, end users) to reduce single-point-of-failure risk and speed up decisions.

• Proactively surface upsell and expansion opportunities within existing client accounts.

• Take ownership of objection handling and creative deal structuring to overcome hesitation and competitive threats - going beyond the standard script when a deal needs it.

• Challenge client thinking where appropriate (Challenger-style) rather than simply taking orders, to shape a stronger, better-fit deal.

• Feed win/loss insights back into the sales playbook and share best practices with the wider team.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, Psychology, Marketing, or a related field.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in sales, consulting, customer success, or account management (B2B/offshoring/tech staffing experience is a plus).

• Strong communication and questioning skills, with the ability to uncover deep client needs.

• Experience using CRM tools (HubSpot is a must).

• Ability to confidently speak with C-level and senior decision-makers.

• High attention to detail in documentation, qualification, and follow-through.

• Strong business acumen and understanding of staffing/offshoring market dynamics.

• Goal-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

• Demonstrated track record of consistently hitting or exceeding a sales quota (not just managing accounts or supporting a sales process)

Core Competencies:

• Closing Drive - a clear, demonstrated bias toward action and urgency to convert opportunities into signed business, not just well-qualified ones.

• Resilience & Grit - keeps momentum through rejection, stalled deals, and long sales cycles.

• Self-Starter / Proactive Prospecting - doesn’t wait on SDR handoff; hunts for and creates their own opportunities.

• Ownership & Accountability - treats quota as personal and owns pipeline outcomes end to end.

• Commercial & Financial Acumen - understands pricing, margins, and deal economics well enough to negotiate confidently.

• Executive Presence & Gravitas - holds credibility with C-level and senior stakeholders under pressure.

• Coachability & Adaptability - adjusts approach fast based on feedback, deal dynamics, or market shifts.

• Competitive Drive - motivated by winning and outperforming targets and peers.

• Storytelling & Value Articulation - turns discovery insight into a compelling, ROI-driven business case.

• Territory & Priority Management - focuses time on the highest-value opportunities without dropping the rest of the pipeline.

Success Metrics:

• Win rate / close rate on qualified opportunities (SDR led bookings)

• Quota attainment (% of revenue target achieved monthly/quarterly)

• Self-sourced pipeline contribution (% of pipeline the AE generated outside SDR handoff)

• Average sales cycle length / deal velocity
