About our client

Our client is building an AI platform transforming how management consulting firms, investment firms, and corporate strategy teams perform research, diligence, and strategic analysis.

Their customers use the platform to answer strategic questions faster, conduct deeper diligence, accelerate market research, and fundamentally transform how knowledge work gets done. Rather than replacing consultants and investors, they help the world's leading knowledge organizations operate with dramatically greater speed, quality, and leverage.

Backed by Lightspeed and Accel, their team includes former leaders from McKinsey, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Gartner, Accenture, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Google DeepMind.

About the role

Our client is looking for a small number of exceptional Senior Account Executives who already know their customers. You have built your career developing new business with management consulting firms, investment firms, corporate strategy organizations, and market and competitive intelligence teams.

This is a true hunter role focused on landing new departments, practices, and business units, creating opportunities from scratch, and winning new logos.

Why this role matters

AI is fundamentally changing how strategic work gets done. As one of our client’s first Strategic Account Directors, you will help define how many of the world's most influential consulting firms, investment firms, and enterprises embrace AI as a new operating model—not simply another software platform.

Develop your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, referrals, industry events, and your professional network.
