Highlight is looking for an experienced, strategic Enterprise Account Executive to help scale our SaaS platform within some of the world’s most recognizable brands. We’re a fast-growing, early-stage company and this role is central to driving revenue at the enterprise level.
As an Enterprise AE, you’ll own complex, high-value relationships across the full customer lifecycle — from landing new logos to expanding platform adoption and owning renewals over time.
Success in this role requires comfort selling enterprise software, navigating long buying cycles, and building trusted partnerships with senior stakeholders across research, insights, product, and innovation teams.
This is a highly collaborative role working closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Enablement to ensure long-term customer value, adoption, and retention. Your Impact
Own the full enterprise revenue lifecycle: new logo acquisition, contract renewals, and expansion within existing accounts
Prospect and close complex enterprise SaaS deals across a defined territory and target account list
Build deep, trusted relationships with executive sponsors and senior decision-makers at large enterprise organizations
Lead sophisticated discovery conversations to uncover strategic initiatives, workflows, and long-term platform needs
Position Highlight as a scalable enterprise software platform, clearly articulating ROI, differentiation, and long-term value
Manage multi-stakeholder, multi-threaded sales cycles involving procurement, legal, security, and executive leadership
Drive consistent ARR growth by meeting or exceeding enterprise quota targets across new business, expansion, and renewals
Partner closely with Customer Enablement to support onboarding, adoption, renewals, and account growth
Forecast accurately, maintain pipeline rigor in CRM, and provide visibility into deal progress and risk
About You
6–10+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience selling to enterprise customers
Proven success consistently closing six-figure enterprise software deals
Experience owning long-term enterprise accounts, including renewals and expansion revenue
Strong ability to navigate complex buying committees and align multiple stakeholders around a shared vision
Confident selling a consultative, value-based solution in a competitive enterprise landscape
Exceptional executive presence with strong presentation, negotiation, and relationship-management skills
Highly self-motivated with a bias toward action, accountability, and ownership in fast-moving environments
Benefits
Health insurance (medical, dental, vision) with 100% of employee premiums covered
Unlimited PTO
Flexible, remote WFH culture
Access to the iconic Hearst Tower & its facilities in NYC (should you choose to ever be in person)
Based on previous experience and skillset, the on-target earnings for this position: $230,000 - $250,000
You don’t need to meet every qualification listed to apply—we value potential, curiosity, and diverse perspectives. At Highlight , we believe that innovation thrives when different experiences and ideas come together.
We’re committed to building an inclusive team where individuals of all backgrounds - including but not limited to - race, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, disability, veteran status, and more—feel empowered to contribute and grow.
If you’re a critical thinker who’s not afraid to challenge assumptions, we’d love to hear from you. We’re a passionate, supportive team that puts Humans First , cares about each other, and yes—we take our tacos seriously. 🌮 Originally posted on Himalayas
