Requirements
Description
As a Enterprise Account Executive, you are measured on new business. You build your own pipeline, run consultative sales cycles with HR, L&D and technology leaders, and close multi-seat Platzi Business contracts. Once a client signs, you stay close to secure adoption, the first renewal and the first expansion before the account matures into long-term account management.
New Business Acquisition (70% of time)

- Manage multiple stakeholders in the buying process, from the end user to the decision-maker who signs.
- Consistently meet or exceed your monthly and quarterly new-business quota.
Account Growth & Retention (20% of time)
- Own the post-sale handoff of the accounts you close: onboarding follow-through, success plan and structured check-ins.
- Monitor license adoption and client health, acting early on any sign of churn risk.
- Drive the first renewal of your accounts and identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities.
Pipeline Discipline & Collaboration (10% of time)
- Keep your CRM (HubSpot) 100% up to date, with clear next steps, close dates and an accurate forecast.
- Partner with Marketing, Customer Success and Product to share market feedback and align solutions with client goals.
- Stay on top of industry and HR-tech trends to spot new business opportunities in your territory.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of B2B sales experience in SaaS, EdTech, HR-tech or technology services, ideally selling to Enterprise companies in Latin America.

- Hands-on experience generating self-sourced pipeline through outbound prospecting, cold outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo or account mapping.
- Strong consultative selling skills and working knowledge of a sales methodology (SPIN, BANT, MEDDIC or similar).
- Strong closing ability: objection handling, negotiation, follow-up discipline and driving deals to a signed agreement.
- Experience retaining and growing the accounts you close: renewals, upsell and cross-sell.
- Comfortable engaging with decision-makers (HR, L&D, CTOs, CEOs) at Mid Market companies, with strong professional presence and communication skills.
- Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot or Salesforce) and data-driven management of your own pipeline.
