[Hiring] Enterprise Account Executive @Ideals

Role Description

To support Ideals' rapid growth in North America, we are looking for our first Enterprise Account Executive (Business Development Manager) to focus on our Corporate segment in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. You’ll join a team of 20+ Key Accounts teammates in the US and Canada. Unlike our advisory-focused motions, you will sell directly to a wide variety of enterprise corporations across diverse industries (such as energy, pharma, biotech, and telecommunications).

As a quota-carrying strategic seller, you will grow revenue, acquiring new enterprise accounts and expanding existing ones. You will act as an impactful industry expert, generating demand, navigating complex 6- to 9-month sales cycles, and often displacing incumbent vendors through deep discovery and consultative selling.

Compensation package: 50% base salary; 50% performance-based variable. This role requires residency in the Toronto, Ontario region.

• Proactively build and manage a pipeline focused on the acquisition of new strategic enterprise accounts (new logos)

• Maintain "White Space" analysis and execute strategic initiatives to upsell and cross-sell within the existing customer base
• Develop and deliver comprehensive business cases that quantify the cost of inaction and address customer priorities, pain points, and ROI
• Structure, negotiate, and close complex deals, guiding corporate clients step-by-step through enterprise procurement, security compliance, and legal processes
• Orchestrate multi-threading strategies to navigate enterprise politics, establishing strong relationships with C-Suite executives and key stakeholders across various verticals
• Keep an accurate track record of personal sales activities in the CRM, including methodical mid- and long-term forecasting
• Provide relevant customer feedback to the product development team and collaborate with Customer Success, Marketing, and Inbound Sales to maximize revenue and customer satisfaction

Qualifications

• 4–7 years of demonstrable quota-carrying success in B2B sales (including 2+ years of Enterprise sales experience)
• Proven track record of managing lengthy or complex enterprise sales cycles
• Significant experience selling directly to C-level executives (CxOs) and multi-threading within large enterprise organizations
• Clear understanding of, and practical experience with, consultative sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC/MEDPIC, SPIN, Challenger)
• 4-year university degree (Bachelor's)
• Exceptional business communication skills, enabling you to execute executive storytelling, challenge the status quo, and handle complex contracting negotiations
• High learning agility, analytical thinking, and commercial curiosity to quickly grasp the nuances of various corporate industries
• High AI fluency and advanced CRM tracking skills
• Native-level proficiency in English

Nice to have

• Fluency in an additional language
• Background in SaaS, financial technology, or information security sectors
• Familiarity with enterprise M&A use cases and corporate compliance workflows
