Your new role - Senior Account Executive - US

Location - Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming (Remote - must be based in one of these US States)

Potential Compensation - $240 000 to $300 000 OTE (50/50 split)

We’re seeking an experienced **Enterprise Account Executive** to help expand our presence in the U.S. market. This is a strategic sales role, where you’ll act as a trusted advisor to both customers and partners, aligning Cognigy’s platform with high-impact transformation initiatives. While this role emphasizes collaboration—working closely with channel partners, BDRs, internal stakeholders and sales colleagues—you’ll still need the instincts and experience of a hunter: someone who can independently advance opportunities, drive consensus across stakeholders, and close large, complex deals.

This position is ideal for a highly consultative salesperson who can operate both independently and within a collaborative go-to-market model.

Responsibilities

• Drive strategic new business opportunities with Fortune 500 companies across your assigned U.S. territory
• Leverage and co-sell with partner ecosystems, BDRs, and internal teams to maximize coverage and pipeline development
• Independently manage full sales cycles, from territory planning and prospecting to discovery, solutioning, negotiation, and close
• Engage senior decision-makers (Director to C-level) with a consultative, value-based approach; build business cases, ROI models, and transformation roadmaps
• Act as a subject-matter expert and trusted advisor on AI-powered customer engagement strategies
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Presales, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Leadership to drive deal velocity and customer success
• Represent Cognigy at industry events and customer-facing forums
• Maintain accurate forecasting and opportunity hygiene within CRM

Growth Potential

At Cognigy we are committed to your professional growth. This role offers significant opportunities for career development, including access to ongoing training, and involvement in high-impact projects allowing you to showcase and advance your unique skills and experience.
