Senior Account Executive (AEC & National Accounts)

- For these accounts, permitting isn’t a back-office task — it’s the gating item on every store opening, every facility buildout, every site in the pipeline. A single program can span hundreds of locations across dozens of jurisdictions

- Lead complex, multi-threaded deals across real estate, construction, facilities, procurement, and operations leaders at national brands
- Develop and execute account strategies for net new logos, multi-site program expansion, and portfolio-wide rollouts
- Build ROI-driven business cases tied to time-to-open, schedule certainty, and capital efficiency that resonate with C-suite, real estate, and construction leadership
- Translate the realities of multi-jurisdiction permitting into clear, quantified value for owners and builders managing national programs
- Collaborate cross-functionally (Solutions, CS, Product, Marketing, BDR) to scope solutions and ensure successful program rollouts
- Maintain forecasting accuracy, pipeline hygiene, and deal visibility throughout long sales cycles
- Provide insights from the field to GTM and Product leadership to shape our commercial enterprise motion and roadmap
- Travel as needed for customer meetings, industry conferences, and on-site program kickoffs

- Converting single-program pilots into enterprise-wide, multi-site partnerships
