Enterprise Account Executive

Join Lepaya!

We are seeking highly motivated Strategic Account Executives with a relentless hunter mentality and exceptional relationship-building skills to join our commercial team. In this role, you will be responsible for the full sales lifecycle—identifying, prospecting, and closing large enterprise accounts, with a focus on driving new business and seizing strategic growth opportunities. You will own the account through its first year, ensuring a seamless handoff and delivering value to establish a strong foundation for long-term growth.

You’ll scope projects, transform them into actionable milestones, and develop strategic plans that deliver impactful results. Your ability to both hunt for new opportunities and cultivate lasting relationships with enterprise accounts will be essential to your success.

While you’ll have a supportive team behind you, your success will depend on your ability to independently track down new opportunities and nurture existing ones. If you're a proactive and experienced sales professional with a passion for learning and development, we’d love to have you on our team at Lepaya!
