SPS Commerce is recruiting a Senior Account Executive! In this quota-carrying and fast-paced role, the Senior Account Executive will continuously seek net new business derived primarily from outbound prospecting, territory management, and periodically going onsite; the position will pull in resources from the account team and work to transition business to our implementation team. Once a new customer is onboard, this account will remain as part of the territory for possible upsell. Customers are constantly expanding and changing, so their needs change as well. In this role, the Strategic Account Executive will grow business with a constant mix of new and expanding clients with a strong emphasis on net new customer acquisition.
