Strategic Account Executive

WhatCounts is an Enterprise-Class Email Marketing & Personalization Software Company

Delivering 25B+ emails per year for clients in Media/Publishing, Retail, Financial Services & Travel/Hospitality. WhatCounts is in the midst of a transformational period. With new resources and support from its acquisition by OSG, and merger with Windsor Circle, WhatCounts is integrating its technology across all touch points of the customer communication lifecycle. As part of this initiative the WhatCounts team is looking to add a Strategic Account Executive to its growing sales team, to fuel its continued growth.

Strategic Account Executive

We’re looking for a Strategic Account Executive responsible for matching WhatCounts’ software to good-fit eCommerce marketers, at upper mid-market & enterprise retailers. These marketers are smart, busy and constantly getting pitched new products. You must ring clear through the noise and deliver a clear, compelling value proposition through a consultative sales process. This role will give you the opportunity to deliver thought-leadership in the industry, add value to prospects and customers, and replicate the success we’ve seen with the right customers. While location for this positing is flexible, since this Strategic Account Executive will handle the East Coast region, there is a strong preference for being located in Atlanta, GA, Durham, NC, or in the Eastern Time Zone.

Learn more about the customer success we’ve driven for clients and practice telling their stories
Sharpen your skills in demonstrating our high-impact platform to retail market

Collaborate with key partners, like FedEx, and their reps to drive win-win outcomes for shared customers
Keep up with industry trends and updates, and share value with your growing network of Marketers

You’re a Good Fit If...

You can put yourself in the potential client’s seat and constantly think about how to add value
You’re energetic, entrepreneurial, and independent
You’re passionate about what we do, and how it can impact our client
You can say “no” diplomatically to clients who are not a good fit, being a disciplined steward of their time

You can network like a ninja across the industry and build and expand relationships
You can present and demo solutions that help clients resolve their challenges in an articulate way

What Can We Offer You?

An exciting growth journey and experience, with a proven company being primed for growth
Being in the midst of a big digital transformation by OSG, as several marketing companies come together
A tight-knit team with a values-driven culture, collaborating to achieve goals in a fast-moving market
A competitive compensation package with uncapped earning potential, and solid benefits
A work environment in the heart of thriving Downtown Durham, Atlanta or Seattle (remote candidates are great too)
