The Opportunity
We’re expanding our sales force and are on the lookout for seasoned Account Executives who thrive on turning existing customer relationships into tangible revenue streams.

- SAP Channel: One Account Executive dedicated to growing relationships within our SAP customer base.
- Workday / Coupa Channel: One Account Executive focused on clients operating within the Workday or Coupa ecosystems.
While experience with SAP, Workday, or Coupa is a plus, the core requirement is a proven ability to grow existing accounts, build trusted partnerships, and consistently deliver commercial results.
Key Responsibilities

- Opportunity Identification: Proactively map additional business units, departments, and decision‑makers within existing accounts to uncover new revenue potential.
- Commercial Leadership: Lead discovery calls, craft tailored proposals, negotiate terms, and close expansion deals that deliver measurable value.
- Product Adoption: Champion the introduction of complementary brighthush solutions—supplier management, third‑party risk, data validation, invoicing—into client portfolios.
- Collaboration with Customer Success: Work hand‑in‑hand with the Customer Success team to understand client pain points, surface growth opportunities, and ensure seamless implementation.
- Pipeline Management: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of expansion, cross‑sell, and renewal opportunities, ensuring accurate forecasts and up‑to‑date CRM records.
- Revenue Achievement: Consistently meet or exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets while contributing to a high‑performing, collaborative sales culture.
Essential Qualifications
- 5+ years of B2B SaaS or enterprise software sales experience with a strong track record of expanding revenue within an existing customer base.
- Demonstrated success in account expansion, upselling, cross‑selling, or strategic account management.
- Consistent history of achieving or surpassing sales targets in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments.
- Proven ability to navigate enterprise sales cycles, engage senior decision‑makers, and articulate solutions that deliver measurable ROI.
- Proactive, commercially curious mindset—identifying opportunities before clients do.
- Exceptional relationship‑building, negotiation, and communication skills.
- Strong collaboration skills, particularly with Customer Success and cross‑functional teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience selling to Procurement, Finance, Accounts Payable, or IT stakeholders.
- Exposure to SAP, Workday, or Coupa ecosystems.
- Track record of selling multiple products or solutions into enterprise accounts.
- Understanding of supplier management, procurement technology, or source‑to‑pay processes.
Skills & Competencies
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to see the big picture and translate client goals into actionable expansion plans.
- Data‑Driven Decision Making: Comfortable using data to identify trends, forecast revenue, and measure success.
- Influence & Persuasion: Skilled at influencing senior leaders and securing buy‑in across multiple departments.
