Job Description
seoClarity is on the hunt for an Enterprise SaaS Account
Executive (sales)
to drive new logo growth at the highest level. Based in
our Downtown Chicago office
, where daily in-person collaboration, deal
strategy, and fast decision-making are core to how we win enterprise business. seoClarity
is the technology leader in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) marketing
analytics, and our technology platform and services help the world’s best and
biggest brands optimize their website content so they can be found online and
connect to their customers. 


This is not a role for sellers who rely on others to
generate prospective leads, this is built for someone who identifies and
creates their own pipeline. This role is built for a sales hunter who commands
the room and leads from the front. From the first cold outreach to the signed
agreement, you own the pursuit! You are responsible for navigating long sales
cycles and multi-stakeholder buying groups without relying on inbound volume or
executive intervention.


If you thrive in environments where autonomy is earned,
performance is visible, and results matter more than activity, this role will
stretch and reward you!
