About the role

Klaviyo is a public company with more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue. Enterprise is our fastest growing segment, where global brands are consolidating their marketing and customer data onto Klaviyo and spending over seven figures a year with us. We have expanded beyond retail into hospitality, media, healthcare, and business services.

You will go after some of the largest brands in the world, including Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, prospecting your way in and taking full responsibility for your pipeline target.

Most of these companies run separate tools for email, SMS, customer data, and service. We win by bringing it all onto one platform and getting the customer to results faster. Once they are live, you will keep growing the account and lead the renewal.

What you will do

  • Prospect your own territory. Research every account, find a way in, and build relationships where Klaviyo has none today. BDR, marketing, and partner leads add to the pipeline you build.
  • Be the CEO of your territory. Build a plan for every named account, create and prospect into a relationship map, and pull in solutions engineering, value management, partners, and marketing at the right time.
  • Run business-value discovery. Find the real problem, put a number on it with the customer, and build a business case for the full platform that their finance team will support.
  • Sell to the full buying committee. Get to the CMO, CFO, CIO or CDO. Build champions and test them.
  • Win the competitive deals. Displace the incumbent, hold your price, and have a clear answer on why Klaviyo and why now.
  • Close and forecast with discipline. Run the mutual action plan, security and legal review, and procurement. Forecast against what the customer has agreed to.
  • Grow and renew. Expand into more products and teams, spot risk early, and negotiate renewals that make room for growth.

What you bring

  • 10+ years in enterprise software sales, with 7+ years selling to C-level executives from a field sales position
  • A proven hunter who has built pipeline from scratch through your own research and outreach, and closed new logos from it
  • Experience selling into organizations above $1B in revenue
  • A track record of closing annual contracts of $1M or more
  • At or above quota in at least two of the last three years, on a multi-million dollar target
  • Experience leading complex deals from start to finish, coordinating your internal team and the customer's decision makers
  • Experience running several complex deals that can last between nine and eighteen months
  • Multi-product platform selling, with more than one product sold into the same account
  • A deep understanding of MEDDPICC and a value-based selling methodology, including building business cases
  • Domain experience in MarTech, CDPs, customer engagement platforms, ecommerce, or an adjacent data platform
  • Partner-led selling experience, and a record of winning competitive deals against existing platforms
  • Experience growing existing accounts through expansion and renewal
  • Strong executive presence, and fluency in CRM, forecasting, conversation intelligence, and AI tools

Klaviyo Compensation & Benefits Highlights

How does Klaviyo ensure its pay and bonus plans are competitive?

Klaviyo supports competitive pay through a total rewards approach that combines salary, equity, bonus opportunities, benefits, learning support and a performance culture tied to measurable impact. 

  • Competitive total rewards: Klaviyo’s benefits overview highlights competitive salaries, 401(k) match, employee referral bonuses, equity, an employee stock purchase plan, flexible paid time off, commuter/transit support, fitness reimbursements, mental and emotional wellbeing programming and learning support. External reviews reinforce the value of the package, with employees citing competitive pay, bonuses, RSUs, ESPP, health insurance, parental leave, unlimited PTO and learning stipends as meaningful parts of the employee experience.
  • Pay connected to impact and outcomes: Klaviyo’s handbook frames performance around ownership, clarity and measurable results. The value “Know the score” states that results matter more than effort alone, while “Drivers wanted” emphasizes proactive ownership and “Be meticulous in your craft” reinforces a high bar for work quality. That creates a compensation and recognition philosophy where strong outcomes, not just activity, are central to advancement and rewards.
  • Equity and long-term value: Equity is a visible part of Klaviyo’s rewards story. Klaviyo offers equity packages to all full-time employees, vesting over four years, and provides an employee stock purchase plan. That ownership opportunity sits within a growing business: in Q1 2026, Klaviyo reported $358 million in revenue, up 28% year over year, and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.514 billion to $1.522 billion. Those business results give employees a clear connection between company performance, long-term growth and the value of ownership-based compensation.
  • Rewards supported by growth and development benefits: Klaviyo’s compensation package is paired with benefits that help employees grow their careers and build long-term value. K-Pro Learn, learning stipends, mentorship, Career Architecture and manager development programs support continued skill-building. A customer success manager noted that Klaviyo offers a learning stipend for job-related coaching or training, while employee survey insights show 78% of respondents feel they are gaining the skills and experience to grow their careers.
  • External signals:
    • Compensation Sentiment: External reviews frequently praise Klaviyo’s competitive salary, bonuses, equity, RSUs, ESPP, 401(k) match, learning stipend and generous benefits. (Glassdoor; Comparably)
    • Rewards Ratings: Comparably rates Klaviyo’s compensation an A and perks and benefits an A. (Comparably)
    • Employee Value Signals: Reviews highlight PTO, health insurance, parental leave, office amenities, learning support and work-life balance as part of the overall rewards package. (Glassdoor; Comparably)

Bottom line: Klaviyo keeps compensation competitive by combining salary, bonus opportunities, equity, ESPP, retirement support, benefits and learning resources with a culture that rewards ownership, measurable outcomes and long-term impact.
