• Own the Commercial Relationship: Own the commercial relationship with clients post-sale, turning every interaction into an opportunity to strengthen the partnership and uncover new revenue streams.
• Hunt for Opportunity: Proactively hunt for expansion opportunities within your accounts through regular client outreach, business reviews, and a deep understanding of their evolving needs and challenges (i.e., mergers, acquisitions, divestitures).
• Master Consultative Selling: Work as a team with Customer Success Managers to build and maintain Client Roadmaps, demonstrating the ROI of BlackLine's solutions and creating a compelling business case for further investment.
• Run a Tight Ship: Meticulously maintain all account, contact, and opportunity information in our CRM system to ensure an accurate sales forecast and a clear view of all activities.
• Save at-Risk Revenue: Proactively identify and manage accounts at risk of cancellation, skillfully navigating objections and reinforcing value to secure the renewal.
• Be a Team Player: Collaborate closely with Implementations, Training, Support, and other teams to ensure your clients' expectations are met, creating a seamless experience that fosters loyalty and opens doors for future sales.
• Travel required, approx. 40%

What You'll Bring:

• A Proven Track Record of Sales Success: 2+ years of experience in an Account Management or sales role where you were responsible for a quota, with a proven history of consistently meeting and exceeding it.
• Consultative Selling Expertise: A well-developed consultative selling style with the ability to act as a knowledgeable advisor, particularly when selling into the CFO's organization and Accounting/Finance departments.
• Relationship-Driven "Hunter" Mentality: A people-oriented professional with exceptional relationship-building skills combined with the drive to find and close new business.
• Business & Financial Acumen: A sharp business sense with the ability to understand a client's financial drivers, identify creative solutions to their problems, and translate that into commercial opportunities.
• Deal-Making Skills: Proven experience drafting, negotiating, and finalizing a variety of client contracts and documents.
• Results-Oriented Mindset: A strong results orientation with a dedicated client focus and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Exceptional Communicator: Outstanding analytical, oral, and written communication skills.
• Collaborative & Independent: The ability to work independently to drive your own success while also being a strong collaborator in a team setting.
