Job Title: Senior Account Executive 

Location: Liberty Street, Manhattan
Salary: $100,000 - $120,000 Base | Year 1 OTE $180,000 + | Uncapped Commission

Join One of the World’s Leading B2B Growth & Events Businesses

At GDS Group, we help the world’s biggest technology brands connect with senior decision-makers through market-leading events, digital experiences and innovative growth solutions.


With offices across New York, Miami, Little Rock and Bristol, we operate at the intersection of technology, media, sales and innovation — partnering with global enterprises such as AWS, InterSystems, Google, Intel and IBM - to drive transformation, build pipeline and create real commercial impact.


This is not a traditional sales role. It’s an opportunity to work with emerging technologies, engage directly with C-suite executives and accelerate your career within a fast-paced international business.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Uncapped earning potential with realistic Year 1 OTE of $180K+
  • International career opportunities across our global offices
  • Work with some of the world’s most innovative technology brands
  • Clear progression pathways into senior sales and leadership roles
  • High-performance culture with quarterly incentives, prizes and rewards
  • Exposure to AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data, digital transformation and emerging tech markets
  • Weekly wellness classes and a vibrant New York environment
  • Prime New York location — 5 minutes from World Trade Centre

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Identifying and engaging senior decision-makers across global technology markets
  • Building new business relationships through strategic outreach, networking and consultative selling
  • Working directly with innovative technology vendors and enterprise organisations
  • Generating commercial opportunities and contributing to large-scale client campaigns
  • Articulating GDS Group’s value proposition with confidence and credibility
  • Becoming a trusted commercial partner to clients operating at the forefront of digital transformation

 

What We’re Looking For

  • You’re ambitious, commercially driven, and energised by winning new business.
  • Ideal candidates will have:
  • 4+ years’ B2B sales or business development experience
  • Strong cold outreach and prospecting capability (phone, LinkedIn, email)
  • Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and C-level executives
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • A proactive, resilient and target-driven mindset
  • Strong organisation and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Most importantly, we’re looking for people with ambition, personality and the hunger to build a successful commercial career.

Why GDS Group?

We’re a globally recognised business trusted by leading brands to create meaningful business connections and transformative commercial experiences.

If you want more than just another sales role — and are looking for a business where you can genuinely accelerate your career and earning potential — we’d love to hear from you.



Skills Required

  • 4+ years B2B sales or business development experience
  • Strong cold outreach and prospecting capability
  • Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and C-level executives
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Proactive, resilient and target-driven mindset
