Job Description

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business.

  • Adapts communication style and content to fit the priorities of diverse stakeholders.
  • Leads with solutions, not products, ensuring recommendations align with customer objectives.
  • Demonstrates strong commercial acumen when crafting and negotiating agreements.
  • Leverages data and insights to support recommendations, strengthen business cases, and overcome objections.
  • Proactively mitigates churn risk and optimizes ROI by continuously engaging customers and adjusting strategy.
  • Identifies and drives growth opportunities by uncovering new ways to deliver customer value.
  • Maintains discipline in account planning, stakeholder mapping, forecasting, quota attainment, and CRM best practices.

  • Familiarity with consultative / solution-selling methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC, Challenger, SPIN).
  • Knowledge of software contract terms and conditions, with the ability to structure fair and balanced transactions.
  • Demonstrated success in evangelistic or solution-selling environments, building new markets or influencing buyer mindsets.
  • Ability to assess business opportunities, understand buyer needs, and orchestrate complex deal closures.
  • Skilled at leveraging data and insights to inform decisions, persuade stakeholders, and differentiate solutions in competitive environments.
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence C‑level stakeholders and facilitate strategic conversations.
