Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We’re also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that’s built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

Join us to transform the way the world works.

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. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We are looking for an Account Director to join our team as a trusted adviser with a relentless focus on bringing value to our customers within Mid-Market sector. You will be responsible for helping our customers effectively engage with our solutions (Talent, Learning). You will be dedicated to making our customers stronger and seeking out opportunities for growth. Although you possess a strategic approach to selling and strive to meet / exceed revenue goals, you will always have your clients’ best interest in mind and act as their internal advocate to ensure they are set up for success.

Responsibilities

  • Research the customer’s business and prepare thoughtful insights and questions ahead of meetings.
  • Conduct efficient discovery questioning to uncover objectives, challenges, and opportunities beyond surface-level needs.
  • Build multithreaded relationships across all levels and functions, guiding decision-making by creating a shared vision and aligning value propositions.
  • Adapt communication style and content to fit the priorities of diverse stakeholders.
  • Lead with solutions, not products, ensuring recommendations align with customer objectives.
  • Demonstrate strong commercial acumen when crafting and negotiating agreements.
  • Leverage data and insights to support recommendations, strengthen business cases, and overcome objections.
  • Proactively mitigate churn risk and optimize ROI by continuously engaging customers and adjusting strategy.
  • Identify and drive growth opportunities by uncovering new ways to deliver customer value.
  • Maintain discipline in account planning, stakeholder mapping, forecasting, quota attainment, and CRM best practices.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of quota-carrying or account management experience in B2B.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience selling SaaS, HR software, or enterprise IT solutions, with a proven track record of exceeding revenue targets and driving account growth.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage enterprise-level accounts and complex sales cycles, including leading cross-functional teams to deliver customer success.
  • 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.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field (Master’s degree or MBA a plus).
