Company Description

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.

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.

  • Builds multithreaded relationships across all levels and functions, guiding decision-making by creating a shared vision and aligning value propositions.
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience selling SaaS, HR software, or enterprise IT solutions, with a proven track record of exceeding revenue targets and driving account growth.

  • 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.
