Account Executive

About the role

We are looking for a candidate with museum experience and existing knowledge of the industry. Our sales approach is consultative and requires familiarity with the inner workings of museum projects; traditional sales roles in other industries are generally not a good fit.

Requirements

• Five or more years in business development, account executive, or outside sales carrying a target
• A record of opening doors that were not handed to you
• Comfort carrying a deal for a year without losing momentum
• Curiosity about how the thing gets built – surface-level sellers do not survive here
• Judgment about margin, not just revenue
• Straight talk when something goes wrong, because the show date never moves and shippers miss targeted deliveries
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regionally and to client show sites as needed

Degree welcome but not required.

If you meet all of the above and have at least five years of museum sales experience, we would consider a higher sales level.
