Overview
The Key Account Executive for PRS is a hybrid hunter and account manager. This person first hunts for new logo business, driving net-new revenue with large enterprise accounts and advancing pipeline from prospecting through close on complex, multi-stakeholder deals. Once an account is won, the same person rolls into the account manager responsible for the add-on growth and retention of the book of business they create.
