The posting
Every brand marketer wants to know why their customers buy. Most of them are still guessing, but you'll be the one who hands them the answer. You'll sit across from CMOs and insights leaders at brands you already know, run every deal yourself from first meeting to signature, and close business that changes how they spend their marketing dollars.
What you'll be doing
- Building new revenue from scratch across your own territory of named accounts
- Getting meetings with senior brand leaders who don't take many, and keeping your calendar full of the right ones
- Running every deal end to end: prospecting, discovery, qualification, negotiation, and close
- Showing leaders in data analytics, consumer insights, brand management, and marketing what Resonate can tell them about their own customers
- Learning each prospect's business well enough to tie Resonate to the numbers they get measured on, and building executive relationships that outlast the first deal
- Partnering with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Marketing to build solutions that fit each client
- Calling your forecast straight, keeping sales leadership in the loop, and beating your number
What we're looking for
You'll need
- 5+ years selling SaaS, analytics, data, or MarTech directly to brand marketers
- A track record of landing new logos and closing complex enterprise deals at $250K+ ACV
- Strong relationships with senior marketing and insights leaders across major verticals
- A consultative style: you find the real need and shape how executives decide
- Experience running complex deal cycles through matrixed organizations
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
Who does well here
You're curious about how brands make decisions, and you ask the questions that get you past the RFP. You'd rather build a deal from nothing than inherit one, and you enjoy opening a door as much as closing it. You own your number, keep your forecast honest, and don't need anyone chasing you for either. You're competitive, but clients still take your call years later because you made their job easier.
Why Resonate
- A product brand marketers ask for: Resonate tells them why consumers do what they do, using AI-powered data and identity products
- Enterprise deals with brands you know by name, and direct access to the senior people who run them
- Full ownership of your deals as an individual contributor. You open them, you close them, and the win is yours
- Solutions Engineering, Product, and Marketing partners who build proposals with you, so you never walk into a big pitch alone
- Remote-first, with headquarters in Reston, VA, occasional on-site time, and travel of up to 30% to meet clients face to face
Compensation & Benefits
At Resonate you'll work with smart, down-to-earth people on AI-powered data and identity products that are changing how the marketing industry works. We pair that with pay and benefits built to support you at work and outside of it. There's a lot more about life at Resonate on our careers site, and it's worth a look.
