The Opportunity:

Shutterstock’s Data Licensing division is accelerating its expansion into AI, technology, enterprise, and developer ecosystems. To support this growth, we are hiring an exceptional Account Executive, New Business to drive net-new customer acquisition and generate revenue across high-potential markets.

This role is responsible for owning the full sales cycle—from targeted prospecting and opportunity creation to negotiation and contract execution. The ideal candidate is a highly motivated hunter with a strong track record of closing complex data or enterprise technology deals. You thrive in fast-paced environments, know how to navigate large organizations, and are energized by building business from the ground up.

The Day to Day:

  • Develop and execute outbound and inbound strategies to source, qualify, and close net-new business across AI, technology, and enterprise sectors.
  • Build and manage a strong pipeline through targeted prospecting, multi-threaded account engagement, and relationship building with senior stakeholders.
  • Understand customer needs, use cases, and technical requirements to position Shutterstock’s data licensing solutions effectively.
  • Partner closely with Sales Development on lead quality, campaign alignment, and territory strategy.
  • Own the full sales cycle from initial outreach to signed agreement, including discovery, value articulation, proposal creation, negotiation, and closing.
  • Maintain accurate sales forecasting, CRM hygiene, and reporting discipline within Salesforce.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Operations, and Marketing to develop solutions, accelerate deal cycles, and ensure high-quality customer onboarding.
  • Represent Shutterstock at industry events, conferences, and partner engagements to promote pipeline development and brand visibility.

What You’ll Bring to the Role:

  • 8–10 years of experience in B2B sales, enterprise sales, or data/AI licensing, with a strong focus on new business acquisition.
  • Proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quotas and closing complex, high-value deals.
  • Demonstrated success in prospecting and pipeline generation within large organizations; expertise in multi-threading required.
  • Strong understanding of data, APIs, AI/ML workflows, or enterprise SaaS solutions preferred.
  • Experience selling into technical audiences (AI, engineering, product, data science) a plus.
  • Proficiency with modern GTM tools (Salesforce, Outreach, intent data platforms, ABM tools).
  • Excellent communicator, negotiator, and storyteller who can inspire customer confidence and clearly articulate value. Highly structured, self-motivated, and metrics-driven; thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
  • BA/BS required.

The base salary pay range is below:

  • $130,000 - 150,000 per year in New York.

Note: In addition to base salary, the role is eligible for an uncapped incentive opportunity, calculated as a percentage of sales closed, providing significant potential upside. Compensation plans are reviewed annually and may be subject to change.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
