You will operate as the commercial lead across your territory, owning pipeline generation, account penetration, expansion strategy, and revenue outcomes. Success in this role will come from your ability to uncover opportunity early, build executive-level relationships, create urgency, and consistently convert pipeline into measurable growth.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious commercial professional who thrives in fast-moving client environments and is motivated by growth, targets, and high performance.

- Build and convert a strong pipeline through disciplined sales execution
- Lead senior-level commercial conversations and deliver tailored client presentations
- Own renewals, pricing discussions, and commercial negotiations
- Partner with Customer Success to maximise adoption, engagement, and long-term client value
- Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline management through Salesforce and related tools
- Exceed growth and retention targets through proactive opportunity creation
- Stay informed on market trends, competitor capabilities, and EIU product developments
- Identify and introduce clients to counterparts across Economist Enterprise to drive cross-team sales through referrals
Skills and Experience
The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
- Proven success driving revenue growth within strategic or enterprise accounts
- Strong hunter mentality with a track record of creating and closing expansion opportunities
- Experience in consultative sales, business development, or account growth within subscriptions, SaaS, research, data, or information services. Experience selling API-based data solutions and/or Analyst Engagement services, such as paid analyst briefings, expert consultations, or tailored research, is also favourable.
- Strong commercial instincts and confidence engaging senior stakeholders
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
- High levels of energy, accountability, and pipeline discipline
- Salesforce experience and disciplined hygiene along with use of sales engagement platforms
- Fluency in English; additional language skills are advantageous
- Willingness to travel across the region when required
