The Role

As an Account Executive, you'll take ownership of a growing book of business supporting a large automotive client in Detroit. You've already learned the fundamentals of the Brooksource sales cycle; now you'll lead it, becoming a trusted partner to business and technology leaders who rely on us for talent and consulting solutions.

This role is based in the Detroit area, with regular in-person time with client teams and the local Brooksource office.

What You'll Do

• Own and grow strategic relationships with hiring managers, directors, and executives across the client's engineering, IT, and business organizations
• Run the full sales cycle independently, from prospecting and discovery to closing, onboarding, and account expansion
• Apply a consultative approach to uncover business and technology needs, then shape talent and consulting solutions around them
• Map the client's organization, identify new departments and decision-makers, and build multi-threaded relationships
• Generate new business and drive revenue growth against clear quarterly and annual goals
• Partner with recruiting, delivery, and operations teams to deliver quality talent and keep clients and consultants successful
• Understand automotive industry trends, such as electrification, software-defined vehicles, and connected technology, and translate them into hiring and project needs
• Meet with clients in person and virtually, including regular on-site visits in the Detroit area
• Mentor and share best practices with Associate Account Executives as you grow toward senior and leadership roles

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree required
• 1–3 years of B2B sales, business development, or account management experience
• Proven ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders and communicate clearly in person and in writing
• Competitive, driven, and goal-oriented, with a record of meeting or exceeding targets
• Coachable, resilient, proactive, and team-oriented
• Interest in the automotive and technology industries preferred
• Comfortable working on-site in the Detroit area and traveling to client locations as needed
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

What You'll Gain

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission
• Clear advancement through a promote-from-within culture
• Industry-leading training and mentorship, with a path to senior and leadership roles
• Monthly car allowance and phone stipend
• Health benefits and 401(k) match
• Incentive trips and performance-based rewards

At Brooksource, we don't just hire employees—we develop future leaders.
