What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive, Venue position at The Knot Worldwide?
ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM
Are you a strategic sales professional ready to drive growth in a high-impact category? The Venue Account Executive is responsible for hitting monthly sales goals by engaging with wedding professionals in our Venue and Catering categories across the United States. Using a high-volume cold calling approach and a consultative sales process, you will build rapport with business owners to advise them on industry trends and how to scale their brands through The Knot and WeddingWire's premium advertising platforms.
The Venue category requires a high level of sales maturity and the ability to navigate a longer, more complex sales cycle. Because high-impact outreach and client consultations happen when wedding professionals are most active, success in this role requires a dedicated 40-hour-per-week commitment during our standard business hours of 9:00 am - 6:00 pm EST. We are looking for professionals who understand that consistent presence is the key to managing a successful pipeline.
The expected salary for this job requisition is $50,000-$60,000. The salary is just one component of TKWW's total rewards package for employees. The role is eligible for other total rewards such as health care insurance, 401(k) retirement account, paid sick time, paid personal time off, and paid parental leave. This role is also eligible for variable compensation and/or performance bonuses.
Applications for this role are being accepted on a rolling basis.
