- You have experience of working in a MEDDPICC Sales Process (or similar)

- You’ll work hand-in-hand with Yext Revenue, Product, Marketing, Professional Services and Customer Success to land and expand strategic accounts, while positioning the Yext platform as essential to how brands stay discoverable, accurate, and competitive in an AI-first world
- You’ll play a pivotal role within a cross-functional account team, working alongside an Account Executive, Client Success Manager — with support from a Solutions Architect and/or Platform Consultant where needed. Every Yext client is backed by a dedicated team focused on driving growth, delivering value, and ensuring long-term renewal
- You will collaborate and help to define, execute and evaluate client account/opportunity strategy, execution, and growth
- Collaboratively work as a core member of the EMEA SE team
- Understand the “why” behind a client’s goals — then shape and showcase the “how” using Yext's full platform

- Bespoke site search applications
- Bespoke GEO web pages

- Strategic Business Review presentations
- Industry Benchmark insights, best practice guidance and thought leadership
- Be the voice of clarity: distil complex technical value into business outcomes for stakeholders from marketing managers to the C-suite
- Present at events, run workshops, author content, and contribute to Field Marketing initiatives across the region
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Enablement, Professional Services and Customer Success to evolve our GTM story
- Be a leading voice back to Yext Product to aid further Product Road Map direction, with a specific focus on EMEA client needs & requests
- Lead or support technical RFP/RFI responses where required

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Yext seeks to bridge the gap between the online and physical worlds for clients, including FedEx and Citibank, by providing a means of updating company information like store hours, across a multitude of secondary sites.
Yext's view is that the way people use the internet is moving more and more towards people wanting to get answers to questions with as little friction as possible. The company is building a suite of technological solutions to help companies serve up answers to people's questions more easily.
Yext has remained focused on updates and advancements to progress its features, such as the 2023 launch of its conversational AI - Yext Chat - fueling the company's emphasis on building and managing its customer and employee search experiences.
