Enterprise Account Executive, Wealthsimple

• This role requires a balance of hunting for new, cold prospects and nurturing a base of existing advisors and consultants
• Applicants should be self-starters, relationship-oriented, experts in the industry, and ready to be hands-on in delivering results
• Drive and Determination: You should have a demonstrated track record of persevering in the face of adversity. This is a role that will involve selling a product that is taking a new approach to a traditional industry, which means you will hear the word “no” a lot

• Results-oriented: You should have experience (and be excited about!) building and managing your own pipeline in the face of uncertainty to ensure you hit your metrics
• Deal Closing: You should know how to get to, or influence, the executive decision maker, align the sale to a business goal or need, and manage negotiations
• Communication and Relationship Building: You should be a concise and articulate communicator while also being able to persuade and convince your audience. You must have strong relationship building skills with external customers to present ideas and concepts creatively and succinctly
• Relevant Experience: At least 5 years experience selling or advising Group Retirement / Workplace Savings in the Canadian market is required, ideally in large mid-market or enterprise segments. An understanding of capital accumulation and defined benefit plans is preferred. Experience in Group Retirement or Group Benefits is a strong asset
