Strategic Account Executive, Global, Corporate London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom

The Strategic Account Executive is responsible for driving expansion across some of AlphaSense's largest and highest-potential global accounts, within one of our core Corporate verticals, which span Life Sciences, Tech Media & Telecoms, Energy & Industrials, and Consumer Packaged Goods. In this role, you will take responsibility for full regions of key global accounts, contributing to long‑term account planning, coordinating internal resources, and building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across complex, multi‑stakeholder organizations. You will own defined elements of the account plan and work closely with Regional Account Executives, Sales Development Representatives, Product Specialists, Account Managers, and Customer Success Managers to execute a bottoms‑up sales strategy. You'll operate within a Pod structure – a small, tightly‑knit team with a shared quota. Your success is the team’s success. This role is for someone who thrives in a collaborative, high‑accountability environment where individual contribution directly shapes collective outcomes. This role offers significant ownership, visibility, and impact. You will help define how AlphaSense expands within some of the most influential firms in the world, embedding the platform across research, strategy, and client delivery workflows. This is a unique opportunity to sell an award‑winning product experiencing rapid adoption across enterprise and professional services environments.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner on strategy and end‑to‑end sales process across a portfolio of AlphaSense’s most strategic, high‑growth potential global accounts
• Run high volume of outbound activity, including cold‑calling into strategic accounts, to open new conversations, break into new departments, and keep pipeline consistently full
• Lead complex enterprise sales cycles while partnering with SDRs and Account Managers to execute long‑term account plans
• Build and cultivate executive‑level relationships across strategy, research, competitive intelligence, business development, M&A, and client delivery functions
• Develop deep expertise in customer use cases, firm‑wide workflows, market dynamics, competitive landscape, and AlphaSense’s differentiated value proposition
• Prospect proactively, initiate senior‑level conversations, conduct demos, manage pilots, and close complex, multi‑year agreements
• Partner with SDRs to design and execute targeted, account‑based prospecting strategies
• Forecast accurately and build sufficient pipeline to meet or exceed quota expectations
• Collaborate closely with Account Management & Customer Success to ensure customer health, long‑term value realization, and expansion opportunities across strategic accounts
