Global Client Executive - Talent Solutions Staffing

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We’re also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that’s built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed. Join us to transform the way the world works.

This role will be based in London. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We are looking for a Regional Account Manager to join our team in growing and maintaining relationships with our most strategic global customers. You will be responsible for learning the entire suite of LinkedIn’s Talent Solutions, understanding how they are used and valued by our customers, and making compelling recommendations for additional investments and renewals in LinkedIn.

You will be responsible for a book of current customers, involvement in large centralized global contracts and outbound activity within the long tail of your portfolio. You will partner with a select group of global clients to identify solutions that can help them achieve their business and talent objectives. Although you strive to meet and exceed quota, you will always act in the best interest of the customer.

The core responsibilities of the role include:

• Develop territory and strategic account plans in collaboration with your Global Client Director to deliver growth.
• Apply solutions expertise across our Talent, Learning and Glint product solutions offerings.
• On a weekly basis, plan and prioritize your book, activities, and meetings to ensure you are focused on your largest opportunities.
• Understand your customer’s business and objectives through detailed discovery.
• Gain commitment and buy-in of customers and prospects to proactively grow the account off-cycle by selling new solutions, add-ons, and renewals.
• Invest in meaningful relationships with economic buyers and advisors in your accounts by providing high-quality customer engagement activities (training, quarterly business reviews) on the solutions in which they have already invested.
• Build custom presentations and demonstrations based on customer defined objectives and goals versus needs.
• Be open, collaborative, and customer-focused in all communications and transactions with your global account team and clients.
• Close all orders with the larger LinkedIn investment in mind and provide post-contract support to ensure product delivery and satisfaction.
• Demonstrate sales operational excellence by using our CRM tracking activities and, most importantly, forecasting.

Basic Qualifications:

• 8+ years experience working with complex multi-national clients as a quota carrying sales rep.
• Fluency in English is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience selling to EVPs, CXOs and end-users (in the same sales cycle) in both individual and team sales environments.
• Experience in solution selling to global/multi-national customers, with complex organization structure.
• Experience closing new business and managing existing accounts.
• Ability to translate data and insights into crisp and relevant customer narratives.
• Demonstrated ability to generate and execute a plan, lead with solutions to problems, not products.

Suggested Skills:

• Communication
• Negotiation
• Forecasting
• Pipelining
