Account Executive – APAC

YourCode Recruitment is partnering with an established international SaaS and EdTech organisation as it continues to expand its presence across Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region.

We're looking for an experienced Account Executive to take ownership of new business development across APAC, selling innovative technology solutions into universities, colleges and other education organisations.

This is a full-cycle sales position for someone who enjoys consultative, solution-led selling and wants the autonomy to develop a territory rather than simply inherit a list of accounts.

You'll be responsible for building pipeline, developing relationships with senior stakeholders, progressing complex opportunities and ultimately closing new business across the region.

The Opportunity

The organisation already has an established presence within the Australian Higher Education market, providing a strong platform from which to grow.

There remains significant opportunity across Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region, both through new-logo acquisition and the expansion of a multi-product technology portfolio.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, Sales Development, Marketing and Customer Success to identify opportunities and develop an effective regional go-to-market strategy.

This is an opportunity to play an important role in the next stage of the company's APAC growth.

Key Responsibilities

• 
  

  Own and execute a regional sales strategy across Australia, New Zealand and APAC

  
  


• 
  

  Generate, develop and close new-logo SaaS opportunities

• 
  

  Present compelling, value-led technology solutions to prospective customers

  
  


• 
  

  Identify strategic cross-sell and upsell opportunities

  
  


• 
  

  Work closely with SDR, Marketing and Demand Generation teams to develop pipeline

  
  


• 
  

  Collaborate with Customer Success, Product and Implementation teams throughout the customer journey

  
  


• 
  

  Maintain accurate pipeline, opportunity and forecasting information within CRM systems

  
  


• 
  

  Attend customer meetings, industry events and conferences across APAC when required

  
  


• 
  

  Provide market insight to help shape regional messaging, positioning and go-to-market strategy
