At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centred 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 dynamic and results-focused Account Director to join our team with a strong hunter mindset combined with a strategic relationship approach. This role is responsible for uncovering net new upsell opportunity, expanding existing accounts, and delivering maximum value through our solutions. You will serve as a trusted advisor and while expected to partner with your customers on utilisation and renewal discussions, you will also work proactively identifying and capturing new business opportunities across your book of business.
You will possess a strong commercial orientation, thrive on prospecting and closing deals, and excel at building long-term partnerships that drive growth. If you're a top seller who balances consultative insight with pipeline rigor and quota performance, this role is for you.
