Regional Account Specialist (6 month fixed-term contract)

This hands-on role combines prospecting, account support, customer education and commercial execution. You will identify new stakeholders and use cases, provide continuity when a GCE or RAM is on leave, and lead compelling presentations and training that show clients why Sales Navigator matters and how it can help their teams succeed.

This is an exciting opportunity for a sales or account-management professional with approximately three to five years of experience who wants to build enterprise selling skills, work with strategic customers and make a visible impact at LinkedIn.

Why this role is exciting

You will work alongside Global Client Executives and Regional Account Managers, gain hands-on exposure to strategic account work and see a direct connection between your activity and client growth. If you enjoy opening doors, presenting ideas, helping customers learn and turning early interest into meaningful opportunities, this role offers a strong platform to build your career at LinkedIn.
