About this role
Cision is seeking an experienced Account Executive to drive enterprise sales of its media intelligence and communications platform. This role demands someone with at least 10 years of complex B2B sales experience, particularly in navigating large deals with multiple stakeholders and procurement-heavy environments.

This is an opportunity suited to seasoned enterprise sellers who thrive in structured, high-stakes environments and want to represent a market-leading platform used by 84% of the Fortune 500. A university degree is preferred, as is formal training in sales methodologies.
