Account Executive - Sydney

Summary

The Account Executive role drives large enterprise growth engagements with new and existing strategic accounts and architects change success plans to help our enterprise clients establish change management capability.  In this role you’ll have an opportunity to engage with C-level executives and senior leaders in Fortune 500 organizations to manage complex change management initiatives and lead a consultative sales process to secure multi-service engagements.  The Senior Account Executive will be a self-starter with a proven track record of building relationships, structuring and selling sophisticated holistic solutions aligned to customer needs, and successfully navigating complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders. 

Requirements

This is not a traditional sales role

At Prosci, we don’t sell transactions. We partner with senior leaders across government and large enterprises to help them successfully lead and embed change.

This is a senior business development role with a clear mandate to hunt, open doors, and build the NSW and New Zealand enterprise territory. You will be responsible for originating new opportunities across NSW State Government, large NSW‑based enterprises, and the New Zealand market, often engaging organisations early in their transformation journey.

We operate across both short and long buying cycles. Some opportunities move quickly; others require sustained executive engagement, education, and discipline over time. Success in this role depends on your ability to balance velocity with rigour, while consistently meeting structured quota attainment requirements.

A critical part of the role is the ability to holistically educate prospects on what good change management looks like — moving conversations beyond training or point solutions, and positioning Prosci as a strategic partner in enterprise‑wide transformation.

Why this role is different

Enterprise‑grade hunting
This is not volume prospecting. You will originate and shape high‑value enterprise opportunities across complex environments.

Consultative selling is essential
Success requires the ability to lead informed, structured conversations that diagnose enterprise challenges, establish value, and guide prospects toward sustainable change outcomes.

Multiple buying cycles
You will manage opportunities that close quickly alongside those that require long‑term stakeholder alignment, education, and persistence.

Commercial accountability
This role carries clear quota expectations, disciplined pipeline management, and accountability for converting demand into measurable outcomes.

Who you are

You are a senior enterprise business development professional with a strong hunter mindset and the resilience to operate across complex, multi‑stakeholder environments.

You are comfortable initiating executive‑level conversations where no prior relationship exists and educating senior leaders on the value of structured change management. You understand that enterprise selling requires patience, credibility, and the ability to guide prospects toward clarity — not pressure them into premature decisions.

You bring strong commercial discipline, confidence navigating both short and long sales cycles, and the ability to consistently convert opportunity into results.
