What We Are Looking For
As an Strategic Account Executive, CX Solutions, you will own a small number of strategic enterprise accounts and lead complex, high-value sales cycles focused on selling Distyl’s Customer Experience (CX) solution offerings.
You will sell packaged, outcome-driven CX solutions, including conversational commerce, agent assist, next-best-action, personalization, and proactive retention to CX, Operations, and Technology executives at Fortune 1000 companies. These are not generic AI services; they are defined solutions with clear scope, success metrics, and repeatable deployment patterns.
This is a quota-carrying role for a top-performing enterprise seller who thrives in category-defining environments and is comfortable closing multi-million-dollar CX transformation deals with senior executives.
