Landmark Ventures•New York, NY

18d•$60,000 - $85,000•Onsite

About The Position

Landmark Ventures is seeking a highly motivated, resourceful, technically capable, and detail-oriented Account Executive to join the Marketing team within our Business Development Advisory practice. This is a high-output, execution-focused role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys combining research, technology, data, AI, communication, and problem-solving. The Account Executive will help manage outreach and marketing campaigns across multiple clients, own lead generation and prospect research, maintain high standards of data quality, and support client-facing initiatives and strategic projects, including in-person executive events. On any given day, you may move between building a targeted prospect list, researching executives and companies, using AI tools to accelerate research and content development, managing outreach campaigns, working within CRM and prospecting platforms, responding to client requests, preparing reports, and supporting an upcoming event. Success in this role requires more than strong communication skills. We are looking for someone who can learn quickly, leverage technology and AI effectively, execute at a high level, manage significant detail, prioritize competing deadlines, and independently solve problems without sacrificing accuracy.

Requirements

High-Output Execution: Comfortable managing a significant volume of work across multiple clients and priorities. Ability to move quickly without allowing accuracy or attention to detail to deteriorate.
Technical & AI Aptitude: Highly comfortable with technology and actively use AI and LLM tools to work more effectively. Understand how to use these tools to accelerate work without outsourcing judgment. Instinct to investigate, experiment, troubleshoot, and find a path forward when encountering unfamiliar platforms, incomplete information, or unexpected problems.
Resourcefulness & Independent Problem-Solving: Ability to take an objective, determine needed information or tools, make reasonable decisions, and move work forward. Knowing when to solve independently and when to escalate.
Research & Critical Thinking: Curious and analytical. Ability to understand a client's business, identify relevant companies and executives, synthesize information from multiple sources, and translate broad objectives into targeted action.
Ownership & Urgency: Take responsibility for outcomes, not simply assigned tasks. Proactively identify next steps, communicate when something is at risk, and consistently follow through.
Attention to Detail: Notice things others miss. Maintain a high standard for accuracy and quality when reviewing contact data, evaluating AI-generated research, preparing client deliverables, or launching outreach campaigns.
Prioritization & Adaptability: Ability to calmly assess competing priorities, determine what matters most, and adjust quickly when deadlines or client needs change.
Communication & High EQ: Excellent written and verbal communicator who can work effectively with colleagues, clients, and senior executives. Understanding nuance, communicating professionally, and knowing when to ask questions versus when to make a reasonable judgment and move forward.
Growth Mindset & Coachability: Welcome direct feedback, learn from mistakes, and apply what is learned. Motivated by increasing responsibility and becoming an increasingly valuable contributor to the team.
1 to 4 years of relevant experience in business development, account management, marketing, sales, research, client services, consulting, or a related field.
Demonstrated proficiency using LLMs and generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or comparable platforms in a professional or academic setting.
Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
Experience with LinkedIn and sophisticated online research is essential.
Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies, software, and workflows.
Strong project management and organizational skills.
Experience working under tight deadlines and managing multiple simultaneous priorities.
Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.

Experience with Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or similar CRM and prospecting platforms is strongly preferred.
