About The Position

BenefitHub is a fast-growing, PE-backed employee benefits and discount marketplace platform trusted by employers nationwide. We're looking for a Business Development Account Executive to drive net-new revenue by selling directly to large and enterprise organizations — building relationships with HR, Benefits, Total Rewards, and executive decision-makers, and closing new employer clients without relying on broker or channel intermediaries. This is a high-autonomy, individual-contributor role for someone who thrives on complex, consultative, direct enterprise selling. You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close, engaging enterprise buying committees directly, and you'll partner closely with Customer Success and Account Management to grow the accounts you help bring in. If you like owning your own pipeline, building trust directly with enterprise decision-makers, and being measured on real revenue outcomes, this role is built for you.

5+ years in enterprise sales, business development, direct/complex B2B sales and strategic account growth.
A track record of generating new business directly with large and enterprise organizations, without reliance on channel or broker partners.
Experience managing a full sales pipeline and consistently hitting new business and account growth targets.
Background selling employee benefits, HR technology, SaaS, employee engagement, voluntary benefits, or related B2B solutions.
Strong relationship-building, executive presentation, negotiation, and consultative-selling skills.
Comfort navigating complex buying committees across HR, Benefits, Procurement, Finance, and Executive stakeholders.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
Ability to travel as required for the role.

Nice To Haves
