About The Position

This role sits at the intersection of sales, consulting, and education. You'll be part strategist, part trusted advisor, and part champion for a product that people genuinely find valuable. You'll be selling something that has genuine impact in the academic world, backed by a company that invests in its people and its product. If you want a role where your relationships and your judgment matter as much as your numbers, this is it.

Requirements

• Proven experience in account management or B2B sales, with a track record of securing renewals and growing accounts
• Strong communication and presentation skills — you can command a room or a Zoom call with equal confidence
• Consultative instincts: you ask smart questions, listen carefully, and tailor your approach to each client
• Solid organizational skills to juggle a busy territory without dropping the ball

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the academic or library market (a real advantage, not just a checkbox)

Responsibilities

• Own and grow a territory of academic accounts across the US, driving renewals and identifying upsell opportunities in syndicated data and custom research solutions
• Build genuine, lasting relationships with librarians, faculty, and administrators who rely on your expertise
• Lead training sessions and product demos — in person and online — that turn casual users into passionate advocates
• Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting new institutions to closing contracts, with support from a collaborative internal team
• Think like a consultant: uncover strategic gaps, understand what your clients are trying to achieve, and propose solutions that actually serve them

Benefits

• Healthcare insurance
• Food vouchers
• Saving fund
• Generous holiday allowances
• Flexible start and finish times
• Two volunteering days a year
• Opportunities for international transfer
• Flexible hours
• Regular socialising including frequent after work meet ups, summer and Christmas parties and a whole range of sports and other groups to be involved with
