Enterprise & Carrier Account Executive

Planet Networks•Fredon Township, NJ

36d•$90,000 - $120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Enterprise & Carrier Account Executive Planet Networks | Newton, NJ | Full-time | Hybrid | Sales & Marketing About Planet Networks Planet Networks owns and operates its own fiber optic network across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, delivering high-performance Internet, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Ethernet, Dark Fiber, Wavelength (WDM), Hosted Voice, Colocation, Managed Network Services, and fiber backhaul to businesses, municipalities, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, wireless carriers, and residential customers. We are a well-capitalized technology company of more than 140 people building one of the region's fastest-growing fiber networks. We value integrity, innovation, accountability, and collaboration — and we are looking for driven sales professionals who want their work to show up on the map. The Opportunity This is a hunting role backed by a network we control. Because we own the fiber, you are not reselling someone else's circuits or waiting on a third party to quote — you work directly with our engineering team to design the solution and you sell into a footprint we are actively expanding. Two revenue streams sit with this role: enterprise and public-sector accounts across our territory, and fiber backhaul and transport for wireless carriers, tower operators, and infrastructure providers. You will own the full cycle — prospecting, discovery, proposal, negotiation, close, and the long-term account relationship that follows.
