About The Position

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Account Executive to accelerate the growth of our Fever for Business unit within the Public Sector and Institutional segment. This role will focus on selling Fever’s live entertainment and cultural experiences to universities, schools, associations, embassies, foundations, and cultural organizations.
You will own complex, consultative sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders, longer decision timelines, and mission-driven buying criteria. Success in this role requires a strong understanding of how public and institutional organizations evaluate partners, allocate budgets, and measure impact beyond pure ROI. You will act as a trusted advisor, helping institutions leverage live entertainment and cultural programming to support engagement, education, community building, and brand positioning.

Requirements

• 5–7+ years of experience selling B2B solutions to Public Sector or Institutional clients (universities, schools, associations, NGOs, cultural institutions, government-adjacent organizations)
• Proven success managing complex, consultative, and longer sales cycles
• Experience navigating procurement, RFPs, budget approvals, and legal/compliance reviews
• Strong ability to engage and influence senior, non-commercial stakeholders
• Comfortable selling value tied to mission, impact, and long-term partnership, not just price
• Highly organized, process-driven, and resilient in environments with ambiguity and delayed timelines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong proposal and presentation abilities
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously while collaborating cross-functionally
• Experience with CRM tools and structured forecasting
• Fluency in English; additional languages are a strong plus

Responsibilities

• Own and grow a portfolio of Public Sector & Institutional prospects and clients (universities, schools, associations, cultural organizations, embassies, NGOs)
• Drive net new revenue through new logo acquisition and long-term institutional partnerships
• Manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, from early discovery through contract execution
• Navigate non-standard procurement processes, including RFPs, budget cycles, approvals, and legal reviews
• Build and execute a land-and-expand strategy within large institutions and multi-site organizations
• Identify, map, and multi-thread key decision makers, influencers, and budget owners
• Develop tailored proposals that align Fever’s offerings with institutional missions, calendars, and constraints
• Partner closely with Marketing, Partnerships, Legal, and Operations to deliver compliant and high-quality solutions
• Maintain a strong, well-qualified pipeline and forecast accurately across longer sales cycles
• Apply structured sales methodologies (MEDDIC, SPIN, or similar) adapted to public-sector buying motions
• Stay informed on trends in public sector programming, cultural funding, and institutional engagement
• Maintain excellent CRM hygiene and documentation to support cross-functional visibility

Benefits

• Attractive compensation package consisting of an OTE starting at 150,000 USD, uncapped commissions, and the potential to significantly outperform
• Health and dental insurance
• 401(K) plan
• Wellhub membership
• 40% discount on all Fever events and experiences
• Work from home one day per week (Wednesday or Friday)
• Responsibility from day one, and professional and personal growth
