About the Role

As an Enterprise Account Executive at DraftWise, you will own a portfolio of strategic, large law firm accounts and net-new enterprise logos.

  • Drive expansion of existing customers from initial land (high 5-figure deals) to mid-high 6-figure, multi-year agreements.

2. Strategic Relationship Management

  • Build trusted advisor relationships with partners, practice group leaders, C-suite, KM, Innovation, and IT stakeholders.

  • Orchestrate internal and external stakeholders through long, complex buying cycles - legal, procurement, security, and finance.

3. Consultative Discovery & Solutioning

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date pipeline, forecasting, and activity data in our CRM and sales tools.

  • Share structured insights from the field to help shape GTM strategy, pricing, and positioning.

Qualifications
  • Experience: 7+ years in B2B SaaS sales, with at least part of that in enterprise or mid-market/enterprise hybrid roles. Experience selling into law firms or JD is a strong plus.
