At The Knot Worldwide, we champion celebration - and that starts with celebrating our people. Our employees are passionate dreamers, thoughtful doers, and lifelong learners who power meaningful moments for millions around the world. We’re united by authentic connection, shared purpose, and a deep commitment to the global community we serve. Here, flexibility and belonging go hand in hand with high performance.

ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM
Are you a strategic sales professional ready to drive growth in a high-impact category? The Venue Senior Account Executive is responsible for hitting monthly sales goals by engaging with wedding professionals in our Venue and Catering categories across the United States. Using a high-volume cold calling approach and a consultative sales process, you will build rapport with business owners to advise them on industry trends and how to scale their brands through The Knot and WeddingWire’s premium advertising platforms.
The Venue category requires a high level of sales maturity and the ability to navigate a longer, more complex sales cycle. Because high-impact outreach and client consultations happen when wedding professionals are most active, success in this role requires a dedicated 40-hour-per-week commitment during our standard business hours of 9:00 am – 6:00 pm EST. We are looking for professionals who understand that consistent presence is the key to managing a successful pipeline.
Applications for this role are being accepted on a rolling basis.

- Manage Complex Pipelines: Successfully navigate a diverse and longer sales process from initial prospect identification to close.
- Consultative Value Building: Build and maintain strong phone rapport to uncover prospect needs and deliver crisp, on-point presentations that highlight our platforms' ROI.
- Drive Revenue: Consistently meet and exceed monthly revenue quotas by closing new business deals.
- Persistence & Negotiation: Proactively follow up with potential clients to negotiate contracts and maximize profit margins.
- Strategic Time Management: Organize your workday efficiently, ensuring all interactions and opportunities are meticulously tracked and updated in Salesforce.
- Team Collaboration: Work independently to hit personal targets while remaining a collaborative contributor to the broader team’s success.
SUCCESSFUL SENIOR VENUE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES HAVE
- Full Sales Cycle Experience: 4+ years of demonstrated success in full cycle sales with b2b and high-volume sales experience preferred
- Demonstrated Success: Demonstrated track record of consistent quota attainment.
- Analytical Mindset: Strong skills in identifying trends, understanding challenges, and proposing data-backed solutions.
- Persuasive Communication: Confidence and enthusiasm when presenting to decision-makers, backed by excellent verbal and written skills.
- Problem-Solving Prowess: A proven ability to deliver client-focused solutions and thrive in a fast-paced, evolving, and competitive environment.
- Organizational Mastery: The ability to work independently and manage a structured 40-hour work week effectively.
- Tech Savvy: Experience with Salesforce.com or another CRM system; a Bachelor’s degree is preferred.
WORK MODEL:
This role is fully remote and not tied to any specific office location. While there are no regular in-office requirements, we encourage our remote team members to gather intentionally for key company and team events.
