Edge Commercial Account Executive
Why We Have This Role
Qualtrics Edge is an AI‑powered market research platform that blends trusted human panels with synthetic audiences and automated analysis to deliver faster, lower‑cost, and more actionable insights. We help organisations move from slow, one‑off studies to always‑on, subscription insight programs that power real decisions. As an Edge Account Executive, you'll sell that shift to CMOs, Heads of Insights, Product leaders and researchers—opening new accounts, winning pilots, and converting them into multi‑year subscriptions that drive marketing, product and CX outcomes.

How You'll Find Success

• Lead with outcomes: build clear ROI cases (time‑to‑insight, cost per response, decision speed) and quantify value for buyers.
• Consultative seller: run multi‑threaded cycles across exec and operational stakeholders; translate research needs into technical + service solutions.
• Product fluency: explain synthetic audiences, open‑end AI analysis and validation approaches simply and credibly.
• Pipeline discipline: strong forecasting, deal hygiene and use of frameworks (e.g., MEDDICC/MEDDICC‑like).
• Cross‑functional collaborator: work tightly with XM AEs, Value Management, Delivery and Product to design proofs‑of‑concept and scale deployments.
• Hunter + Farmer mindset: source new logos and expand existing accounts into broader, recurring engagements.
• Resilient operator: manage complex procurement and long cycles while keeping deals moving.

How You'll Grow

• Deepen expertise in AI‑enabled research and synthetic data — a market skillset in high demand.
• Build executive selling and strategic account planning capabilities, moving toward enterprise AE or GTM leadership roles.
• Work alongside product and data teams to influence roadmap and learn product management and data validation approaches.
• Access coaching, role‑specific certifications and regular shadowing with senior sellers.

Things You'll Do

• Identify and develop new opportunities within universities, research institutes, and government departments.
• Manage complex sales cycles from prospecting to close, ensuring strong alignment between client objectives and Qualtrics solutions.
• Identify key stakeholders, partner with XM Account Executives to create joint account plans, and coordinate with legal and procurement to close contracts
• Turn pilots and projects into subscriptions; secure renewals and expansions across ANZ.
• Educate clients on the advantages of combining traditional survey data with synthetic approaches.
• Represent Edge at customer events and webinars; contribute feedback to product and GTM.

What We're Looking For On Your Resume

• Proven outcomes in SaaS, data or market‑research sales (quota attainment, deal sizes, renewals), preferably 3+ years.
• Experience selling to Marketing, Product or Insights and Research leaders; comfort with five‑to six‑figure commercial deals.
• Track record of turning pilots or proof‑of‑concepts into subscription agreements.
• Strong written and verbal communication with clear executive presence and stakeholder mapping examples.
• Familiarity or curiosity about AI/NLP, synthetic data, and data quality validation — you don't need to be an engineer but you can hold technical conversations.
• Excellent pipeline discipline and use of sales methodology (examples of MEDDICC, champion building, or similar).

What You Should Know About This Team

• Small, focused GTM team selling a disruptive product — high ownership, direct influence on strategy and materials.
• Close partnership with product, data science and delivery teams: your customer feedback shapes the roadmap.
• Fast feedback loops: see the impact of your wins quickly and help scale best practices regionally.
• Strong mentoring culture: regular 1:1s, peer shadowing and structured onboarding to shorten ramp time.
• We measure impact by customer outcomes, not activity metrics — you'll be judged on business results.
