Position Responsibilities

Help business owners run stronger, more profitable companies.
We’re seeking a high‑impact Account Executive who thrives on net‑new logo acquisition, consultative selling, and owning the full sales cycle end‑to‑end. This role is ideal for a sales professional who enjoys working directly with small to mid‑sized construction businesses, often partnering closely with the company owner or principal decision-maker to solve real operational and financial challenges.

Own the full net-new sales cycle, from territory planning, prospecting, and self-generated pipeline through negotiation and close.
Sell Deltek Maconomy and Deltek Vantagepoint to architecture, engineering, environmental consulting, and project-based professional services firms.
Build and execute a strategic territory plan focused on priority accounts, whitespace opportunities, and high-potential A&E prospects.
Create and develop new pipeline through outbound prospecting, account mapping, networking, referrals, events, and collaboration with Sales Development.
Engage senior stakeholders including CFOs, COOs, CEOs, CIOs, Managing Partners, Finance Directors, Operations Leaders, and Practice Leaders.
Run structured discovery and consultative sales conversations to uncover business challenges around project profitability, resource planning, forecasting, billing, reporting, utilization, and operational control.
Position Deltek’s value clearly against customer business priorities, linking Maconomy and Vantagepoint to measurable outcomes and ROI.
Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles using proven sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN, or Solution Selling.
Partner with Sales Engineers, Services, Product Marketing, Customer Success, Partners, and Sales Development to deliver a strong customer buying experience.
Maintain a high volume of quality new prospect meetings to build a healthy, predictable pipeline.
Use AI-powered sales tools and market insights to improve account research, personalization, prospecting, and sales execution.
Manage forecasting, pipeline hygiene, deal qualification, and activity tracking accurately in Salesforce.com.
Represent Deltek at industry events, customer meetings, partner sessions, and networking opportunities.
Develop satisfied customers who can become references and advocates within the A&E market.
Consistently meet or exceed quota through disciplined execution, strong territory ownership, and effective deal management.

Qualifications

4+ years of B2B technology sales experience, preferably in SaaS, ERP, PSA, finance, or project-based business solutions.
Proven track record of net-new logo acquisition and hunting within a defined territory.
Experience selling complex software solutions to senior stakeholders such as CFOs, COOs, CEOs, CIOs, Managing Partners, Finance Directors, Operations Leaders, and Practice Leaders.

Experience selling into A&E, engineering, consulting, professional services, or project-based organizations is highly advantageous.
Understanding of project-based business challenges such as project profitability, utilization, resource planning, forecasting, billing, reporting, and operational control.
Comfort using AI-powered sales tools and modern prospecting techniques to improve sales effectiveness.
