Hi, we’re TechnologyAdvice.

At TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on helping B2B tech buyers manage the complexity and risk of the buying process. We are a trusted source of information for tech buyers, delivering advice and facilitating connections between our buyers and the world’s leading sellers of business technology. 

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, we are a remote-first company with more than 20 digital publications and over 500 global team members in the US, UK, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines. We’re proud to have been repeatedly recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies by Inc., as well as a Tennessee top workplace. We work hard each day and have fun, too, with monthly virtual events, recreational slack channels, and the occasional costumed dance from our CEO.

All positions are open to remote work unless otherwise specified in the requirements below. 


The opportunity

As an Account Director, your main objectives are to meet or exceed sales goals within a set of enterprise and mid-market accounts. Using a consultative approach you will own the full sales process, engage senior decision-makers in discussion, gain a deep understanding of their challenges, share previous success, bring industry knowledge to the table, and pitch and close-win relevant solutions from TechnologyAdvice’s suite of B2B marketing products and services. These include brand-to-demand activations, lead generation, advertising, StudioA content creation, and events.

While you are expected to be accountable for your own quota, you will receive exceptional support and collaboration from TechnologyAdvice’s senior leadership, client success and delivery teams, StudioA, Deal Desk, sales enablement, SDRs, and the wider business.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true.
