Make Your Mark:
Are you ready to move beyond the standard Enterprise Account Executive role? This is your chance to be at the forefront of our next major growth story, joining a key team tasked with accelerating BlackLine's market leadership across the UKI.
You will be joining an elite team - where almost every member is a President's Club attendee this year - and working with an inspiring leader. We are looking for a true team player who is eager to collaborate, share ideas, and celebrate wins together. It's an exciting time to join, with huge growth potential in the region. You won't be going it alone; you will be fully supported by a world-class Go-To-Market team of BDRs, Solution Consultants, and Marketing experts, plus a network of high-performing peers.
While BlackLine has a strong, referenceable customer base globally, UKI is a key growth market with significant greenfield opportunity. You'll be selling in an unsaturated region, allowing you to focus on winning new logos without navigating a crowded internal field. We are looking for a sales professional who thrives on the challenge of breaking into new accounts, selling true business value to C-suite executives, and taking complete ownership of their results.
If you are an ambitious, strategic thinker ready to build a legacy and make a significant impact, this is the role for you.
You'll Get To:

• Architect and execute a strategic territory plan to penetrate new enterprise accounts with $1-10bn in revenue across the UK&I, from initial identification to closing;
• Drive the full sales cycle with self-sufficiency, from prospecting and discovery to negotiation and final sign-off;
• Become a trusted advisor to CFOs and Controllers by moving beyond technical features to articulate a clear and compelling return on investment, uncovering critical business initiatives and mapping them to BlackLine's solutions;
• Build and lead virtual teams, orchestrating internal resources across Marketing, Business Development, Pre-Sales, and Value Engineering to build meaningful relationships and deliver a world-class customer experience;
• Translate your strategic activities into a predictable sales pipeline, consistently delivering on revenue targets and quota attainment;
• Act as an active listener and a clear communicator to build credibility, foster trust, and influence buying decisions at the highest level of enterprise organisations.

What You'll Bring:

• You are a proven top performer with a consistent track record of overachieving sales quota, driven by the challenge of ambitious targets. Experience with SaaS solutions is essential;
• You have a history of selling to the C-suite and understand how to navigate both IT and business units, articulating a clear ROI value statement;
• You have a consistent history of overachieving quota and revenue goals and are driven by the challenge of exceeding targets;
• You demonstrate outstanding account planning and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain meticulous records in Salesforce;
• You excel at building meaningful relationships, can orchestrate internal and external teams to drive deals forward, and have a strong sense of ownership and integrity;
• Your verbal and written communication skills are exceptional, allowing you to adapt, build trust, and influence decisions in a complex, team-oriented environment.

Thrive at BlackLine Because You Are Joining:

• A technology-based company with a sense of adventure and a vision for the future. Every door at BlackLine is open. Just bring your brains, your problem-solving skills, and be part of a winning team at the world's most trusted name in Finance Automation!
