At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.
LinkedIn’s Sales Solutions team is dedicated to changing the world of sales by helping sales teams' better find, understand and engage their prospects and customers.
As an Account Director, you will work closely with customers across Australia and New Zealand, using strategic social selling to demonstrate the value of Sales Navigator and support long‑term growth and partnership. You will operate in a ‘team selling’ environment and will work with other senior sales reps and cross-functional partners to manage and grow large complex accounts. You will be dedicated to making our customers stronger and seeking out opportunities for growth. Although you possess a strategic approach to selling and strive to meet and exceed revenue goals, you will always have your clients’ best interest in mind and act as their internal advocate to ensure they are set up for success.
