SUMMARY:
Placer.ai is hiring an Account Executive to join our Management Consulting team. You’ll sell Placer’s location analytics platform to strategy, management, and advisory firms. That includes global strategy houses, Big Four advisory practices, operations and restructuring firms, and boutique consultancies. Consultants use Placer to give their clients faster, more defensible answers on commercial due diligence, market sizing, site and network strategy, competitive benchmarking, and growth planning.
In this role, you’ll manage 20–30 new accounts per month across practices, offices, and firm sizes. You’ll partner with partners, principals, engagement managers, knowledge and research leaders, and data and analytics centers of excellence to put Placer at the center of their client work. When fully ramped, you’ll be expected to handle 30+ meetings per week while maintaining a clean pipeline and an accurate forecast.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Sell into consulting firms through complex, multi-threaded cycles involving practice leaders, engagement teams, knowledge and research functions, data and analytics leaders, and procurement.
- Position Placer against high-value consulting use cases: commercial due diligence (often PE-backed), market entry and sizing, retail and real estate network optimization, competitive and share-of-visits analysis, and turnaround work.
- Run both deal motions. For fast project-based deals, land quickly when an engagement team needs data this week. For enterprise and firmwide agreements, expand from one practice or office into many.
