About the role

At Learning Pool, our Customer Account Executives (CAEs) are central to the long-term success and growth of our customers. As a Customer Account Executive, your role goes beyond transactional sales — you are a trusted growth advisor who understands your customers’ strategic goals and proactively identifies ways Learning Pool can support them.

You will own a defined portfolio of existing accounts and be responsible for driving growth through expansion and cross-sell opportunities. You'll use a consultative sales approach to navigate complex customer environments, build strong internal networks, and engage multiple stakeholders to deliver tailored solutions that increase account value.

Working closely with Customer Success Managers (CSMs), you’ll balance proactive sales efforts with collaborative customer engagement to ensure retention and create long-term partnerships. You will also act as a commercial quarterback — leading the account planning process, leveraging product and domain experts where needed, and maintaining a structured sales cadence to hit your goals.

This role requires both strategic thinking and execution excellence — balancing the art of customer relationship building with the science of sales pipeline management.
