Commercial Account Specialist

Dow Jones Energy is seeking a strategic Commercial Account Specialist to bridge the gap between our commercial sales teams, internal research experts, and global clients. Instead of executing standard transactional sales, your goal is to proactively diagnose complex client workflows, architect targeted engagements with our world‑class research analysts, and deliver integrated market intelligence solutions.

You will drive revenue growth across both new and existing accounts by capitalizing on high‑value up‑selling opportunities and leveraging a proven track record in software or information services.

    • Demonstrable B2B enterprise sales, technical account management, or research consulting experience within the commodity, oil, gas, or chemical sectors.
    • Full verbal and written fluency in English.
    • Proficiency in CRM platforms (Salesforce) and Excel for account tracking and data scoping.
    • Willingness to travel 40% within the region.

      Collaboration:
