Job Overview

We are Relativity. A market-leading, global tech company that equips legal and compliance professionals with a powerful platform to organize data, discover the truth, and act on it. The US Department of Justice, 199 of the Am Law 200, and more than 329,000 enabled users trust Relativity during litigation, internal investigations, and compliance projects.

Our AI platform, Relativity aiR, has become the fastest-growing product in the company's history and we have consistently been named a great workplace. As we grow, we continue to seek individuals that will bring their whole, authentic self to our team.

We believe that great talent is not bound by geography and that what you do matters more than where you do it. Relativity has assumed a hybrid work strategy, allowing for employees to work from home and a physical Relativity office location within certain logistical boundaries.

Our law firm segment continues impressive year-over-year growth, and we're looking for a Lead Account Executive to help set the direction for how we engage our most strategically important clients. As a Lead Account Executive at Relativity, you will join a high-performing team of diverse, growth-minded, and creative people who embody our core values.

  - Customer Success, Sales Engineering, Product, and other internal partners - to deliver a coordinated account strategy
• Act as a thought partner to sales leadership on segment strategy, account segmentation, and engagement models - bringing customer and market intelligence back into the organization to inform how our team operates and goes to market
• Represent Relativity credibly in executive meetings, industry events, conferences, and panels, building and maintaining a strong personal network among senior legal-industry and legal-technology leaders
• Mentor and develop other Account Executives on the team through coaching, knowledge sharing, and account strategy support, modeling the standards of judgment, preparation, and executive presence expected across the team
• Contribute beyond your own book of business by taking ownership of strategic team initiatives, bringing an entrepreneurial posture to how our engagement model evolves

• Strong alignment with Relativity Core Values
• 7+ years of successful quota-carrying, full-cycle sales for large, complex enterprise accounts within a software company, with a track record of exceeding annual sales quotas of $2M or more (or a comparable scale within your market)
