Enterprise Account Executive

Avante Enterprise Account Executive

At Avante, we're changing the way companies think about benefits. We're an AI-native benefits intelligence platform built to turn benefits complexity into clarity. For employees, our agent Carly provides personalized, always-on benefits guidance. For benefits leaders, our agent Ava monitors their entire program, surfaces what needs attention, and delivers strategic intelligence on costs, utilization, and outcomes in seconds. Together, these agents create a closed-loop system where employee engagement data informs benefits strategy, and smarter strategy improves the employee experience.

We're based in Seattle and New York City and work 4 days a week in the office (one day remote). We're growing fast, serving enterprise customers like Samsung, Zscaler, and News Corp, and we're expanding our go-to-market team with an Enterprise Account Executive who will own a named patch of self-funded employers, partner with the brokers and consultants who advise them, and close deals that put Avante on the desks of CHROs, CFOs, and Total Rewards leaders at some of the largest companies in the world.

We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to run a full enterprise patch of self-funded employers, spanning the 2,500-employee mid-market on the low end up through Fortune 500 strategic accounts. You'll own the entire deal, from first conversation through signature, with the goal of landing new logos that look like the customers already on our roster:
Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Zscaler, News Corp, Survey Monkey, Navan, Real Chemistry, Datavant, Calix, Personify, and F5.

The buying committee for Avante is multi-stakeholder by default. You'll multi-thread across Total Rewards, Benefits, HR Operations, HRIS, IT Security, and Finance, and you'll need to credibly explain to each of them why Avante is different from the ben admin platform, the decision support tool, and the point solutions they already own. Avante is not a replacement for any of those.

It's the intelligence layer that connects them. Selling that distinction well is the hardest and most important part of the job.

You'll also work hand-in-hand with our channel partners. About half of enterprise benefits decisions run through brokers and consultants, and Avante has formal partnerships with One Digital, Howden, and Segal Benz, plus growing relationships across the broker ecosystem. The right person for this role treats brokers as force multipliers, not gatekeepers, and knows how to co-sell without losing the buyer relationship.

This role reports to the CRO. We're hiring across a range of experience. If you're a senior enterprise closer who has carried seven-figure quotas at F500 accounts, you'll find one of the largest greenfield opportunities in HR tech sitting in front of you. If you're earlier in your enterprise career and ready to step up, you'll get a patch big enough to grow into and the support to win in it.

What we care about most is whether you can run a complex, multi-threaded enterprise deal, build durable relationships with executive buyers, and operate with the urgency of a founder.

What You'll Do

• Own a named enterprise patch end-to-end. You'll work a defined account list spanning mid-market enterprise through Fortune 500. Build the territory plan, prioritize the accounts, develop the relationships, run the cycles, and close the business. The patch is yours.
• Multi-thread into complex buying committees. Avante deals are won and lost on access. You'll build relationships with CHROs, Heads of Total Rewards, Benefits Directors, CFOs, and the IT and Security leaders who clear the path. You'll know who the economic buyer is, who the champion is, who the blocker is, and what each of them needs to see before they sign.
• Sell the closed-loop story, not a feature list. Avante is in a new category. Buyers compare us to ben admin platforms, decision support tools, care navigation vendors, and point solutions, and none of those comparisons are quite right. Your job is to teach the market what benefits intelligence is, why the closed loop between Carly and Ava matters, and why purpose-built agents beat generic AI bolted onto legacy systems.
• Co-sell with brokers and consultants. Roughly half your pipeline will touch a broker or consultant. You'll work side-by-side with One Digital, Howden, Segal Benz, and the broader broker ecosystem. That means knowing the consulting firms in your patch, building real relationships with the consultants who influence your accounts, and structuring co-sell motions where everybody wins.
• Run rigorous demos and POCs. Ava reasons live. Carly answers real benefits questions. The product sells itself when it's in front of the right people, on the right data, asking the right questions. You'll partner with our Sales Engineering team to scope and run technical evaluations, including 30-day implementations that get customers live before most vendors finish a security review.
• Build a quarterly forecast you can defend.…
