Pattern accelerates brands on global marketplaces leveraging proprietary technology and AI. Utilising more than 91 trillion data points, sophisticated machine learning and AI models, Pattern optimizes and automates all levers of ecommerce growth for global brands, including advertising, content management, logistics and fulfillment, pricing, forecasting and customer service. Hundreds of global brands depend on Pattern's ecommerce acceleration platform every day to drive profitable revenue growth across 60+ global marketplaces — including Amazon, Walmart.com, Target.com, eBay, Tmall, TikTok Shop, JD, and Mercado Libre. Pattern is publicly traded on Nasdaq, giving us the financial substance and rigour of a listed company alongside the pace and autonomy of a scale-up.
As a Marketplace Account Executive, you'll work to identify and engage strategic prospect accounts in partnership with an assigned Global Named Account Manager, qualify the primary points of contact for Pattern's core offerings, identify and communicate where our partnership will add transformative value to those prospects, and, ultimately, drive deals to a close throughout the duration of the sales cycle. We're looking for someone with proven selling experience who shares the same core traits of data-driven, self-starting, and comfortable managing complexity.
This role is a genuine blend of prospecting and account executive-style ownership. You'll carry a target that sits in lockstep with your partnered Enterprise Named Account Manager, and you'll stay involved in managing and supporting deals as they move through the funnel, not just at the top of it.
Qualify prospect accounts in partnership with Enterprise Named Account Manager, and own a target that sits in lockstep with theirs.
Go beyond booking meetings — actively help manage and progress deals through the full sales cycle, not just the top of the funnel.
Find and engage primary points of contact for Pattern's Core 3P offering, and potential other solutions.
Manage the complexity of a long, multi-stakeholder deal cycle — creating your own urgency to keep opportunities moving rather than waiting to be told what's next.
Research e-commerce categories and identify high growth brands/products to trade on marketplace platforms.
Research relevant stakeholders and identify value propositions, including how to navigate and build trust with more senior internal and external stakeholders.
Network via LinkedIn and offline to build relationships and organise meetings.
Craft value driven message specific to enterprise accounts' current pain points and needs.
Work closely with Enterprise Named Account Managers on account plans and shared targets.
Inbound outreach with compelling messages through multiple value-driven touchpoints
Work closely with the enterprise account based Marketing and Alliances team to penetrate and set appointments with enterprise accounts.
Stay disciplined and on-target even against a large number with a long sales cycle — this is a marathon role, not a series of quick wins.
Bachelor/ Masters degree.
A genuine track record in direct, new-business B2B selling.
A true self-starter: someone who creates their own urgency rather than waiting to be pushed, and who can manage the complexity of a long, multi-stakeholder deal without losing momentum.
The discipline to stay on target across a large number and a long sales cycle — this isn't a quick-win role.
Comfort building relationships and navigating conversations with more senior stakeholders, both internally at Pattern and with external clients.
Excellent listening and negotiating skills.
Ability to represent Pattern in a polished and professional manner to existing and potential clients.
