About the role

Original posting from Provectus via Lever

About the Role:

Provectus is an AI consultancy founded in 2010 and led by its founders. As an AWS Premier Partner and an Anthropic Preferred Partner, we help Financial Services & Insurance and Healthcare & Life Sciences companies design, build, and operate production AI systems. With offices across North America, LATAM, and EMEA, we work with clients worldwide.

We are hiring an Account Executive to turn incoming enterprise leads into signed consulting engagements. Clients buy multi-month consulting engagements. You won't build pipeline from scratch. Anthropic and AWS share qualified enterprise leads with us.

Your job has four parts:

Qualify those leads quickly.

Run discovery with buyers at banks, insurers and life sciences companies.

Scope the work with our architects.

Close.

What You'll Do:

Pick up new leads as they arrive, decide which to pursue, and be able to explain why

Run discovery calls with business and technology leaders. Map their process, data, regulatory constraints, budget and decision path

Work with delivery leads and architects to scope proposals and SOWs that we can deliver. You are selling consulting engagements, not software licenses

Negotiate and close to a signed SOW, with the Chief Commercial Officer joining larger deals

Run the full sales cycle: discovery, solution scoping, proposal, negotiation, close

Translate Anthropic's product roadmap and partnership incentives into the client propositions

Keep Anthropic and AWS partner reps informed on the leads they share, and take part in joint pipeline reviews

Keep the CRM current and forecast your deals accurately

Bring buyer objections and patterns from each industry back to leadership and marketing

Travel for client meetings, up to 30% of your time

What You Need:

2–4 years in a client-facing commercial role in a consulting or IT services firm where you closed deals yourself, such as account executive, account manager, or consultant who owned client sales. Be ready to share the specifics: what you closed, at what size, and how long each deal took

OR experience with banks, insurers, or pharma/biotech companies in one of these roles: selling services or technology to them (including smaller deals you closed yourself or larger deals where you supported the lead); working on client projects at a consulting firm, including proposals or scoping; or working inside one of these companies on projects where you helped evaluate and select outside vendors

Working knowledge of Financial Services (banking, insurance, capital markets) or Life Sciences (pharma, biotech). You have worked in the industry or sold into it, and you can discuss a buyer's process and regulatory constraints in their terms

Experience selling services engagements or complex B2B deals with several stakeholders

Clear written and spoken communication with director-, VP- and C-level buyers

Comfort handling a steady volume of leads and choosing where to spend your time

Nice to Have:

Experience selling AI/ML, data or cloud services

Experience working partner-referred leads from Anthropic, AWS, GCP or Azure

Why this role is worth your time:

Leads arrive every day, so your time goes into closing rather than prospecting

You learn enterprise AI consulting sales in two regulated industries

You close with support: our architects scope the work with you, and the Chief Commercial Officer joins larger negotiations

The delivery team can execute what you sell: 350+ people, 150+ certified architects, and 100+ customers in production

Work at the intersection of two AI partnerships: Anthropic and AWS

High-impact role with direct visibility to leadership

Compensation and benefits:

Base $90–120K + commission, OTE range $140–170K. The salary range is determined through interviews and a review of the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, and alignment with market data

B2B contract model or full-time model

Unlimited vacation policy

Generous health, vision, and dental insurance, and life insurance

401(k) matching plan

Our Process:

A 30/45-minute call with our recruiter

An interview with the AE about a deal you closed

An interview with the Chief Commercial Officer

An interview with the CEO
