Here, transparency and trust are core to how we operate, and every person has the opportunity to make a visible impact. If you want to grow, stretch, and do work that truly matters, Gong is the place to do the best work of your career.

As an Enterprise Account Executive on our New Logo team, you'll be responsible for driving net-new customer acquisition within the Enterprise segment, focused exclusively on Gong's Foundations product. You'll own the full sales cycle — from prospecting to close — in greenfield territory, establishing Gong as the Revenue Intelligence platform of record for organizations that aren't yet customers.

This is a hunting role. You'll be measured on new logos landed, not expansion or renewal, and you'll partner closely with SDR, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to build pipeline in accounts with no existing Gong footprint.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Drive new business growth within a dedicated greenfield territory of mid-sized, scaling companies (roughly 1,000–5,000 employees), managing the full cycle from lead generation to close 

Develop and execute account-based prospecting strategies to build a pipeline of net-new logos, driving the majority of opportunities through self-sourced activity

Position Gong Foundations as a strategic entry point into the Revenue Intelligence category, articulating clear ROI and value to economic buyers and senior stakeholders

Build tailored account plans identifying key decision-makers, buying processes, and competitive landscape for each target account

Partner with SDR, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to align outbound strategy and account coverage

Utilize MEDDPICC or a similarly rigorous value-based selling methodology to navigate complex enterprise buying cycles

Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene in Gong/CRM

Consistently meet or exceed new logo acquisition and quota targets

QUALIFICATIONS 

2–5 years of closing experience, with 0-1 years selling in an Enterprise motion (organizations with 1,000+ employees)

Demonstrated track record of new business generation — not primarily account management or expansion

Experience selling a platform or category-creating solution, ideally where budget/urgency isn't already established (demand creation vs. fulfillment)

Proven success against quota (President's Club, Rep of the Year, or similar recognition)

Excellent discovery skills — able to quickly surface the single issue a prospect cares about most

Experience selling to senior leaders such as the C-Suite, CROs, and other key go-to-market stakeholders within enterprise organizations

Hunter mentality with a passion, and demonstrated success, for prospecting and securing new logos across new categories

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex concepts and present them in an approachable and engaging way

Experience with Gong.io is preferred but not required

PERKS & BENEFITS
