Account Executive (m/f/d)
Help us build the future of consulting.
What if the world's best consulting talent was just a click away?
At Consultport, we're making it happen.
We're building a global platform connecting leading companies with top-tier consultants and AI experts. From business growth and digital transformation to artificial intelligence, we help organizations access the expertise they need to solve their most important challenges. With 15,000+ experts across 50 countries and over 1,000 client companies, we're transforming how consulting works.
Now, we're looking for ambitious, curious, and entrepreneurial minds to help us accelerate our growth.
The opportunity
Build new client relationships and turn outbound conversations into qualified project requests for a global B2B platform.
Your focus is winning new project requests. You'll identify potential clients, open doors through calls, email, and LinkedIn, and help senior decision-makers define where they need external expertise. You'll turn interest into a concrete brief with a clear need, scope, and timeline, then hand it over to the team responsible for consultant sourcing and matching. You'll own your outbound pipeline and be measured on the qualified project requests you generate.
You'll open doors, uncover business challenges, and win the projects that drive our growth:
Spot the Next Opportunity
Find companies at moments when the right expertise can make a real difference, from entering a new market to transforming how they operate. Identify the executives leading those changes and work out how to reach them.
Build your own book of target accounts and decide where to focus your energy. Use research, buying signals, and AI tools to get ahead of the next project need.
2. Open Doors to Decision-Makers
Get in front of executives and business leaders through calls, email, and LinkedIn. Make every approach relevant to a challenge they care about.
Experiment with new ways to start conversations, turn objections into openings, and earn the meeting that gets a new client relationship moving.
3. Turn Conversations into Projects
Get to the heart of what a client is trying to achieve. Ask the questions that uncover an urgent challenge and show where an independent consultant could help them move faster.
Win the client's commitment to take the next step. Shape the opportunity into a qualified project request with a clear scope, timeline, budget, and decision-maker.
4. Build Relationships That Keep Growing
Bring each project request to our consultant sourcing and matching team with the insight they need to act quickly: what matters to the client, what success looks like, and what happens next.
Turn one conversation into a wider network of opportunities. Reconnect when priorities change, win introductions to other teams, and make Consultport the first call when a new challenge comes up.
