Account Executive

About You You are a data-fluent marketing powerhouse who is known for building deals AND building relationships – and you’re looking to join a well-established agency team where you can continue to grow your career. About the Role As an Account Executive (AE) at Metric Marketing, you’ll have the opportunity to work with some of the top private and independent schools in North America – and use your marketing expertise to help fuel their growth. You will manage a book of business through hands-on consultation, personalized selling and idea generation, and careful management of your clients’ investments. Our AEs act as true growth partners to our school clients and their executive leadership teams – perfectly balancing authentic relationship building with high-value sales. Work remotely from anywhere in Canada, with occasional travel to meet your clients face-to-face and connect with our head office team in Winnipeg, Canada. Education & Experience Proven Sales & Retention Track Record: 4+ years in account management, consultative sales, or account executive roles with a proven track record of hitting quota, protecting revenue, and expanding a book of business. Fluency in Numbers & GA4: You understand KPIs, attribution models, conversion rates, and revenue outcomes – and can translate complex GA4 data into action items and next steps. Agile & Commercial Mindset: An agency or marketing tech background is a huge plus, but what matters most is your ability to jump in, learn quickly, and adapt to a rapidly changing industry. Education Industry Experience: You are experienced in and passionate about private and independent school marketing (or curious and excited to learn). We value diverse experience and non-traditional paths. If you have a track record of high achievement in sales and marketing but don't check every single box, we encourage you to apply. Key Job Duties & Outcomes Drive Account Retention & Upsells: Take full ownership of client renewals and contract expansions. Uncover hidden growth opportunities, position new products, and secure high-value, multi-year commitments. Scale Your Book of Business: Team up with our Business Development team to hit the ground running, taking over a strategic mix of existing accounts while actively developing new relationships. Command the Boardroom: Confidently advise C-suite executives, Heads of School, and Board Members on strategy – linking marketing performance, enrollment goals, strategic plans, and ROI. Understand & Explain Marketing Data: Dive deep into analytics (GA4, conversion metrics, ROI models) to prove campaign value, demonstrate business impact, and make multi-year renewals simple based on data. Master the Seasonal Sales Cycle: Navigate and capitalize on the unique rhythm of the private school enrollment calendar, turning key seasonality windows into opportunities and nurturing relationships through your clients’ busiest months. Skills & Competencies Polished Executive Presence: Exceptional communication and presentation skills – in person or virtually. Remote Work & Travel: Ability to work independently from your remote location. Willingness and ability to travel to client sites across North America (1x/year per account) and visit Metric’s Winnipeg head office for key team gatherings. Fiscal Responsibility: Ability to manage clients' investments with absolute responsibility and trust. Why Join Metric Marketing?
