Role Summary:

We're hiring a Senior Account Executive to play a pivotal role in the next phase of growth for one of PatSnap's most strategic and fastest-growing verticals.

This is an opportunity to join a business that is redefining how R&D organizations discover, protect, and commercialize innovation. Trusted by 18,000 companies, including 1/3 of the top R&D spenders globally, PatSnap's AI-native platform combines patent intelligence, regulatory data, and market insights to help customers make better decisions across the innovation lifecycle.

As a Senior Account Executive, you'll lead strategic, consultative sales cycles with some of the most innovative organizations in the world. You'll engage senior stakeholders across R&D, innovation, IP, competitive intelligence, and commercial functions, helping solve complex business challenges that directly influence product development, portfolio strategy, and long-term growth.

This isn't transactional SaaS selling. You'll be responsible for building and executing territory plans, generating and progressing pipeline, and managing complex, multi-threaded opportunities from initial engagement through to close. The conversations are commercially significant, highly visible, and often tied to some of the most important innovation decisions an organization can make.

We're looking for an ambitious, consultative seller who thrives in complex environments and enjoys translating sophisticated challenges into meaningful business outcomes. We are looking for a hunter and a consultant, not an order taker who can confidently engage technical and commercial audiences alike.

Why Join PatSnap?

• VC-backed Unicorn with a $1B+ valuation, strong financial backing, and ambitious global growth plans
• Trusted by leading innovation companies like Tesla, Colgate, Nissan, Bose, BAT, L'Oreal and MIT. 
• 20%+ YoY growth and 82% growth in enterprise deals focusing on larger opportunities with R&D focus.
• AI-native platform with advanced agentic capabilities, creating genuine differentiation in an increasingly competitive market
• Drive the growth of our North American territory, particularly the West Coast
• Join a collaborative, high-performance culture with strong leadership, enablement, and career progression opportunities
• Influence the growth of one of PatSnap's highest growth potential geographic territory
• Make a meaningful impact on organizations driving some of the world's most important innovations and breakthroughs
