You’ve built a solid foundation in supply chain planning and consulting. You enjoy working with clients to solve planning challenges—and you’re increasingly drawn to the commercial side: building relationships, engaging decision-makers, and helping clients understand what’s possible with connected planning.
You’re at a stage where your planning expertise is solid, and you’re ready to step into a more client-facing, market-focused path. This role gives you the space to do exactly that while developing as a commercial professional in a long-cycle, relationship-first sales environment.
As a Account Executive, Anaplan Consulting, you’ll help grow Bluecrux’s Anaplan business across Europe by combining your planning expertise with a nurturing, consultative commercial approach. You’ll spend meaningful time at industry events, conferences, and partner activities, meeting prospective clients, activating new opportunities, and advancing conversations through thoughtful follow-up.
Sales cycles in this space are often long and relationship-driven. Your impact will come from consistent engagement, credibility-building conversations, and understanding a client’s planning maturity—not quick wins or high-pressure selling.
This role is built for someone with ~5–8 years of experience who thrives in a trust-based sales environment where relationships matter as much as solutions.
• Build and nurture relationships with clients, prospects, and ecosystem partners across Europe.
• Lead or support discovery conversations to understand planning challenges and organizational dynamics.
• Maintain ongoing contact with stakeholders over months and quarters—not just weeks—advancing conversations steadily and thoughtfully.
• Provide relevant insights, materials, and follow-ups to keep opportunities warm and moving.
• Represent Bluecrux at industry conferences, Anaplan events, partner meetings, and sector gatherings.
• Activate outbound opportunities through networking, conversations, and establishing new connections.
• Follow up on leads generated at events with tailored outreach and value-led next steps.
• Strengthen Bluecrux visibility in communities across life sciences, manufacturing, and CPG.
• Translate client needs into high-level connected planning concepts with our Anaplan specialists.
• Co-develop proposals, SOWs, value cases, and vision decks that reflect client priorities.
• Participate in demos, workshops, and pitch meetings—helping articulate the “why now” and “why Anaplan” story.
• Support pipeline development through proactive outreach, consistent nurturing, and ecosystem collaboration.
• Partner closely with delivery teams to ensure context, scope, and expectations are aligned from the start.
• Stay connected as engagements begin to maintain continuity and relationship trust.
• Capture insights from ongoing work to identify next-phase opportunities or additional value areas.
