Account Executives at Klaviyo are given a tremendous opportunity to have a huge impact on Klaviyo's customers, on Klaviyo's trajectory, and as a result, on themselves. At Klaviyo, AEs pride themselves on being product experts who focus on expanding the right customers in the right way — driving genuine platform adoption and long-term value.

CG AEs own the full expansion sales cycle with existing Klaviyo customers — from identifying whitespace to running discovery, demo, and driving the buying process to close — across Klaviyo's growing product suite including Marketing, K:Service (Customer Hub, Customer Agent, Helpdesk), SMS, and Analytics.

The best CG AEs are trusted advisors to their customers, able to close a high percentage of their opportunities, forecast with accuracy, and proactively manage and grow their book of business over time.

How You'll Make a Difference

• Grow Klaviyo's revenue within our existing ANZ customer base by introducing and closing new products across Marketing, K:Service, SMS, and Analytics.
• Actively manage your pipeline and develop a strategy for long-term sustained territory growth.
• Support the success of your peers.
• Exhibit Klaviyo's values of accountability and effort.
• Transform workflows by putting AI at the center, building smarter systems and ways of working from the ground up.

Who You Are

• 2+ years carrying revenue quota with consistent overachievement, ideally selling MarTech or SaaS solutions into an existing customer base — or a Customer Success background with a strong commercial track record and a genuine appetite to move into a closing role.
• Experience selling platform or multi-product solutions — you understand how to map customer needs to a broader product suite, not just close a single SKU.
• Familiarity with Customer Support SaaS platforms (e.g. Gorgias, Zendesk, Freshdesk) and/or SMS marketing is a bonus — but not a requirement.
• Experience selling to Marketing, CX, or Operations personas and solid knowledge of the Ecommerce / Retail / Brands domain.
• A strategic seller — able to map customer goals to multi-product solutions, build consensus across stakeholders, and manage longer, more complex buying cycles.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with CSMs, Partners, and internal stakeholders to drive deals and deliver customer outcomes.
• Excited, motivated, and inspired by exceeding goals.
• Embrace failure as feedback — not afraid to hear no, and rigorous in your pursuit of improvement.
• Strong growth mindset with a bias toward action.
• Adept at influencing and relationship building; encouraging, engaging, and energetic with your team.
• You've already experimented with AI in work or personal projects, and you're excited to dive in and learn fast — finding ways to make your work smarter and more efficient.
• Full authorisation to work in Australia without any restrictions.
• Based in Sydney and able to work from our Sydney office a minimum of 3 days per week.
