Account Executive at Atomic Data – Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Account Executive is responsible for generating new recurring revenue by acquiring mid-market clients and expanding the company’s footprint with new logos. This role focuses on developing new client relationships, identifying strategic opportunities, and leading consultative sales engagements that position the organization as a trusted technology partner.
