Business Development Account Executive – LegalTech
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an ambitious, self-starting Business Development Sales Executive to join our LegalTech sales team at OpenText. This is a quota-carrying role, ideal for a seasoned Sales Development Representative looking to step up, or an emerging Account Executive keen to accelerate their career.
You'll focus on selling OpenText’s market-leading eDiscovery and LegalTech solutions into enterprise, law firm, and public sector accounts. That means generating your own leads, developing new business opportunities, and actively supporting the wider LegalTech regional sales team. You’ll help build a strong network of prospective clients, promote our solution in the market, and contribute to closing strategic opportunities. It’s a role for someone who can work independently, hold their own quota, and collaborate well with others to drive success.
In addition to building your own portfolio, you will partner with existing team members to develop their book of business, this isn’t about simply booking meetings or passing leads, you will develop nurture campaigns to penetrate and drive strategic account development. You’ll play a key role in how OpenText brings its LegalTech solutions to market — helping legal and compliance teams across sectors discover smarter ways to manage risk, respond to litigation, and modernise their operations.
