Description
AIIM is hiring an experienced Enterprise Account Executive to build and grow a book of business with mid-market and enterprise organizations across Canada.
This is a growth-focused sales role for a proven professional who can identify opportunities, open new accounts, develop senior-level relationships and turn initial projects into long-term client partnerships.

Once an account is won, you will continue to develop the relationship, identify additional opportunities and grow the account across AIIM’s full range of customer communication and print solutions.
