### Why this Role is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Account Executive role sits in a mature, enterprise SaaS context where expansion revenue is a core growth lever. The focus on an install base within Financial Services signals long sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, and a premium on risk-aware value articulation, all common in regulated SaaS segments. With Genesys Cloud positioned around AI-enabled customer experience, the remit also reflects how modern SaaS vendors are packaging platform capabilities into outcomes-led commercial conversations.
For a SaaS sales career, install-base expansion work is a durable specialization: it builds fluency in adoption-led selling, renewal orchestration, and identifying cross-sell paths that map to product modules and usage patterns. The listing points to structured selling and forecasting discipline through MEDDPICC and Salesforce, plus tight collaboration with Customer Success, Solution Consulting, Professional Services, and partners. That combination mirrors how revenue teams operate in scaled SaaS organizations and translates well across cloud categories.
