The Account Executive (New Business) focuses on the prospecting and closing of new customers. Visibility, alignment, and efficiency are all requirements of the modern day marketing machine - and our Account Executives are charged with helping prospects understand how we deliver this, through Opal Enterprise or Teams Edition.

Opal is currently operating fully remote as we navigate through COVID-19. We expect to reopen our HQ office in Portland, Oregon when it becomes safe and reasonable to do so.
