Job Description

This role will be based in Mexico City.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

LinkedIn is looking for a Talent Solutions Account Executive I (TAE1) to join our New Business team in Mexico City.

• Maintain accurate forecasting and high standards of CRM hygiene

• Consistently meet or exceed quota targets through strong execution and disciplined funnel management

• Identify and drive cross-sell opportunities, especially expanding into Learning solutions

• Identify larger strategic opportunities within the territory and navigate them effectively when present

• Leverage AI tools and data insights to improve productivity, prospecting quality, and deal execution

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (SDs, ADs, Marketing, Partners) to maximize opportunity creation and success

• Share market insights and contribute to the development of team best practices
