In 2018, I transferred from Dublin to the LinkedIn Sydney office. I was brought over as a senior sales rep on the team, following my strong performances over my tenure in LinkedIn. A major reason I was brought over to Australia was to bring fresh ideas which I learned in the UK and Irish market to the ANZ market. I work with mid-market and enterprise businesses across Australia and New Zealand, helping them leverage LinkedIn's suite of corporate tools to plan their workforce strategy, hire the best talent and develop and retain their employees. By leveraging LinkedIn's network of over 700M+ members, these businesses are able to take a data driven approach - driving efficiency across their entire employee life cycle.On top of generating new business, a core part of my role as an Account Executive was also acting as an Account Manager for anywhere between 7-10 clients on an ongoing basis. I would work with these clients throughout the whole sales process, from initially signing them up to LinkedIn and then managing them for 6 months with the aim to show proof of concept of LinkedIn so that they would renew for a further 12, 24 or 36 months. In January 2020, there was a large restructure into how LinkedIn serves its clients. Our team was the first team globally to successfully launch and implement ‘Project Ignite’ under which we now concentrate on selling all ‘people centric’ LinkedIn solutions (Talent, Learning and Glint solutions).
