This page reads every active posting whose normalized title is Account Executive across the ten boards JobsPipe collects and reports what those employers ask for: the seniority they target, whether the role is remote, whether pay is disclosed, the skills named in the text, and the industries, countries and company sizes behind the postings.

18.2% of these postings are marked remote, 39.1% state a salary or range, the most common seniority label is senior at 13.2%. Postings with no seniority label are counted in the denominator, so the seniority shares do not sum to one.

## FAQ

### What share of account executive job postings are remote?

18.2% of the active postings on this page carry a remote flag. The flag is read from the posting itself, so hybrid roles that never say remote are counted as on-site. Filter the API with remote set to true and the same scope to reproduce the figure.

### How many account executive postings disclose salary?

39.1% state a salary or a range in the posting text or structured fields. Disclosure varies more by board and by jurisdiction than by role, so compare the figure with the board-level shares on the sources pages before reading it as a market signal.

### Which skills appear most in account executive postings?

The most named skills are account-management (94.9%), communication (49.9%), lead-generation (42.6%), crm (37.3%), salesforce (30.2%). Skills are extracted from the posting text against a curated lexicon, and a posting counts once per skill it names, so the shares overlap.

### Which industries hire the most account executive roles?

By ISIC division, the largest shares are Software and IT services (19.8%), Employment and staffing (3.0%), Financial services (2.8%). Industry is resolved from the employer's classification where known, and postings without a classification are excluded from this cut.

### Which functions are employers in Account Executive hiring for?

The largest functions by share of postings are Sales (77.5%), Sales and Business Development (18.6%), Business Development and Sales (0.6%), Sales, Business Development, and Information Technology (0.5%). Function is assigned from the normalized title and the posting text.

### Where do these numbers come from?

From JobsPipe's live index of postings on the ten boards it collects, deduplicated by posting id and counted on 2026-09-09. Only shares are published; the underlying counts stay private. Every figure can be reproduced against the JobsPipe API with the filters shown on this page.
