Overview

Good Sam Enterprises is seeking a driven, quota-carrying Account Executive to identify, pursue, and close new B2B partner opportunities across our portfolio of protection products and services.

The Account Executive serves as a subject matter expert across our diverse lines of business and partner operating models - including affiliate referral arrangements, wholesale partnerships, sponsored and employer-paid programs, commercial and fleet solutions, and white-labeled product offerings.
