What is an Account Executive at Iss Governance?
An Account Executive at ISS Governance (Institutional Shareholder Services) plays a critical role in driving revenue and expanding the footprint of the world's leading provider of corporate governance and responsible investment solutions. In this role, you are responsible for positioning sophisticated data, analytics, and research platforms to institutional investors, asset managers, corporations, and advisory firms. You act as the strategic bridge between complex financial and sustainability data and the institutional clients who rely on it to make critical investment and voting decisions.
The impact of this position is substantial. By expanding the adoption of ISS Governance products—particularly in high-growth areas like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) research, climate solutions, and proxy voting services—you directly contribute to the global shift toward sustainable finance and active ownership. You will navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, engaging with portfolio managers, heads of ESG, and C-suite executives who require tailored solutions to meet regulatory demands and fiduciary duties.
This role is highly strategic and intellectually stimulating. Rather than executing transactional sales, you will run consultative, value-based sales processes that require a deep understanding of market trends, regulatory shifts, and investment workflows. Successful Account Executives at ISS Governance thrive on solving complex client challenges, demonstrating executive presence, and articulating the tangible value of specialized financial data.
