Job Description
The Elan Account Sales Rep manages a portfolio of large ‑sized financial institution partners and is responsible for driving credit card growth and long‑term program success. Rather than direct selling to end customers, this role delivers results by enabling and influencing partner financial institutions—encouraging adoption of card‑related marketing and technology initiatives, identifying growth opportunities within existing programs, and ensuring timely, successful contract renewals.
As the primary relationship owner, this role leads strategic and executive‑level partner conversations and works closely with internal sales, service, underwriting/credit, and marketing teams to deliver coordinated solutions.
Regular in‑person partner engagement is expected, with responsibility for effective travel planning and budget management to support relationship and business objectives.
