No state-issued license is required for most commercial account executive positions outside of insurance, where the New York Department of Financial Services requires a property and casualty or life producer license. Large New York employers in tech and financial services typically promote from inside sales or business development representative roles.
How much do commercial account executives make in New York?

Which companies hire commercial account executives in New York?
Employers hiring commercial account executives in New York right now include Enterpret, Jc Residential And Light Commercial, and Salesforce, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York City's concentration of enterprise technology, financial services, and insurance firms means commercial account executive hiring is ongoing throughout the year across both established corporations and growth-stage companies.
Which New York cities have the most commercial account executive jobs?
New York, Belfast, and Melville have the most commercial account executive openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its density of enterprise technology, financial services, media, and insurance headquarters, while Albany and Buffalo draw commercial sales hiring from regional healthcare systems, government-adjacent technology vendors, and financial institutions with significant upstate operations.
Are there remote commercial account executive jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most sales fields. About 33% of commercial account executive openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves virtual demos, video calls, and digital pipeline management. Client-facing territory roles tied to in-person meetings are most likely to require a hybrid or on-site presence, while inside commercial roles at SaaS and financial technology companies tend to offer more flexibility.
How can I get hired as a commercial account executive in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a business development representative or inside sales representative at a New York-based technology or financial services company, then moving into a commercial account executive role after demonstrating consistent quota attainment. Companies like Salesforce, IBM, and major insurance carriers in New York run structured sales development programs for recent graduates. A Salesforce certification or a New York Department of Financial Services producer license adds measurable credibility for candidates without a long sales history.
