About the team and role:

Klaviyo is building the future of CRM, and the Industry Advisor will accelerate our expansion in Hospitality, specifically Hotels & Travel and Entertainment & Recreation businesses. This role sits at the intersection of industry expertise, value consulting, and go-to-market execution. The Industry Advisor acts as a trusted resource and executive-level proxy in Hospitality prospect conversations to drive opportunity progression and closed-won ARR.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role. You’ll work closely with Account Executives (AEs) and Solutions Engineers (SEs), and collaborate with Product, Product Marketing, Customer Success, Partnerships, and Enablement to make sure what we learn from customers is operationalized. The result is a hospitality motion that is compelling, repeatable, and scalable. You’ll operate at both the deal and systems level, supporting high-impact opportunities while identifying patterns that can be scaled across the field.

If you’ve spent your career in hospitality — either in-house, at an agency, or with a tech platform serving the industry — and you’re excited by the idea of applying that experience at scale, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that. You’ll work directly with sales teams and customers, shaping deals in motion, while also influencing how Klaviyo shows up in the market. Your insights won’t just live in a slide deck — they’ll guide deal strategy, inform product conversations and drive partner engagements
