A dot connector - you take disparate pieces of information to weave them into a cohesive insight, which you can then turn into a strategic plan
“No” is just the starting line - you never give up on a client or a deal, you push through obstacles and see friction as a new opportunity to solve a problem
Process oriented and technology obsessed – you are keen on having established processes and steps in place in order to achieve a desired end goal, and you take every advantage you can of the technology available to you to scale your team’s impact
Drives results – you focus and prioritize the work that will impact business outcomes, and you’re allergic to not hitting your numbers
Innovative - An experimenter and tinkerer, unafraid of trying new things and pushing for aggressive outcomes
What You’ll Bring to Buildout
4+ years of sales and/or account management experience, in a quota carrying capacity
2+ years of experience managing Account Managers or similar post-sale customer-facing roles
Proven ability to drive results, with a track record of meeting and exceeding revenue targets and/or account growth targets
A hands-on and deep understanding of B2B SaaS deal flows, relationship building, and pricing mechanisms
We know there are great candidates who won’t check all of these boxes, and we also know you might bring important skills that we haven’t considered. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
