Job description

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role:

• You’re a closer, trusted advisor, and product consultant – you’re working with prospects day-in-day-out to deliver immense ROI in an efficient, value-based sales cycle

• You’re a hunter – you’ll get a BDR leads and marketing opportunities, but you’ll prospect and tap into your network to knock down doors and blockers

• You’re a product evangelist – you’ll solution Zip to meet the pain points today, but also with an eye toward our product of the future

• You’re a builder – at a startup, you’re not just a team member, but you help build the team culture and bring your best practices to the org

You Will:

• Become a product expert – learning the Zip platform through and through, so that you’re demo ready

• Become a procurement expert – learning the ins and outs of the procurement market, which is deeply ready for change and new solutions

• Use cutting-edge sales intelligence and engagement solutions to prospect, manage deal cycles, and ultimately bring on new customers

• Be adaptable and flexible – as part of an early-stage hyper-growth company, we are rapidly growing our process but we want you to help shape our sales process

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of closing experience in technology SaaS sales

• Self-driven – you don’t need someone to motivate you to put in your best every day

• You’d describe yourself as organized, efficient with your time, and an excellent communicator

• Experience using tools like Salesforce, Zoominfo, LinkedIn SalesNav, and Outreach

• Willing to go the extra mile to make sure our customers, company, team, and yourself succeed

• A bachelor’s degree is required (specifically in Finance, Technology, or a related field or experiential equivalent)

• Prior work experience at a financial services company, or selling to financial services companies – such as banks, credit unions, fund & asset management, consumer finance, or insurance

• Ability to work in a hybrid position
