• Selling into mid‑market and enterprise companies across insurance, software, financial services and logistics at deal sizes ranging from $30K to $300K.
• Build deep relationships with engineers, product leaders and executives (e.g. CTOs, VP Product, VP Data Science, etc.)—become a trusted product specialist and subject matter expert to our customers.
• Work directly with our CEO to refine our sales strategy, iterate on messaging, and build upon sales systems, tools and processes.
• Provide structured feedback to engineering to help improve our product and identify opportunities for new use cases that expand our total addressable market.
• Maintain sales pipeline and forecasting hygiene—always providing a realistic view with an understanding of what could accelerate or put key deals at risk

Requirements

• 3+ years of account executive experience
• 1+ year of enterprise sales experience
• Experience selling B2B SaaS products
• Proficiency in technical products and APIs
• A fearless hunter mentality and a track record of quickly building pipeline
• Track record of being extremely proactive and always having next steps in mind

• Willingness to both coach and be coached
• Previous experience in early‑stage startups
• Located in Toronto and able to commute to the office 5X a week

Nice-to-Have
