Hi, I'm Sebastian, Director of Revenue Operations, and I am hiring a Junior Account Executive to help with our business development by building and managing relationships with new and existing clients. You will be responsible for the entire sales cycle, from prospecting and lead generation to closing deals and exceeding client expectations. This role is an onsite position at our downtown Toronto office (Adelaide and Spadina).

Where You Come In

The role encompasses the entire sales cycle, from identifying and engaging with decision-makers in large organizations to crafting compelling pitches and closing deals.

The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, highly motivated, and has a deep understanding of customer acquisition strategies. This role offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the company's growth, backed by the strong support of an engaged executive team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Sales Strategy : Develop and implement effective outbound sales strategies that align with Loop's business goals.

You should have the requisite soft skills to be effective at selling and possess a deep understanding of customer acquisition strategies. Sales cycles at Loop can range from a week to a couple of months so you should possess the organizational skills required to manage this.

• Goal Oriented : Proven track record of over-achieving quota consistently and predictably.
• Industry Experience : Experience in Finance, Fintech, and / or Enterprise SaaS is preferred.
• Communication Skills : Exceptionally clear and precise verbal and written communication skills.
• Sales Enablement Skills : Ability to set up a sales process for success, including crafting compelling sales decks and marketing collateral.
• Tenacity and Work Ethic : You enjoy pushing things forward under pressure and can manage a large workload effectively. You are equally comfortable with high-volume outbound selling and strategic, complex selling.
• Sales Operations : Bonus points if you have experience or knowledge managing CRM systems, email / SMS automation software tools.
