Job description

The Mid-Market Account Executive (Transactional AE) owns net-new business across a defined U.S. territory, selling into small and mid-sized utilities. Typical ACVs range from $25k–$45k, with opportunities spanning $10k on the low end up to ~$80k.

Instead of managing a small number of large enterprise deals, you will run a fast-paced, high-volume pipeline. At peak, you may manage 50–80 active opportunities across multiple stages. This environment moves quickly and demands strong organization, discipline, and the ability to context-switch with ease.

You will run the full sales cycle from qualification to close, partnering closely with a dedicated BDR and a shared Solutions Engineering resource. You’ll guide public-sector buyers who are often purchasing SaaS for the first time, navigating them through procurement, internal alignment, and a structured process that keeps deals moving.

This is a hybrid role based in Toronto (GTA) with regular travel multiple times per quarter for conferences, onsite workshops, evaluation sessions, and in-person deal acceleration.

Responsibilities

Own and run a fast-paced, high-volume sales cycle

• Manage 50–80 opportunities when your pipeline is at full strength.
• Lead structured discovery and qualification, ending every meeting with clear next steps.
• Respond quickly and professionally to inbound questions, follow-ups, and proposal requests.
• Use templated proposals to move fast while managing more complex RFP responses with care.

Partner closely with your BDR and Solutions Engineer

• Collaborate daily with your dedicated BDR on outbound strategy, sequencing, and pipeline creation.
• Coach your BDR to improve meeting quality and funnel conversion.
• Work with a shared SE to coordinate demos, technical sessions, and evaluations.

Guide inexperienced SaaS buyers through a clear, confident process

• Help utilities understand how SaaS procurement works.
• Bring procurement into the cycle early to avoid surprises.
• Multithread across small stakeholder groups: operations, compliance, IT, procurement, finance.
• Create structured buying paths that reduce complexity for first-time SaaS buyers.

Drive urgency, clarity, and deal progression

• Hold alignment sessions, value discussions, and onsite workshops.
• Leverage in-person meetings and “test drives” to accelerate late-stage opportunities.
• Maintain impeccable CRM hygiene and forecast with accuracy.

What Success Looks Like

• You consistently achieve or exceed new ARR quota (with a ramp plan in year one).
• You maintain high conversion rates despite running a large volume of deals.
• Your pipeline is clean, organized, and predictable.
• You stay calm, structured, and effective in a fast-paced environment that others may find overwhelming.
• You develop strong territory procurement knowledge and leverage it to gain competitive advantage.

Requirements (Sound like you?)

Required

• 3–5+ years of quota-carrying sales experience (SaaS or public sector).
• A track record of being a consistent overachiever — top 10% in your current or previous roles.
• Ability to manage 50–80 active opportunities across multiple deal stages.
• Strong organizational rigor with unmatched follow-through.
• Experience navigating procurement and multi-stakeholder government buying processes.
• Comfort with 4–6 month sales cycles.
• Competitive by nature, but collaborative in practice — you want the team to win with you.
• Creative, resourceful, and proactive problem solver.
• Based in the Greater Toronto Area with the ability to travel across Canada, US and Ireland, multiple times per quarter.

Nice to Have

• Public sector or utility sales experience.
• Experience in high-velocity SaaS environments.
• Experience selling with an SE-led demo model.
• Experience responding to RFPs.
