About the Company

We are a recruitment and employer reputation platform that helps companies measure and shape their reputation in AI search so they can be visible, trusted, and chosen by top talent. The talent market is being redefined by AI. As the HR tech space gets louder with new tools, the real shift is happening on the candidate side to discover and apply for jobs. We are the first to give companies the ability to manage how they appear in this new search landscape. We already reach millions of tech professionals each month, and our 1,800+ customers, from breakout startups to Fortune 100 giants, partner with us to tell authentic stories about their cultures and attract top talent. We’re helping companies future-proof their employer brand and win in the era of intelligent search.

About the Role

As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for selling new business to Talent Acquisition leaders within large, enterprise companies. You must be someone who is driven to surpass goals while delivering a great experience to prospects, clients, and coworkers. We’re looking for someone who knows what it takes to build something from the ground up, treats the job like their own business, and thrives on daily learning. You’re a proven closer with experience working with enterprise accounts in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. You have a track record of success selling against established incumbents and navigating sales cycles. You’ve demonstrated consistent performance in both up and down markets, showing resilience, adaptability, and strategic thinking under pressure.

Responsibilities

Industry Knowledge – This is an industry that requires education. People and costs are two of the most important things to effectively run a business, yet data and attribution can be hard to come by to measure tools within the people and talent acquisition space. You will need to be constantly upleveling yourself with what is going on in the market and how that could impact our customers and/or our audience that they’d like to reach.
Account Mapping + Relationship Building – To successfully navigate to global budgets within the enterprise, it will be critical to understand org structures and how buying decisions are made across your prospects.
Drive Value – While you will have a sales development rep working closely with you, it is your responsibility to convert your pipeline. This means adding value on your calls but also in any touchpoint along the sales process. In a time where everyone is getting inundated with spam emails, how do you stand out and how do you add value in a way to stand out?
Ownership – There is an added level of responsibility to fully own your results and a huge opportunity with a lot of TAM. You need to enjoy the good and bad that comes with running your own business and helping us improve along the way. With ownership also comes owning your number and hitting (or exceeding!) your target.

Qualifications

Full cycle sales experience
Full cycle ENT or MM experience
Experience navigating complex buying groups as an enterprise level environment
Ability to meet or exceed one million dollars in revenue target per year
Proven ability to generate new business
Ability to strongly influence decision makers at C and VP levels
Experience working with Salesforce or another CRM preferred
Excellent understanding of sales process, forecasting and pipeline management
HR sales experience (HR buyers) is strongly preferred (but not required)
