Job description

Account Executive (Early Career) – IT Staffing & Solutions

Greater Minneapolis–St. Paul Area (Hybrid/Client-Facing)

We’re partnering with a national IT staffing and solutions firm to add an early-career Account Executive to their Minneapolis team — their flagship market and one of the top-performing groups in the organization.

This role is designed for someone looking to break into a true Account Executive path. You’ll work alongside experienced, high-performing sellers, gain exposure to active client accounts, and start owning opportunities early in your career.

You won’t be starting from scratch — you’ll plug into existing relationships while building your own pipeline over time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner closely with a senior Account Executive to support and grow key client accounts
• Step into existing relationships and begin owning smaller opportunities
• Identify and expand into underpenetrated areas within active accounts
• Build pipeline through a mix of account expansion, warm introductions, and targeted outreach
• Learn how to navigate enterprise environments, including MSP/VMS models and longer sales cycles
• Collaborate with recruiting and delivery teams to drive successful placements and client outcomes

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

• This is a sales role (not recruiting) with a clear path to full Account Executive ownership
• You’ll be client-facing, not behind the scenes
• You’ll learn how to run a full sales cycle — not just generate leads

What We’re Looking For

• 1–4 years of experience in sales, business development, or a client-facing role
• Interest in building a career in B2B sales within IT staffing or professional services
• Strong communication skills and comfort engaging with clients
• Competitive, motivated, and eager to learn from experienced mentors
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment

Compensation

• Uncapped commission + performance incentives
• Clear path for earnings growth as you take on more ownership

Why This Opportunity

• Join a top-performing market with strong leadership and established client relationships
• Gain hands-on experience with enterprise accounts from day one
• Learn directly from experienced sellers in a structured, supportive environment
• Clear progression into a full Account Executive role with increasing ownership and earning potential
