Our mission is to enable organizations to build trust, tell their stories, and demonstrate the unique value of earned media. Muck Rack’s AI-powered, comprehensive, and integrated platform streamlines the PR workflow to help businesses generate positive media coverage, monitor mentions to manage brand reputation, and analyze PR’s impact on business outcomes. By combining media database, monitoring, and reporting into one dynamic platform, we empower teams to collaborate seamlessly, pitch effectively, and analyze results faster and more efficiently.

Founder-controlled, fully distributed, and growing sustainably, Muck Rack has received several awards for its unparalleled culture and product from organizations like Inc., Quartz, G2, and BuiltIn. We value resilience, transparency, ownership, and customer devotion, and infuse these values into everything we do.

We’re growing quickly, and we’re looking for a confident and driven Account Executive to join our team and introduce new prospects to Muck Rack, win new business, and contribute to our growth.

As a Mid-Market Account Executive, you will be focused on winning new customers in the mid-market segment of Muck Rack. You should be excited about working in a fast-paced environment with a diverse range of agency and brand prospects. You’ll be a great fit for this role if building rapport and guiding prospects through a sales process comes naturally to you.

What you’ll do:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for a portion of Muck Rack sales leads
• Achieve sales goals and meet activity quota requirements
• Respond to inbound demo requests and prospect for self-generated opportunities
• Demo Muck Rack at meetings, on calls and at events
• Negotiate contracts and close deals
• Become involved in the public relations industry

How success will be measured in this role:

• Individual revenue goal
• Pipeline generation and prospecting activity

If the details below describe you, you could be a great fit for this role:

• At least 2 years of experience as an AE, AM in SaaS sales, OR 2+ years in a PR role
• Full-cycle sales experience, including lead generation, pipeline management, and closing
• Proven ability to carry a quota and exceed goals
• Self-motivated, results-driven, and committed to personal development
• Strong relationship builder with excellent communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation)
• Comfortable using email, phone, text, and social media to engage prospects
• Dedicated to understanding customer challenges and providing solutions
• Familiar with tools like Google Drive, Salesforce, Slack, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong.io, CPQ, and Guru, with a willingness to learn new tech
• Proactively incorporate AI tools into day to day work to improve productively and accelerate delivery

Interview Overview

Below you'll find an outline of the interview plan for this role. Please note that this is what we expect the process to look like; we may ask you for supplemental information or require an additional step before making a final decision.

• 30 min interview with a member of our Talent Team
• A 1 hour zoom interview with the hiring manager
• Skills Assessment (2 hours max)
• Peer interviews with several team members
• Final call(s) with executive team member(s)

Travel & Team Engagement Expectations

This role requires up to 10% travel for team collaboration, customer engagements, and company events. As part of our commitment to building strong connections across our fully distributed team, attendance at our annual company offsite (typically held in Mexico) is expected.

Salary

In the US, the base salary for this role is $65,000 - $70,000 with on target earnings of $145,000+. Note that we typically build 1-3 quarters of ramp time with lower goals and thus lower earnings from commissions. We take a geo-neutral approach to compensation within the US, meaning that we pay based on job function and level, not location. For all other countries, we have competitive pay bands based on market standards.

Individual compensation decisions are based on a number of factors, including experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at our company to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted. If that ends up being the case, the updated salary range will be communicated with you as a candidate.
