Job Description

Rise.ai is looking for an Account Executive to own and grow revenue through both inbound and outbound sales. This is a hands‑on individual contributor role for someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment, builds their own pipeline, and closes deals without needing a step‑by‑step playbook. You'll need strong business instincts, comfort with ambiguity, and a genuine drive to get merchants not just to buy, but to actively use and rely on the product. On a day‑to‑day basis, you will:

• Own the Full Sales Motion: Drive both inbound and outbound pipeline end‑to‑end, from prospecting and qualification through demo, negotiation, and close.
• Execute Outbound Strategies: Proactively identify, engage, and qualify prospects through tailored outreach and messaging that resonates with eCommerce merchants.
• Manage Inbound Interest: Qualify and convert inbound leads efficiently, prioritizing opportunities with the strongest fit for long‑term adoption and usage.
• Deliver Value‑Driven Demos: Run consultative, tailored product demonstrations that connect Rise.ai capabilities to real merchant pain points and growth goals.
• Build Merchant Relationships: Develop strong relationships with merchants, brands, and key eCommerce players to drive pipeline and long‑term retention.
• Track and Optimize Performance: Monitor your own pipeline health and KPIs, report on commercial performance, and continuously improve conversion and process efficiency.
• Collaborate Cross‑Functionally: Align with marketing on lead quality, campaign performance, and go‑to‑market execution; coordinate with customer success for smooth post‑close onboarding and adoption.
• Stay Sharp: Keep pace with Shopify ecosystem developments, competitive dynamics, and product updates to position Rise.ai effectively at every stage of the sales cycle.

Note: We are seeking NY-based candidates who are able and willing to work on‑site three days per week.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a Sales or Business Development role in eCommerce, SaaS, MarTech, Payments, or adjacent tech sectors.
• Proven track record of building pipeline and closing deals independently, with both inbound and outbound experience.
• Familiarity with Shopify merchants, partners, agencies, and integrations.
• Business‑savvy and comfortable working without a rigid playbook: you can navigate ambiguity, set your own priorities, and create structure where little exists.
• Experience in SMB or high‑velocity sales environments where volume, product adoption, and actual usage are the real measures of success.
• Strong communication, relationship‑building, and negotiation skills.
• Some travel and hybrid in‑office presence may be required.
