Job description

About Us

sunday is building the fastest, simplest way to pay in restaurants. With a quick scan of a QR code, diners can pay, tip, and leave in about 10 seconds. We believe great products should feel obvious, not complicated, and we focus relentlessly on keeping things simple while earning trust from restaurants and guests at every interaction. Today, sunday powers payments in thousands of restaurants across the US, UK, and France, helping operators turn tables faster, increase tips, and unlock valuable insights. We push ourselves to go beyond what’s expected, building with ownership, moving fast, and scaling with ambition as we tackle our biggest growth opportunity in the US.

About The Role

The Account Executive Team Lead role is a hybrid player-coach position, combining ownership of your own sales target with responsibility for leading and developing a team of up to six Account Executives. You will continue to own the full sales cycle and be expected to perform strongly against your individual quota, while also raising the day-to-day sales standards across your team. This is a hands‑on leadership role. You will coach reps on live calls and deals, help them improve their discovery and commercial skills, reinforce strong pipeline discipline and support them in becoming confident, independent sellers. We are looking for someone who combines a strong track record as an individual contributor with the ability to coach, challenge and develop others. Join early, grow fast, and shape the journey!

• Support preparation for key meetings, negotiations, and closing conversations.
• Identify where deals are stuck and help reps create a clear path forward.

Reinforce commercial standards
