About the Role

Reporting to the Mid-Market Sales Manager, the Account Executive is responsible for generating and closing new B2B SaaS revenue within the mid-market segment. This is a true hunter role, requiring a high level of outbound prospecting and pipeline creation. A significant portion of this role involves proactive outreach — including cold calling, strategic email campaigns, and social selling — to engage new prospects and create qualified sales opportunities. Successful candidates are comfortable initiating conversations, navigating organizations, and driving deals from initial discovery through to contract execution. Sales cycles typically range from several weeks to a few months, requiring strong pipeline management, consultative selling, and the ability to build internal champions within target organizations. We’re looking for someone who is energized by building pipeline from the ground up, stays persistent through rejection, and takes ownership of their results.
