The role

This is an Account Executive track role. You will start by building your own pipeline through outbound efforts (primarily calling), and progressively take ownership of the full sales cycle — from first conversation to closing.

What you’ll do

1. Build pipeline (starting phase)

• Reach out to companies in our ICP via calls, LinkedIn and email
• Identify and connect with decision-makers
• Clearly explain Cutshort’s offerings and generate interest
• Build a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities

2. Own and close deals (as you ramp up)

• Run discovery calls and product demos
• Maintain high deal speed — keep moving deals towards closure faster and avoid unnecessary delays
• Handle objections and drive decision-making
• Stay consistent with follow-ups — qualified leads should not go cold
• Pick up high-intent inbound opportunities (pricing page visits, trial completions, etc.) and drive them to closure

What we’re looking for

• 1–3 years of experience in sales / early AE roles
• Strong intent to become a closing Account Executive
• Ability to think, not just follow scripts
• High ownership. You’re accountable for outcomes, not just activity
• Discipline in follow-ups and pipeline management
• Comfort with outbound (especially calling)

And most importantly:

• You enjoy sales
• You are motivated by revenue, incentives, and winning deals
• You don’t take rejection personally

Who should NOT apply

• Unsure about a career in sales
• Avoids targets, rejection, or outbound effort
• Needs heavy structure and constant direction
• Looking for comfort over growth

Growth path

• Start with building your own pipeline
• Earn the right to run demos and close deals
• Move into a full-cycle Account Executive role based on performance

(No fixed timeline — progression is performance-driven)
