• 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)
