Account Executive – Full Sales Cycle Ownership

Looking for something new and a little different? Have I got a position for you!!

Align is in a really interesting space in B2B SaaS – Strategy Execution. We get to talk to really smart, engaged, and motivated C-Suite leaders all day, every day. We are selling them a solution, not a product. And often we get to really know their business and leadership style while we’re partnering to find the right path.

This job isn’t for the faint of heart.  You will learn the business methodologies that our clients use. In fact, you will learn them so well that you can teach it to entrepreneurs who need your help.

Every day you will be calling on business owners and executives who are busy running their own business. The right salesperson for this job knows how to command the attention of their prospects and help them achieve their business goals.

You will own your full sales cycle—from outbound prospecting to handing off new clients to customer success. With a 3-6 week sales cycle and average deal size of $4,000-$7,000 USD per year, you’ll hit quota by closing 7-12 accounts monthly. While we do have great partnerships that bring in inbound leads, you will be generating your own pipeline in addition to these leads.

We’re a small team and every person we bring on makes a huge impact. Want to be that person?
