Summary of Job:

As an Associate Account Executive, you will thrive in a high-velocity, outbound sales environment where your influence is the deciding factor in our growth. You are responsible for identifying and signing up new customers who require a consultative partner to navigate their hiring needs. This is a high-volume, short-sales-cycle role where your primary mission is to bridge the gap between a prospect's challenges and our solutions. We are looking for a "closer" who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, drive the conversation, and guide customers through a seamless buying process.

This includes structured learning, consistent role playing, and live call practice to ensure you’re building real-world skills from day one. The goal is to prepare you for a seamless transition into a full quota-carrying role within your department.

• Ability to conduct professional and compelling business conversations.
• Proven ability to multitask and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• High comfort level with screen-sharing and digital presentation tools.
• Results-oriented mindset with a track record of meeting or exceeding benchmarks.
• High level of adaptability and a positive attitude when facing challenges.
• Coachable and the ability to integrate feedback quickly.

As part of our team you’ll enjoy:

• Competitive salary

• A fun environment where work-life balance is valued

The US base pay for this position is $15.39 USD per hour. In addition to the base hourly rate, this role is eligible for a target commission of $39,600.00 USD annually (based on full-time hours and 100% quota attainment). Your actual compensation will vary based on performance against sales targets.

Depending on the position offered, equity, bonuses, commission, or other forms of compensation may also be provided as part of a total compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits.
