About the Role :

We are looking for an Account Executive to join and help build our sales team in North America. The sales team is responsible for attracting new merchants and contractors to offer their customers payment options through Upgrade. What's unique about this role is that you'll be joining our team at the ground floor. If you've ever dreamed of working at an early stage start-up, this role will allow you to contribute well beyond the scope of a normal AE role, and to have a hands-on opportunity to help create a business from the ground floor. You'll be able to do all of this under the umbrella of an established Bay-Area FinTech without the risks that most early stage start-ups face. Our future leaders will likely come from this initial group of entrepreneurial sellers, so come join us and help build something great in Atlanta.

What You'll Do :

• Have a desire to not only sell, but to shape go-to-market offerings and sales processes
• Own the entire end to end sales cycle from create to close
• Maintain a robust sales pipeline within target accounts and track in Salesforce
• Develop key relationships with your clients at the C Suite level and cultivate lasting relationships with customers
• Refine and deliver sales presentations to customers
• Consistently overachieve targets through a customer-obsessed approach
• Engage in and champion the proper culture and processes for a motivated, balanced, and highly efficient team capable of scaling up at later stages of organizational maturity
• Clearly articulate and demonstrate our value proposition, creating excitement and enthusiasm among prospects
• Regularly iterate messaging that will scale our outbound prospecting engine
• Partner with the Sales and Customer Success leadership teams to develop account-based sales strategies to uncover value for all go-to-market department leaders
• Drive activity using multiple channels and resources inside and outside the organization. Prospect and generate relationships with new customers
• Adopt and execute high-velocity selling methodologies
• Have a passion for driving customer adoption and satisfaction

What We Look For :

What We Offer You :

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
