Overview

BruntWork is a global offshore staffing and outsourcing company helping businesses across 45+ countries build high-performing remote teams.

We’re looking for a seasoned Account Executive who knows how to close.

Not a pipeline babysitter. Not someone who waits for deals to progress on their own.

We want someone who can run a strong discovery, identify the real business problem, handle objections confidently, and move clients from “thinking about it” to “let’s get started.”

This is consultative sales, not transactional selling. You’ll be speaking with founders, executives, and business owners who value directness, professionalism, and speed.

If you’re the type of salesperson who takes ownership of your pipeline, follows up relentlessly, and genuinely enjoys winning, you’ll do well here.


What You’ll Be Responsible For

Own the Full Sales Cycle

You'll manage opportunities from the first conversation through signed agreement and handoff.

This includes:

• Pre-meeting attendance confirmation calls
  
• Running discovery calls with business owners and decision-makers
  
• Understanding hiring needs, business challenges, and growth goals
  
• Recommending the right hiring solution and talent strategy
  
• Presenting BruntWork's services confidently
  
• Handling objections and creating urgency
  
• Securing billing details and moving clients into recruiting
  
• Viewing, vetting and presenting candidates.
  
• Coordinating handoff to internal interview team once client has chosen candidates.
  
• Keep accountability until the contract is signed.
  

Run High-Quality Discovery Calls

We don't believe in scripted sales conversations. 

We believe in combining our sales framework with understanding the client's business well enough to give valuable advice.

You'll be expected to:

• Ask strong discovery questions
  
• Identify pain points and hiring bottlenecks
  
• Challenge assumptions when necessary
  
• Build trust quickly
  
• Position yourself as an advisor, not just a salesperson
  
• Set clear expectations around timelines, costs, and outcomes
  

Manage Your Pipeline Like a Professional

Pipeline management is not admin work. It's part of sales.

You'll be expected to:

• Keep HubSpot clean and accurate
  
• Maintain detailed notes on every opportunity
  
• Ensure every deal has a clear next step
  
• Follow up consistently and proactively
  
• Maintain accurate forecasting
  
• Drive opportunities through the pipeline with urgency
  

A full pipeline means nothing if it isn't moving.


Operate With Speed

Speed matters in our business.

You'll be expected to:

• Respond quickly to inbound enquiries
  
• Maintain high-quality written communication
  
• Follow up relentlessly without becoming a nuisance
  
• Coordinate with recruitment, operations, and onboarding teams to remove roadblocks
  

Success Metrics

Top performers in this role consistently:

• Achieve or exceed monthly revenue targets
  
• Maintain strong close rates from qualified opportunities
  
• Convert inbound leads into recruiting starts
  
• Secure billing details during or immediately after sales calls
  
• Keep pipeline data accurate and current
  
• Present high quality candidates fast
  

Requirements
