We’re a cloud technology pioneer in the creative industry and we’re constantly releasing innovative solutions to serve 2,000 of the world’s most exciting brands.

We're hiring an Account Executive to own new business across our core markets, someone who builds their own pipeline, runs a sharp sales process, and closes consistently. If that sounds like the kind of role where you do your best work, we want to hear from you.

This role reports to the Global VP of Revenue and is fully remote.

What You'll Do: 

In this role, you will: 

• Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to close, across our core target markets. 
• Personally source at least 30% of your own pipeline and meetings, while also working meetings sourced by marketing and our BDR team. 
• Lead strategic discovery calls, not just demos, that identify and quantify how PhotoShelter ties to a prospect's business outcomes. 
• Build and execute account plans, with clear strategies for targeting and acquiring the accounts you own. 
• Build a real business case for an economic buyer and multi-thread a buying committee, keeping deals moving without waiting on the prospect. 
• Keep Salesforce accurate day to day, stages, next steps, and close dates, since our forecast depends on it, and work daily in Gong and a sales engagement tool like Engage, Outreach, or Salesloft. 
• Act as a partner to sales leadership, bringing market and competitive feedback that helps shape our strategy, messaging, and sales motion. 
• Travel up to 10% of the time for tradeshows, events, and in person prospecting. 

Requirements

What You'll Bring to the Table:

Here's the experience and skills we're looking for: 

• 4 to 7 years of full cycle SaaS sales experience with a track record of hitting quota. Industry background in education, sports, or media is a plus, not a requirement. 
• Experience running an outbound, self sourced pipeline motion, not just working leads that land in your queue. 
• A track record of qualifying out of bad deals early instead of carrying dead opportunities in your pipeline. Given our deal size and 90 day sales cycle, we need people who can tell a real opportunity from a maybe within the first couple calls. 
• Comfortable running a demo built around a prospect's actual workflow instead of a generic script, and able to speak to how the platform fits into the tools they already use. 
• Experience selling against the status quo, meaning teams getting by on Dropbox, Google Drive, or shared folders, not just named competitors. 
• Familiarity with Salesforce, Gong, and a sales engagement tool such as Engage, Outreach, or Salesloft. 

Benefits

What We Offer:

• The ability to grow within a scaling team, selling into recognizable brands across education, sports, healthcare and media, including some larger enterprise accounts, while working a fast paced sales cycle. 
• Real investment in your development, with dedicated sales enablement and ongoing training, not just a rep left to figure it out on their own. 
• Daily visual inspiration and media industry enablement through exposure to amazing photographers, videographers, and storytellers who use our tools. 
• Comprehensive Benefits. We offer the usual good stuff: Competitive annual base salary ($100k-$125k + uncapped commission, salary commensurate with experience), monthly commissions, 401(k) with company match, robust insurance coverage (health, dental, vision, life), generous PTO plus company holidays, remote work, and more!
