Enterprise Account Executive

Pogo Technologies

Priorities may shift quickly. Oftentimes, we're tackling very ambiguous problems that don't have clear-cut answers. At times, you'll need to build things in a day: we live and breathe a value called "Calculated Speed". We don't have structured management (yet!). We expect more than 9 to 5 - raw hours make an impact at our current stage. We trust each team member to create a flexible work schedule that allows them to be most productive while accommodating other priorities outside of work. We also strongly encourage time off to recharge the batteries: in addition to unlimited PTO, we've implemented a minimum 20 days vacation policy.

Role Description We’re hiring our first AEs at Pogo to help us scale our B2B enterprise business from $XM ARR to $XXM ARR. You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to expansion. - Lead generation & engagement: Get Pogo in front of the right people by building relationships with prospects across outbound email, calls, conferences, and dinners. Stay on top of inbound and referral leads and keep pipeline moving. - Qualification & closing: Lead discovery, demos, and follow-up conversations to understand prospect needs and close new business. Build compelling ROI cases and navigate contract negotiations to get deals over the line. - Consultative selling with trials & POCs: Own the trial experience end-to-end, coordinating with other Pogo team members to ensure every project is successful and accelerates the path to closing a subscription. - Renewals & expansion: Own the renewal cycle for your accounts and actively identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities. Build deep relationships with existing clients to understand their evolving needs and grow revenue within the base. - Process & feedback: Help build and improve the sales playbook as we scale. Bring structured learnings back to the team and contribute to a culture of rapid iteration on what's working. - Travel: Up to 3-5 days a month. - Cross-team collaboration: Work closely with GTM, Engineering and Product team members to make sure new clients are set up for success from day one. Partner with the founding team on strategic deals and revenue priorities. Qualifications - Likely 3-10 years of sales experience, including selling to enterprise customers end-to-end. - You're a hunter. You're energized by building pipeline from scratch and you don't wait for leads to come to you. - You're a strong communicator who can earn credibility quickly with senior stakeholders and translate a product demo into a compelling business case. - You're hands-on and resourceful. You do whatever it takes to get a deal across the line. - You take ownership of your number. You know where you stand at all times and you're always working the problem. - You're a fast learner who picks up new products, industries, and buyer personas quickly. - You use AI tools to work smarter and to do better research, better outreach, better prep. Requirements - Bonus: You can tell stories with data. - Bonus: You have sold insights or data analytics products. Benefits - Help build the GTM motion from the ground up. - Sell a product customers genuinely want. - Work directly with the founders and product team. - Operate with fast feedback loops. - Own meaningful customer relationships. - Join a highly product-minded team. - Shape the culture early. Why you might not be excited about us - There’s very little structure (yet). - You’ll need to thrive in ambiguity. - You’ll wear a lot of hats. - We expect more than 9 to 5 — raw hours make an impact at our current stage.
