Role Description We're looking for a driven, relationship-minded Account Executive to join our Strategic Accounts team. In this role, you'll manage and grow high-value client relationships, lead complex sales cycles, and deliver tailored solutions that help our customers bring humanity and efficiency to the leave and accommodations experience. If you're a consultative seller who thrives on building trust with executive stakeholders and closing meaningful deals, we'd love to connect. - Manage the full sales cycle for strategic accounts — from prospecting and solution design through negotiation and close. - Build and sustain strong relationships with executive stakeholders across strategic client organizations. - Partner with internal teams including Marketing, Customer Success, and Product to ensure solutions align with client objectives. - Develop account strategies and identify opportunities for expansion and cross-selling within your portfolio. - Track and report on sales metrics, forecasts, and market trends to inform strategy and executive-level reporting. - Represent AbsenceSoft at industry events and client meetings, reinforcing brand credibility and deepening client partnerships. Qualifications - 7+ years in enterprise/strategic sales, with at least 3–4 years managing complex, high-value accounts. - Proven success in B2B sales, ideally within SaaS or HR technology, with a focus on large or strategic accounts. - Expertise in consultative and solution-based selling for complex, multi-stakeholder deals. - A consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales quotas. - Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, particularly with C-suite and executive audiences. - Ability to manage long sales cycles and navigate complex organizational structures. - Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred) and the Microsoft Office suite. - Background selling leave management, HR, or workforce management solutions is a plus. - Familiarity with compliance and leave laws such as FMLA, ADA, and PWFA is a plus. - A strategic thinker with sharp problem-solving skills and a customer-first mindset. - Self-motivated, accountable, and resilient in a fast-paced, evolving environment. - Team-oriented, with the ability to achieve independent sales objectives while contributing to collective success. Benefits - Impact that matters: You’ll do work that shapes the future of the modern workplace. - Flexibility and trust: We’re remote-first and results driven. You’ll have the freedom and flexibility to do your best work, wherever you do it best. - Growth and development: You’ll have access to learning resources, leadership programs, and real opportunities to take on new challenges and expand your impact. - Competitive rewards: We offer comprehensive benefits, a performance-based bonus program, and equity opportunities – because when we grow, you should too. - Time for life: Recharge and reconnect with flexible time off, paid holidays, and flexible leave programs designed to support every season of life. - Belonging and balance: We’re building an inclusive culture where every voice is valued, collaboration is celebrated, and success is shared.
