Role Description As a Commercial Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle, spending most of your time talking with prospective customers, running demos, and guiding follow-up conversations to close deals.

As segments split out and new verticals launch, strong performers can move into mid-market and enterprise, take on management, or help build the playbook for a brand-new initiative. Recent team attainment has been strong, with the group hitting 127% of goal in a recent quarter. Responsibilities - Own the full sales cycle from first conversation through close - Run product demos and lead follow-up conversations with prospective customers - Manage a high-volume, high-velocity pipeline of inbound opportunities - Contribute to a growing outbound motion as it ramps - Collaborate with teammates, share what is working, and help refine playbooks and processes - Consistently meet and exceed quota Qualifications - 5+ years in tech sales, with a track record of consistently holding and hitting quota in a closing role - Experience in a high-volume, high-velocity sales environment that you find energizing - Background working in a startup or new-initiative environment, comfortable operating amid ambiguity and excited to build - An ownership mindset, strong curiosity and business acumen, and high coachability and adaptability - Bonus: experience selling into finance and accounting teams or e-commerce brands, or a background in accounting Benefits - Compensation: $170K-$200K OTE (uncapped commission) - Work Model: Fully remote, with light travel a few times per year for team and industry events
