The template

{{Company name}} is hiring an Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for {{Product or service}} — from first conversation to signed agreement. You will run discovery that earns trust, build business cases buyers can champion internally, and close deals that stay closed. We want a seller who wins on preparation and honesty, not pressure.

What you'll do

  • Own a full-cycle pipeline: qualify inbound, generate outbound, and keep {{Pipeline coverage target}} coverage
  • Run discovery calls that surface real pain, budget, and decision process
  • Deliver demos and presentations tailored to each buyer's actual problem
  • Build proposals and business cases, and navigate procurement, legal, and security reviews
  • Negotiate and close deals against a quota of {{Quota}}, forecasting your number accurately
  • Keep the CRM clean: stages, next steps, and notes your future self can act on
  • Hand off closed customers to onboarding and success with full context, then stay a familiar face
  • Feed market and competitive intelligence back to product and marketing

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of closing experience in B2B sales, ideally with deal sizes near {{Typical deal size}}
  • A track record of quota attainment you can walk us through deal by deal
  • Strong discovery and qualification discipline using a structured framework
  • Forecast accuracy and pipeline honesty — no happy ears
  • Excellent written and verbal communication with senior buyers
  • Resilience and a genuine drive to prospect, not just work handed leads

Nice to have

  • Experience selling to {{Target buyer or market}}
  • Familiarity with modern sales tooling: CRM, engagement platforms, call recording
  • Experience in a company at our stage: {{Company stage}}
  • Additional languages for cross-market selling

Compensation and benefits

  • Salary: {{Salary range}}
  • Benefits: {{Benefits summary}}
  • Location: {{Location / remote policy}}

How to apply

{{Application instructions}} Tell us about the hardest deal you closed and the moment it almost died. If you don't tick every box but believe you can do this job well, we still want to hear from you.
