Senior Sales Account Executive

Department: Sales

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: United States

Reporting To: Global Sales Manager

Description

Hey 👋 I’m George- Global Sales Manager at Pinpoint.

We’re a high-growth, HR-tech start-up building and selling software that helps in-house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today, we have a strong foundation in place, with a mature product, strong product-market fit, and happy customers.

We're experiencing rapid, sustainable growth. Last year, we exceeded our target by 120%, with all AEs achieving over 80% of quota. Q2 2024 saw the team at 113% of quota. This year, we've won 4 of our 10 largest customers, with Q2 ACV up 93% year-over-year. To that end, we are looking for a Senior Account Executive to join our team. 

You'll have the chance to significantly impact our evolving team. We seek bar-raisers with proven experience consistently winning enterprise deals (accounts > 1,000 employees) in competitive markets. You'll need to hit the ground running and continually set new win rate records in this segment.
A few things to note before applying:

• This is a 100% remote role that requires you to be located in the EST or CST time zones, within the US.
• The majority of pipeline is marketing-sourced but you will play an important role supporting that by attending events, and following up leads. Pipeline is expensive to generate so we care as much about win rate as we do quota attainment. You should expect to self-source at least 25% of your new business.
• We don't have dedicated Sales Engineers or Enablement teams, so you'll need to proactively seek knowledge, leverage external resources, and collaborate with team members to stay informed and effective.
• Our product has strong market fit and an established pricing strategy.
• We are a horizontal product, serving a wide range organization sizes. You'll need to quickly understand every part of our product and comprehend the varying challenges faced by different prospects.
• Our champion often struggles to tie their challenges and goals to business impact / the economic buyer’s priorities. You’ll need to become an expert in helping them.
• You'll need to manage a high-volume workload efficiently, maintaining quality. You'll be expected to excel in thorough meeting preparation and deliver swift, high-quality prospect follow-ups.
• Our headquarters is in Jersey, UK, and we have a dispersed team across the UK and the US. Our customer base is evenly split between the US and UK.
