Wheelhouse’s ideal Account Executive (AE) is a creative and collaborative individual, excited to speak to potential client & partners on a daily basis about revenue management & industry trends in the rapidly evolving vacation & short-term rental space.
As is par for the course, the ability to enthusiastically convey a compelling value prop, repeatedly, is essential for success. We believe the ideal candidate will have industry knowledge and experience. We have a fun story to share, a platform with an NPS of 60+, strong retention, and a product team that ships meaningful, new features on a bi-weekly basis. In short— we're making weekly progress toward our goal of being a beloved and essential platform.
We enjoy teammates who can think strategically and critically, and always have an eye toward scaling our platform ever faster.
What you'll be doing:
- Maintain a funnel of 50 - 100 active prospects/leads through various phases of the Wheelhouse sales funnel, from prospecting through onboarding.

Your first 90 Days:
You’ll work directly with Wheelhouse sales teammates & leadership - observing conversations with clients, learning the platform, learning the systems/software our team leverages, and mastering the ins/outs of our industry.
As you gain comfort with the product & space (est. 3 - 5 weeks), you’ll start to develop and maintain a personal funnel of leads and prospects through all phases - starting with smaller clients and eventually taking on larger client relationships.
Processes and procedures will be provided to you, however as this is a collaborative & fast evolving startup environment, which means we are excited to work with you to strategize, optimize and improve processes, strategies and experiments for the benefit of the entire Wheelhouse team.
Perks and Benefits:
