Hireology is a 15-year market leader in HR technology, trusted by thousands of businesses to help them hire and build outstanding teams. We’re growing fast—and we’re looking for a Major Account Executive to own a defined territory and make it their own.

This is a full-cycle, new business role. You’ll build your pipeline from the ground up and own every stage of the deal—from first outreach to signed contract.

What You’ll Do
  • Own the full sales cycle from cold prospecting to close—no hand-offs, no shortcuts.

  • Build and protect a pipeline with enough coverage to consistently exceed quota.

  • Hunt new business through strategic outreach, trade shows, conferences, and every channel available.

  • Deliver sharp, compelling demos—web and in-person—that make Hireology’s value impossible to ignore.

  • Negotiate deal terms and pricing to close fast and close well.

What We’re Looking For
  • 4+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience, owning every stage of a deal.

  • Hospitality SaaS experience is a strong advantage.

  • Salesforce proficiency preferred.

  • A data-driven mindset—you track your metrics because they tell you where to push harder.

  • Strong communication skills: you read the room, handle objections with confidence, and guide deals forward—not pressure them.

  • A self-starter mentality: you build genuine pipeline, not wishful thinking.

  • Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent track record of results.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary: $100,000 | OTE: $166,000 with uncapped commission

  • Health, Dental, and Vision coverage from day one

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Unlimited PTO and mental health days

  • External learning budget

  • Real career advancement—we promote from within
