Lead a team of 4-5 mid-market Account Executives to drive quota attainment and healthy pipeline. Coach reps, join and structure deals, improve forecast accuracy, hire and onboard talent, and partner cross-functionally to refine GTM execution. Hands-on role with regional travel (~30%) and involvement in company events.
Who We Are
At Apartment List, we’re transforming how people rent—making it smarter, easier, and a lot less frustrating. Our platform has already matched over 1.4 million renters with their next home, while helping properties fill units with the right residents. Backed by strong growth and a big vision, we’re building the future of renting—and inviting bold thinkers to help us shape it!
About the Role
This is an entry-level leader role designed to make maximum impact on a small team focused on driving deal execution. Reporting directly to our VP of Sales, you'll take on a team of 4-5 Account Executives in our Mid-Market segment and be expected to stay close to the deals themselves, not just the activity. This is a hands-on leadership seat: you'll coach, but you'll also jump on calls, help structure deals, and show the team what winning looks like from inside the work.
Here's what you'll do
- Own quota attainment and pipeline health across your team's book of business, with direct accountability for forecast accuracy and pacing to plan
- Lead and coach a team of 4-5 Account Executives through deal reviews, pipeline inspection, and regular 1:1 coaching
- Get in the weeds on deals alongside your reps: join calls, help structure terms, and step in to close when it counts
- Carry influence over outcomes even on deals you're not directly running, setting the standard for what good execution looks like
- Partner closely with the VP of Sales and sales leadership during the initial ramp period to shape team structure, territory design, and hiring priorities as the segment evolves
- Hire, onboard, and develop Account Executives as the team grows, building the bar for who joins this team
- Partner with Marketing, Product, and Operations to surface field insights and keep GTM execution aligned as the mid-market motion matures
What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:
- 2-4 years of experience managing or directly leading a sales team, ideally in a mid-market or SMB segment
- Demonstrated experience staying close to deal execution, working pipeline and calls directly rather than managing only from reporting
- Experience hiring and developing Account Executives, or clear readiness to do so
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, with reporting lines and team structure still being defined
- Working experience with CRM tools like Salesforce for pipeline management and forecasting
- Ability to travel regionally 30% of the time in order to help close business, plus 1-4 trips per year to attend company and industry conferences and events
Nice-to-haves:
- Background in proptech, multifamily, or an adjacent vertical market
- Familiarity with Gong or similar conversation intelligence tools
- Experience building a sales team or segment from an early stage
This is a fully remote role, with an expectation of travel listed above.
