About the Role

We’re seeking an experienced Account Executive (AE) to help drive new business growth and expand our presence across key public-sector and media markets. In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close while collaborating cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to ensure every client experience reflects SND’s mission of empowering public communicators.

This is an excellent opportunity for a consultative, metrics-driven sales professional who thrives in a fast-paced SaaS environment and wants to make an impact with a purpose-driven organization.

Account Executives will work remotely and must be based in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, or Texas.

What You’ll Do
  • Manage the full sales cycle from inbound lead qualification and outbound prospecting to closing new accounts.

  • Conduct consultative discovery to understand client goals and align SND solutions to their needs.

  • Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities within CRM (HubSpot experience a plus).

  • Collaborate closely with Marketing and Product to refine messaging, share market feedback, and drive alignment.

  • Accurately forecast and report on pipeline health, deal stages, and revenue projections.

  • Represent SND at virtual and in-person events, webinars, and demos to elevate brand visibility.

What We’re Looking For
  • 3–5+ years of SaaS sales experience, preferably in B2B or public-sector technology.

  • Proven record of exceeding quotas and delivering consistent revenue growth.

  • Deep understanding of consultative selling, pipeline management, and disciplined CRM use (HubSpot preferred).

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.

  • Comfortable working remotely while managing a high-volume, structured pipeline.

  • Authorized to work in the United States (U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder).

What You’ll Enjoy
  • Competitive compensation with commission and performance incentives.

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.

  • Generous PTO and flexible work/life balance, including parental leave.

  • Fully remote team environment with annual company retreats.

  • Ongoing opportunities for training, skill development, and career growth.
