About the Role

The Account Executive Player Coach is a hybrid individual contributor and team leadership role at the heart of AmTrav’s North America SMB Sales organization. You'll carry your own revenue number while coaching, developing and line-managing a small team of Account Executives — setting the bar for what great looks like every single day.

This role is built for someone who loves to sell AND loves to make others better at selling. You'll work closely with Senior Sales Management to drive regional strategy, and you'll be the kind of leader people turn to when they need guidance — whether their manager is in the room or not.

What You’ll Do

Individual Contribution

• Own your IC Premium Signed target (set at 50%), building and managing your own pipeline through outbound activity and closing net-new deals.

• Use AI-powered tools (prospecting, call intelligence, pipeline forecasting) to sharpen your own performance — and set the example for your team.

Team Leadership & Coaching

• Line-manage a team of 3–5 Account Executives, acting as their primary coach and day-to-day leader.

• Conduct weekly 1:1s focused on performance, pipeline health and individual development.

• Support onboarding of new Account Executives and run training sessions as needed.

• Coordinate with Senior Sales Management to drive regional plans and strategy forward.

Performance & Development

• Review individual and team performance, surfacing clear insights to Senior Sales Management.

• Identify training gaps and set monthly development objectives for each Account Executive on your team.

• Co-develop sales enablement materials alongside Senior Sales Management — presentations, playbooks, product update resources.

• Design engaging training programs using gamification, role-play, and pitch simulation.

• Continuously improve training approaches to meet the demands of different accounts and segments.

• Integrate AI tools into team training and coaching workflows — help your team understand when AI accelerates their work and when human judgment leads.

• Stay sharp on the competitive landscape and North American market trends, bringing relevant intelligence back to the team.

• You are an existing SSE or ENT AE at AmTrav, and an AE with 2 quarters of blended 100% achievement and a minimum of 1 year in your current role.

• 4–6 years of active B2B sales experience, ideally in SaaS or travel tech. (Desirable)

• Experience in the North American corporate travel industry or travel management space. (Desirable)

• Proven track record of managing complex deals across multiple segments.

• Experience with coaching, role-play facilitation, or sales training — formal or informal.

• Excellent communication skills — you can motivate a room and write a compelling email with equal ease.

• Creative, solutions-focused mindset with strong organisational skills.

• Hands-on experience building training materials: decks, videos, enablement resources.

• Broaden your horizons with up to 20 "Work from Anywhere" days per year

• Follow your passions and take a four-week, fully paid sabbatical once you reach 5 years

• Let us help you move to one of our hubs with relocation support

AI Fluency (ensure you add this in all your job ads)

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled, so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.

We don't expect you to be an AI expert, but we do expect you to be curious and intentional about it. The bar is judgment: knowing when AI makes your work better, when to verify what it produces, and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

We'll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it. That reflects how we work every day.

Compensation: Compensation for this role is a combination of salary, commissions, and stock options. The base salary range is $100,000 - $118,000 and the on-target variable will be based on a percentage of revenue of the deals. The commission structure will be tied to achieving revenue & retention targets.

How We Work

We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.
