We’re excited to hire someone based in San Francisco, where we’re looking to grow our sales presence.
About The RoleOur team is still early in its evolution, operating with a start-up mindset within a scaling company. We're building stronger processes, a clearer operating model, and the foundation for our next stage of growth. We’re looking for someone who wants to help create that future—not just operate within it.
As a Senior Account Executive reporting directly to the Head of Sales, you’ll be a key driver of our outbound engine. You’re a strategic seller who owns the full cycle, thrives on proactive outreach, and isn’t phased by cold calls or pipeline creation. You combine discipline with initiative, independence with collaboration, and urgency with long-term relationship-building.
Your territory spans Mid-Market and Enterprise customers, blending short-cycle and long-cycle opportunities. But make no mistake: outbound is the heartbeat of this role.
Things you will do:
- Outreach + engagement: contact leads via email, cold calls, conferences, and more. Manage inbound and referral leads.
- Lead gen + prospecting: research potential customers, generate leads, and build a consistent outbound sales pipeline. Attend industry events and develop connections to drive future sales growth.
- Qualification + closing: run discovery calls, demos, and follow-ups to qualify and close new customers. Build proposals and RoI cases that convince qualified prospects to buy Listen. Negotiate contract terms when needed.
- Process improvement: improve our internal sales processes (slides, call scripts, meeting templates, contract terms, CRM workflows, metrics, dashboards, etc.). Run weekly “Sales Review” meetings company-wide to review deals and answer questions.
- Cross-team work: work with Customer Success, Engineering, and Product to consistently delight customers. Work with our co-founding team on all things sales and revenue-related.
What you already bring to the table:
- 5–8+ years of quota-carrying closing experience in B2B SaaS
- Experience selling into enterprise or upper mid-market accounts
- Proven ability to run consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Track record of closing meaningful deals ($50K–$250K+) and expanding accounts
- Strong discovery and storytelling skills
- Comfortable balancing inbound + outbound pipeline generation
- Highly organized and proactive in managing deals end-to-end
We also want to ensure equitable pay across the team and alignment with market data — but let us handle those details. We’re committed to clarity and honesty, so feel free to ask us anything along the way.
