• Maintain accurate pipeline reporting and forecasts; consistently meet or exceed targets
• Capture customer insights to inform product roadmap and GTM experimentation
• Represent our partner at select industry events; occasional travel as needed

Requirements

• 1+ years of closing experience as an Account Executive in B2B SaaS or tech-enabled solutions (or equivalent high-impact sales experience)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to sell credibly to senior finance stakeholders
• Ownership mindset: organized, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, and biased toward action
• Familiarity with mid-market sales motions and modern sales tools/CRMs

Nice to Have:

• Experience selling to finance or accounting buyers (e.g., expense management, corporate cards, payroll, ERP, FP&A tools)
• Background in finance, accounting, or economics
