We are looking to add an Account Executive (AE) to our Commercial Sales team. Reporting to the Director of Sales, you will be in a semi-full cycle role, taking discovery calls to closed won deals. You will work with a range of buyers in varying functional areas, but will primarily focus on IT, Development Operations (DevOps) and Ecommerce buyers.
 
Our AE team is supported by a Business Development team handling both inbound leads and outbound prospects. We generate a substantial amount of pipeline through our SaaS marketplace listings (Atlassian, Github, Shopify, etc.), but you will need to supplement this by generating additional opportunities to ensure you exceed quota.

Prospecting into your current customer base and deploying an outbound strategy to generate interest from net new accounts will be critical to your success. There is a massive opportunity to capitalize on specific cloud migration shifts (Jira EOL) that are currently underway in the market. We are also looking to capitalize on new eco-systems & platforms that we are entering (monday.com). For the right person, the potential to capitalize on this moment in time is limitless.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Driving net new revenue for the business

• Cross-selling newly signed customers within a defined time period after closing

• Managing the sales process from discovery through closing steps (Infosec, Legal, etc.)

• Generating interest from other key decision makers, within different functional areas of a prospect/customer’s organization, to help grow opportunities

• Collaborating with Sales Engineering to deliver best in class demos and guided testing

• Generating pipeline from both warm and cold prospecting efforts

• Keeping your deals updated daily in the CRM (Salesforce) 

• Supporting the Product team as you receive feedback from prospects to align with product strategy and direction

• Engaging our Partnerships team to support co-selling through agencies/MSPs

• Attend industry and customer events as needed

We are looking for candidates who have at least 2 years of closing experience in B2B SaaS environment as an Account Executive with demonstrated outbound prospecting experience.

You are also:

• Consistent quota achiever

• Naturally curious with excellent discovery and closing skills

• Motivated and creative - find alternative paths when barriers present themselves

• Energized by ambiguity and can create structure in a dynamic, fast-paced, environment

*Experience selling to IT/DevOps a plus, but not critical

Where You’ll Work
Our organization follows a hybrid work structure where employees work from the office three days/week. This role will be based out of our Ottawa office.
