Account Executive (Mid-Market)
Respondology
Respondology is seeking a high-performing Mid-Market Account Executive to help us capture new revenue growth during a pivotal stage in our company’s evolution. This is an exciting opportunity to join a mission-driven SaaS startup as we scale beyond $6M ARR into our next phase of growth.
In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, focusing on landing mid-market logos and driving net-new business. You’ll work with household-name brands as well as high-growth companies, navigating multi-threaded sales processes with confidence and urgency.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a startup environment and knows how to create new business opportunities, not just work inbound leads. You know how to uncover pain points quickly, tell a compelling story, and close deals with urgency. If you’re motivated by fast-paced growth, love the challenge of value-based selling, and want to help shape a GTM motion at an early stage, we want to talk to you.
Respondology is the AI-powered social comments company for moderating unwanted content, surfacing insights, and engaging at any scale. Typical social tools completely ignore the comment sections. We surface the ideas and sentiment that help you shape content and campaigns, while our AI-plus-human safety net discreetly hide spam, piracy, fraud, and hate on the spot.
Fast to deploy. Easy to use. Trusted by hundreds of leading brands to optimize their organic and paid social performance. At Respondology, We Leverage Technology for Good.
This is a remote position, open to candidates in the US.
