Account Executive
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 $5M 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. Top-of-funnel generation is critical to this role—we need someone who knows how to build pipeline from scratch, not just work inbound leads. You'll work with household-name brands as well as high-growth companies, navigating multi-threaded sales processes with confidence and urgency.
If you started your career as an SDR and progressed into a closing role, you're exactly who we're looking for. We're seeking someone who thrives in a startup environment and knows how to create new business opportunities through proactive outbound. 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.
