Account Executive

Yardstik

Yardstik Account Executive

For decades, legacy background screening providers have raised prices using outdated technology while delivering sub-par support to match. Customers deserve better.

So, we started Yardstik.

Yardstik is building the Human Trust Platform - technology designed to help organizations continuously verify identity, credentials, and risk before and after hire. In a world where AI has made it easier than ever to fake identities, forge credentials, and exploit hiring systems, point-in-time background checks no longer cut it.

Our approach focuses on transparent partnerships and transformative technology to help customers run fewer unnecessary checks while meaningfully saving time, money, and their sanity.

Founded in 2020 in Minneapolis, Yardstik has been named a Best Place to Work every year since launch.

Why You

For the self-starters, go-getters, and boundary-pushers. Sound like you?

Yardstik is where drive meets innovation. We're on a mission to reduce people-related risk — and that's no small feat. We're looking for team members who:

  • Relentlessly take initiative to find solutions
  • Bring contagious energy that makes work feel like a shared mission
  • Adapt to change not just as a necessity, but as a competitive advantage
  • Turn "good enough" into "let's take it to the next level"
  • Break silos through strong collaboration
  • Challenge respectfully and welcome being challenged
  • Inspire others with a determined growth mindset

And ultimately, people who align with our core values: Measurably Better, Think Big, Earn Trust, Take Action, and Love the Journey. These values define how we work today — and who we want to become next.

The Role

The Account Executive is responsible for building pipeline and closing business within our Mid-Market segment. As a Yardstik AE, you're a skilled, consultative salesperson who excels at engaging senior business leaders, including CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and CTOs.

You're comfortable navigating complex sales cycles and see ambiguity as opportunity. This is a chance to be part of an early, core sales team at a fast-growing company redefining workforce trust.

If you bring an entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to win customers the right way, you'll love this role.

What You'll Do
  • Lead the sales cycle end-to-end, from prospecting through close
  • Build and manage your own pipeline of new opportunities
  • Collaborate and negotiate with C-suite executives
  • Work cross-functionally to solve customer problems
  • Partner with Product to share market insights and customer feedback
  • Maintain accurate CRM data, forecasts, and deal plans
  • Consistently achieve and exceed quarterly quota targets
Why It's Worth It

You spend a third of your life at work. Let's make it worthwhile.

At Yardstik, you'll get:

  • The opportunity to help shape a category, not just sell a product
  • Startup speed with real ownership and impact
  • A close-knit, driven, and supportive team
  • Room to grow as the company scales
  • A culture that values results, trust, and momentum

We're growing. We're motivated. We're excited about what's ahead — and we need the right people to help us get there.

Yardstik is waiting for you.
