Join an Award-Winning Employer

Catapult is a trusted partner to employers across North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond. Through expert guidance, practical resources, professional services, workforce intelligence, and a powerful employer community, we help organizations solve complex business and workforce challenges.

Recognized as a 2026 Best Employer in North Carolina , Catapult is built on a culture of Innovation, Integrity, Community, Excellence, and Service. We are passionate about helping employers thrive while creating an exceptional workplace for our own team.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact sales role for an experienced relationship builder who excels at developing executive-level partnerships and uncovering opportunities for growth.

Unlike many sales positions, you won't be starting from scratch. You'll inherit a portfolio of established strategic accounts and be responsible for expanding those relationships while identifying new opportunities across the Carolinas and beyond.

We are looking for a consultative salesperson who is equally comfortable discussing workforce challenges with HR leaders, organizational strategy with executives, and business outcomes with finance and operational stakeholders.

You'll be supported by a respected brand, experienced subject matter experts, marketing resources, and lead-generation programs, but you'll also have the autonomy and drive to create new opportunities on your own.

• Own the growth, retention, and overall health of an assigned portfolio of high-value accounts
• Develop account plans that identify growth opportunities, relationship gaps, and potential risks
• Lead strategic account reviews and provide recommendations aligned with client priorities
• Expand relationships beyond a single contact to create deeper organizational partnerships
• Drive renewals and pursue long-term agreements where appropriate

Drive New Revenue

• Convert one-time projects into broader, long-term partnerships

Build Executive-Level Relationships

• Work closely with Marketing and internal resources on account-based growth strategies
• Maintain accurate activity, pipeline, and account information within Salesforce
• Share client and market insights that help strengthen Catapult's services and sales strategy

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

• $100,000 base salary
