Senior Account Executive

Senior Account Executive

Kadince (pronounced cadence) is a fully remote software company founded in 2013. In a nutshell, we build tools to help compliance and marketing professionals at financial institutions do their jobs more efficiently.

There are several thousand financial institutions in the US. At Kadince, we're working to help as many of them as possible better manage and track their community involvement efforts. With around 600 clients, we've created a strong user base while still having the opportunity for growth ahead.

We want to give every financial institution in the country a chance to hear our story and see if we're a good fit for their needs—we obviously think we are. In order to keep up with our outreach goals, we need another sales professional on our team.

To be a Senior Account Executive at Kadince, you should be confident and well-spoken. You enjoy connecting with others and building relationships from the ground up. You have a lot of grit and drive, but are also humble and open to feedback.

Since this is a senior role, sales experience is required (preferably in a B2B SaaS space). You work well in fast-paced professional environments and can juggle many things (bonus points if you can juggle actual objects). You have strong writing and speaking skills. Proper grammar and spelling don't scare you (expect to write a lot of emails).

You have a desire to continually learn and improve your people skills. We love giving team members opportunities to improve their skills, whether through online courses, workshops, or learning from others.

Our vision, mission, and core values should resonate with you. That'll be crucial to your success and happiness if you join the Kadince team.

Our vision and mission aren't something we hung on the office wall and forgot about. Seriously, we don't have an office, let alone a wall to hang them on. But our vision, mission, and core values sit on the desks of each of our team members. And we discuss them regularly in our meetings. Your goals and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) will be developed to ensure you're working to help us achieve our vision and mission.

Our vision and mission are what get us up each morning. They, in addition to our core values, help us make decisions.

Vision - Setting the standard for operating a great software company.

We're big fans of author Jim Collins and his best-selling book, Good to Great (bonus points if you've read it). While there are lots of good software companies out there, we want to be one of the great ones.

The first word of our vision is also significant. To go "high school English class" on you, the present participle "setting" illustrates that we're not looking to set the standard and then be done, but that the standard is always moving and we're always chasing it. We continually stop to recognize the awesome things we've done and then look for ways to do them even better.

Mission - Building the best software for compliance and marketing professionals at financial institutions TM.

As Jim Collins taught in his Hedgehog Concept (told you we think he's great—pun intended), great companies need to determine what they can be the best at in the world and focus on that. There are so many things we could solve as a software company, but we've found what we think we can be the best in the world at and we stick to it every day.

Our Core Values

Our core values remind us who we are. They also guide us in the decisions we make. They're listed in order of importance. If we have a question when making a decision about people, for example, we look to the core value above it to make our decision.

• Integrity - We're honest with ourselves and others.
• People - We understand that people are the foundation of Kadince and we act accordingly.
• Care - We love what we do and do it consistently and intentionally to the best of our abilities.
• Remarkability - We provide remarkable experiences to all who come into contact with Kadince.
• Growth - We accept yesterday and improve today.

A day in the life of a Senior Account Executive at Kadince involves preparing for and conducting product demos, crafting personalized presentations, and developing pricing proposals. You'll also engage in team meetings, strategize territory plans, and dive into Salesforce to learn more about your accounts.

Kadince is a principle-based company, which means we focus on principles, not policies. You'll work with your leader, Brandon Checketts, each week to review your goals/KPI and what you've been working on. You'll meet regularly with the Sales team to learn, keep projects on track, and ensure that goals/KPIs are being reached.

As a Senior Account Executive, you'll also work regularly with bank and credit union professionals around the country. While we aren't super particular about when and where you work, you'll need to work around the schedules of other team members and our prospects to ensure that goals stay on track and nothing falls through the cracks. Overall, your schedule needs to help you achieve our vision and mission and demonstrate our core values.

At Kadince, work won't tie you down to one location. You'll be free to travel or relocate as you get the itch to try somewhere new. Want to spend a month abroad, working from a hotel and exploring the rest of the time? Go ahead. Just make sure that wherever you plan to work has a reliable internet connection of at least 10 Mbps download and 1-2 Mbps upload (as if you would go anywhere without it anyway).

You'll probably work with each team member in one way or another. Some of the people you'll work with most frequently are:

• Brandon is our wonderful Director of Sales. He's been with Kadince since 2018 and loves to grow his professional skills. Brandon is a self-proclaimed aviation geek. He loves to watch airplanes and learn everything he can about them.
• Morgan is one of our awesome Sales Managers/Senior Account Executives, which means she gives demos and initiates contact with new banks and credit unions around the country. Morgan has two massive dogs (one weighs 120 pounds), and she loves to explore new trails with them. Morgan loves to chase hard things and learn everything she can, which is why she picks up so many new hobbies. But one of her favorite things to do is write books.
• Jacob is a Senior Account Executive. He may be a great salesperson, but he's also a killer cook (hopefully not literally). He once received 56 stitches and set the record at his university for number of basketball games played, although not at the same time. If he could do anything, he'd travel to Brazil and see an anaconda in its natural habitat.

Since we're a remote company, we don't offer office snacks and ping pong tables. But if you're a fan of "core benefits" that bring great rewards and peace of mind, you'll like what we have to offer. Competitive pay, 401(k) matching, generous paid leave, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life, short-term disability) and a flex spending account. Yeah, it's pretty great...

And we love to spoil our team. We celebrate big events with you, like birthdays and work anniversaries, so you can expect some pretty fun gifts. We once sent some high-quality lip balm to each team member so we could all play a prank on Scott, our Director of Product. We're fun like that. And each year we give every team member the last week of the year off (we like to spread holiday cheer).

When applying to Kadince, please send us PDFs of your resume and cover letter. The cover letter is your opportunity to tell us why you would be a great fit for the position, but should be no longer than 300 words. Take advantage of this time. Seriously, sell yourself!
