If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Who You Are

Are you a proven closer with a history of excelling in the PEO sales landscape? Do you thrive on a relentless pursuit of new business and come equipped with a network of relationships that can be leveraged immediately? Justworks is looking for a Senior Account Executive who isn't just looking for a job - they're looking to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact. This role is for a seasoned professional who understands the modern SaaS sales cycle and has a deep, innate knowledge of the PEO space, likely coming from a competitor. This isn't a ramp-up role; this is a "slide in and close" opportunity.

Your Mission

Your primary mission is to expand our user base and drive significant growth. You'll be the face of Justworks, building trust with business owners and evangelizing our product suite in the small business world. Your success is measured by your ability to manage your own book of business, build and manage a complete end-to-end sales pipeline, and consistently exceed your quotas.

What You Will Work On

• Own the Pipeline: From prospecting to close, you'll manage all activities required to win.

• Hunt for New Business: Proactively prospect for new business through market research, sales tools, and cold outreach.

• Leverage Your Network: Build and nurture relationships with channel partners, especially brokers. We're looking for someone who can leverage a pre-existing rolodex of relationships to generate leads in addition to traditional cold methods.

• Be a PEO Expert: You will be an ambassador for Justworks and its solutions, gaining an intimate and comprehensive knowledge of our product suite to effectively communicate its value proposition to potential customers.

• Advocate for the Customer: Be the voice of our future customers, suggesting innovative ideas to improve the customer experience and advocating for product development internally.

• Detail-oriented - exercises extreme attention to detail; is thorough, accurate, organized, and productive and seeks to understand both the cause and effect of a situation.

• Foundational sales knowledge - the specific set of sales skills (prospecting, cold calling, nurturing, engaging, presenting, negotiating, closing etc) and knowledge (product, markets, trends, business etc) a salesperson possesses to enact the exchange of value between a buyer and the vendor.

• Results-driven - consistently achieves results, even under difficult circumstances.

• Grit - You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You’re committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude.
