About the Role

This is Walkingspree's primary sales role. The Account Executive owns new business for the company and works every lead generated by our marketing activities, from first contact through signed contract, and sources leads directly through existing relationships and sales outreach. You will also be the day-to-day relationship owner for our broker community and for the wellness consultants and account teams at the health insurers we partner with.

You will report to our VP of Sales & Marketing, who leads both functions and sets overall go-to-market strategy. This is a hands-on, quota-carrying role for someone who has sold in the employee benefits space, understands how brokers and carriers influence an employer's decision, and is ready to be the person the company counts on for new sales. You'll partner closely with marketing to build pipeline, identify the audiences and messages that resonate, and turn demand into qualified opportunities and revenue.
