Account Executive Cheer & Dance

Deal Makers Wanted Get Paid Like the Best

If you're grinding out calls selling season tickets for a mediocre team, an ops person with a background in sales, someone working in the cheer or dance industry with a knack for selling, or working in any other job that requires people skills and a high tolerance for sales rejection, we want to talk to you.

We're especially interested in people who know the cheer and/or dance marketwhether you've sold into it, worked for a gym or studio, coached, managed operations, or built relationships throughout the industry.

We're hunting winners. Our pay is top-tier: sellers who hit quota make $160K+ OTE, plus benefits and a 401(k) match. No cap. No ceiling. Just upside.

Who We Are

At Baseline, we're building business software for sports people, and it's no small feat. At this very moment, our target user is making their weekly schedule in a Google doc, running a quarter million through their personal Venmo, and promoting their business on a Squarespace that looks like it was built a decade ago.

That includes cheer gyms and dance studios managing classes, teams, private lessons, camps, events, payments, staff, and families across a patchwork of systems.

To say we're evangelists bringing best business practices enlightenment to those who have never seen the light is not hyperbole. At Baseline, we preach that using 7 software solutions to run your business is a cardinal sin, collecting payments before providing services is common sense, automated reminder text messages are a basic courtesy, and marketing is more than hoping people tell their friends. Fortunately, we came well prepared on this pilgrimage.

• We are domain experts; our support staff has spent nothing short of decades in the industry.
• We do all our own stunts; our dev team is in-house and in the United States.
• We're venture-backed; the people who have been around the block a few times are betting on us.

Our team is battle-tested and lean. We're looking for mission-focused people eager to join us in the trenches of the early-stage startup world.

The Gig

Convincing someone to make a jump equivalent of going from Google Sheets to Salesforce is not for the faint of heart. We expect you to be quick on your feet and able to solve problems. To put it in a phrase, we're looking for a jack of all trades, master of none.

If you come from the cheer or dance world, you'll be able to speak the customer's language and understand the unique challenges of running a gym or studio. We want you to turn that industry knowledge into trust, relationships, and ultimately new Baseline customers.

At the end of the day, we're a product-led company that is always striving to achieve perfect product market fit. We believe in recursive iteration and endless refinement of the user experience. Be prepared to be user-obsessed.
