To help fuel that growth, they are looking for an Associate Account Executive to join their Austin, Texas sales team.Position OverviewThis is a rare opportunity for an early career professional to build a sales career at the ground floor of a category defining company. As an Associate Account Executive, you will be trained directly by leadership on a proven sales motion targeting upper mid market and lower enterprise accounts, giving you a foundation that most entry level roles cannot offer. You will have direct visibility with the founders, who are actively building out the Austin office and investing in the people who join early. Your work will center on bringing in new business and expanding existing accounts, meaning your results will be visible and will directly shape the trajectory of the company as it scales.
