Inside Account Executive

The Opportunity

Many of our customers start with a single Buildout solution, but their business needs often extend far beyond that. As an Inside Account Executive, you'll help our existing customers maximize the value they receive from Buildout.

Inside Account Executives are responsible for uncovering expansion opportunities within our existing customer base, demonstrating the value of Buildout's broader platform, and guiding customers through the buying process without disrupting the renewal experience. Success requires thoughtful collaboration, disciplined account planning, and a customer-first approach.

Reporting to the VP of Sales, you'll work alongside Account Management and Customer Success in a collaborative pod model to create a seamless customer experience while driving incremental revenue growth.

How You’ll Contribute

• Drive expansion revenue in your SMB book of business by identifying opportunities to introduce additional Buildout solutions that align with customer business goals.

• Partner closely with Account Managers and Customer Success Managers to develop account strategies that strengthen customer relationships while protecting renewal success.

• Execute discovery calls and product demonstrations focused on solving customer challenges through additional products and services.

• Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders across existing accounts and position Buildout as a long-term strategic partner.

• Ensure expansion conversations complement—not compete with—the customer's renewal process.

• Maintain a healthy pipeline of expansion opportunities while accurately forecasting revenue in Salesforce.

• Become an expert in the Buildout product portfolio and recommend the right solutions based on customer objectives.

• Leverage customer usage data and business initiatives to uncover whitespace opportunities.

• Continuously improve through coaching, collaboration, and feedback.

Pod Model

• Operate as part of a dedicated customer pod alongside an Account Manager and Customer Success Manager.

• Account Managers own the renewal strategy and commercial relationship.

• Customer Success Managers own adoption, health, and customer outcomes.

• Inside AEs lead expansion sales motions, bringing product expertise and consultative selling.

• Success is measured by expansion revenue, renewal protection, customer experience, and collaboration.
