Position Overview

VitalEdge is seeking a driven New Business Account Executive to expand our footprint across the heavy equipment dealership market. This is a true new business sales role focused on building pipeline, winning new customers, and driving revenue growth across a large, multi-state territory.

The Account Executive will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and initial discovery through solution development, commercial negotiation, and close. Rather than inheriting an established book of business, this individual will be responsible for creating opportunities, developing executive relationships, and building a strong presence within their territory.

Our solutions sit at the center of dealership operations, supporting critical functions across sales, service, rental, parts, and finance. The ideal candidate is a proactive hunter who can understand complex operational challenges, build a compelling business case for change, and confidently engage executive-level decision-makers.

• Build trusted relationships with Dealer Principals, GMs, CFOs, and other executive and operational stakeholders.
• Navigate complex buying organizations and effectively influence multiple stakeholders throughout the sales process.

• Partner with Solution Consulting, Product, Marketing, and other internal teams to develop and advance opportunities.
• Develop effective commercial strategies for complex, competitive sales opportunities.

• Building and maintaining a healthy, qualified pipeline.
• Winning net-new customers in competitive sales environments.
• Establishing a strong VitalEdge presence and network within the assigned territory.
• Effectively developing executive relationships and creating urgency around complex business transformation.
• Bringing meaningful customer and market insights back into the organization.

Required Qualifications

• Strong consultative selling, discovery, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to engage and influence business owners, executives, and other senior decision-makers.
• Ability to understand operational challenges and translate them into compelling business cases and solution recommendations.
• Self-directed and accountable, with the ability to effectively manage a large territory and prioritize high-value opportunities.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across internal teams.
• This is a remote position with approximately 30–40% travel.
• Preference to hire within territory: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
