Account Executive

About Certus:


Certus is a leading provider of workforce training and compliance solutions, helping companies across North America build safer, more capable teams. Through our family of specialized brands - including TPC Training, a Certus company - we deliver expert-led instruction across industrial, technical, safety, and regulatory disciplines.

We're expanding our sales team and looking for a seasoned Account Executive who knows how to open doors, build trust with senior stakeholders, and close complex B2B deals. If you thrive in a consultative selling environment and want to make a real impact at a growing company - we want to hear from you.

Overview:
As an Account Executive at Certus, you'll own the full sales cycle - from strategic prospecting to closing. You'll apply a consultative, value-based approach to win new corporate clients and expand existing relationships, helping organizations understand how our training solutions solve real workforce challenges. This is a high-impact role for someone who knows how to build a pipeline, navigate complex organizations, and consistently hit their number.

What You'll Do:

Prospect & Build Pipeline
• Identify and prioritize target corporate accounts through research, cold outreach, and networking.
• Proactively generate new business opportunities to maintain a healthy, active sales funnel.
• Work with Open Seminar customers to grow relationships and secure block purchases.

Sell Consultatively
• Develop a deep understanding of each client's business, industry, and challenges - then position Certus solutions that genuinely help.
• Deliver compelling product demonstrations and value proposition presentations to decision-makers, including senior leadership.
• Identify opportunities to cross-sell additional Certus products to expand client relationships.

Manage Your Business
• Own the full sales cycle from first contact to signed contract.
• Keep CRM records (Salesforce) accurate and up to date with notes, activity, and pipeline status.
• Provide accurate sales forecasts and contribute to team planning.
• Conduct client meetings and product demos via online meeting platforms.

What We're Looking For:


You bring a track record of B2B sales success and the instincts to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals:
• 3+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally in corporate training, SaaS, or professional services.
• Demonstrated ability to consistently meet or exceed quota in a full-cycle sales role.
• Skilled at engaging and influencing executive-level decision-makers and multiple buying constituencies.
• A consultative seller - you lead with insight, build trust, and position solutions around client outcomes.
• Strong pipeline discipline: you forecast accurately, move deals forward, and keep your CRM airtight.
• Excellent communication skills - you're as comfortable presenting to a VP as you are writing a follow-up email.
• Proficiency with Salesforce and Microsoft Office; experience with virtual selling platforms a plus.

What Success Looks Like:

In this role, you'll be measured on outcomes that matter:

1. Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue quotas.
2. Maintain a pipeline that's healthy in both volume and quality.
3. Become a trusted resource for clients by deeply understanding Certus's products and how they create real value.

Why Certus?
• Be part of a mission-driven company that genuinely improves workforce safety and capability.
• Join a high-performing sales team with a clear growth path and strong leadership support.
• Sell a product you can believe in - training solutions with a proven track record.
• Competitive compensation with performance-based earning potential.

This is a fully remote position with a strong preference for candidates in the eastern or central time zone.

Base pay will be between $50,000 - $55,000 and monthly commissions will be around $2,000/month.
