About the role

Till Q3 of 2022, our sales and go-to-market function has been founder-led. Then we setup a small team of BDR & AE and were thankfully able to replicate our initial success. With that we're also expanding globally - starting with the EMEA market(one step at a time?).

We've grown 10X in the past 1 year through the efforts of the founder and small sales team we built. We initially tested out Outbound prospecting ourselves to validate if there's even a possibility to scale the efforts on this.

Our initial results from outbound prospecting have been nothing less than promising. Cold calling and are the top two channels that have shown great promising results for us. With a well-set sales engine running in the domestic market, it's now time to scale our international sales motion and we're looking to hire a smart & energetic Account Executive to convert the mid-market/enterprise SQLs brought in by our BDR team's outbound efforts and bring in the $$$. Simple, right?

What you'll do

• Tl;dr sell, sell and sell some more to get the $$$ in. But since job descriptions are supposed to be serious stuff, feel free to read on.
  • Your day-to-day would involve talking to e-commerce business owners across the international market(EMEA predominantly), understanding their problems & helping them understand how our product improves their lives.
    • You'll be responsible for taking up product demos and closing deals to get the $$ in via online and offline meetings.
      • Writing creative cold emails/ messages which truly break through the noise (we've tried some wacky stuff in the past, we take this a little overboard).
        • Playing the role of a trusted product advisor over sales demos to show customers how our product improves their lives.
          • Keeping your ears to the ground to collect customer feedback and forming a pipe for regular flow of customer insights to the product team.
            • Building the backbone for our sales process to scale for the next stage of growth.

What makes you a good fit

• Your childhood dream was to sell ice to an eskimo (brownie points if you've tried it).
  • You have 4+ years of experience doing enterprise sales at a SaaS startup with at least 1 year of experience in international B2B sales.
    • You have stories of selling stuff to people (this could even be concert tickets, sports cards or something you made).
      • You have a way with words and have a collection of the best cold emails you've seen and written.
        • You have a genuine interest in conversations with people.
