Account Executive
Russell Tobin, Boston, MA, United States
About the Opportunity
We’re partnering with a leading Human Capital Management (HCM) software provider to hire Account Executives across multiple U.S. markets. This is a true new-business (“hunter”) role with protected, territory-based coverage and a heavy emphasis on outbound prospecting and in-person relationship building.
What You’ll Do
- Own a net-new business pipeline from first touch through close, using high-volume outbound prospecting (calls, email, field activity, events).
- Run discovery, deliver product demonstrations, and guide prospects through evaluation, pricing, and contract close.
- Build and execute a territory plan to consistently generate meetings, progress opportunities, and exceed monthly/quarterly targets.
- Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene, forecasting accuracy, and activity metrics aligned to performance expectations.
- Collaborate with internal partners (sales leadership, implementation, product, etc.) to ensure a smooth handoff and strong customer experience.
Core Requirements
- Proven track record in a 50%+ net-new business sales environment.
- Strong cold calling / outbound prospecting experience (outside sales preferred; high-activity inside sales may be considered).
Ideal Profile
- You’re gritty, competitive, and comfortable hearing “no” a lot.
- You’ve succeeded in complex, high-activity sales environments where effort + discipline drive outcomes.
- You can manage a full-cycle process and thrive with clear goals, high standards, and a performance-driven culture.
