Entry-Level Account Executive

NextUp Talent · Houston, TX, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Not all sales roles are just about selling products. Some are about building support for causes that genuinely change lives.

Next Up Talent is expanding its Houston team and seeking an Entry-Level Account Executive to support live fundraising and awareness campaigns for nationally recognised charitable organisations focused on community development, access to clean water, education equity, and global relief initiatives.

This is a face-to-face role where communication, confidence, and consistency matter.

What This Role Actually Involves
You won’t be sitting behind a desk. You won’t be reading from a script.

Instead, you’ll be positioned at high-footfall retail locations and organised community event sites across Houston, representing carefully structured fundraising campaigns.

On a typical day, you will:

Set up a branded campaign space designed to attract interest and start conversations

Speak with members of the public about specific humanitarian initiatives — explaining where funds go, how impact is measured, and why recurring support matters

Break down complex global challenges into clear, relatable conversations

Guide interested supporters through secure sign-up processes

Track daily performance metrics and refine your communication approach based on feedback

Work closely with a small team to improve engagement rates and campaign consistency

This is structured customer acquisition, but for social impact organisations rather than commercial brands.

Who This Suits

Graduates looking for a fast-paced, performance-based environment

Hospitality professionals who thrive in people-facing roles

Competitive, sports-minded individuals

Anyone seeking a structured progression into leadership

What You’ll Gain

Daily communication coaching

Public speaking confidence

Clear performance targets and progression milestones

Exposure to campaign management and team development

A high-energy, team-oriented environment

Interview Process:

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 2–3 business days. The first stage is a brief introductory Zoom call, followed by an in-person meeting in Houston for successful applicants.
