Description
About the job

At Thryv, we are a team that lives by teamwork. However, it’s not the work that drives us, it’s the respect, trust, and care for each other that defines us as a team. We’re a diverse community of trendsetters who do our best work in a fun, relaxed environment. Technology never stops evolving and neither do we. We’re always looking for the best and brightest team players to join us.

About the Position

Are you an ambitious outbound seller with 1–2 years of experience and a passion for software sales? Ready to accelerate your career into full cycle account management and close deals—not just source them for other sales reps who share your commission?

This 6 month Software Sales Acceleration Program is designed to fast track high potential talent into our Software Account Management (SAM) organization.

This is a temporary program role with full benefits and a clear outcome at the end of six months:

Top performers will advance directly into a Software Account Representative (SAR) role

Exceptional performers may be considered for Sr Software Account Representative (Sr SAR) placement

Those who do not meet performance expectations may conclude participation at the end of the program

If you want a true pathway into Software Account Management, you will want to take a close look at this role.

Own outbound prospecting, targeted outreach, and pipeline generation

Qualify opportunities and create momentum for SAM sales cycles

Deliver compelling messaging to SMB and mid-market prospects

Execute structured call, email, and LinkedIn cadences

Collaborate with SAM leaders and sales partners to refine conversion strategies

Strengthen your SaaS sales acumen through ongoing coaching, training and immersion in our platform

2+ years of related experience, preferred.

Confidence communicating with decision makers via phone, email, and social

Desire to learn full cycle sales and move into a closing role

Comfort with structured goals, metrics, and performance accountability

A growth mindset and coachability

Ability to travel less than 5% of the time.

Must be 18 years of age or older.

Must successfully complete pre‑employment screening process, as required.

Must successfully complete any required training or orientation courses, as needed.

What’s in It for You

This role is intentionally designed as a launchpad into Software Account Management, offering:

A 6‑month accelerated program focused on outbound software selling

Competitive compensation package with performance‑based incentives

Hands‑on exposure to our SAM teams and full sales cycle

Real opportunity to move into SAR or Sr SAR based on performance following 6‑months’ performance

Skill‑building that positions you for long‑term career growth in software sales

This isn’t just another outbound role—it’s a career advancement program.

Program Outcomes

At the end of the 6‑month program:

Non‑performers → Program completion without transition

es a fair, performance‑based path and allows you to take ownership of your growth which doesn’t end with the Sr SAR role:

SAM Family

Sr Software Account Executive “Sr SAE”
