Job Description
Viridian Staffing’s Client is looking for an experienced Account Executive to join a fast-growing company in New York City. This is an on-site role, and candidates must be based in or willing to work in the New York City area.

Founded in 2013, Viridian Staffing is the original staffing, recruiting, and HR consulting firm solely dedicated to organizations in and supporting high-growth, regulated, and emerging industries.

As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for managing the full sales cycle, developing new business opportunities, building relationships with prospective customers, and helping drive revenue growth.

You should have experience prospecting, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, and closing business-to-business sales opportunities. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, highly organized, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, and able to speak confidently about prior sales performance, quota attainment, and customer relationships. Prior experience in a start-up, founder-led, high-growth, heavily regulated or emerging-market environment is strongly preferred, especially if you have helped take a company, territory, product, or business line from early traction to consistent revenue generation.

Represent the company professionally in meetings, calls, events, and other customer-facing settings

Requirements

3+ years of business-to-business sales experience

Experience in a full-cycle Account Executive or similar revenue-generating role

Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales goals

Prior experience in a start-up, founder-led, high-growth, heavily regulated or emerging-market company strongly preferred

Experience helping build a territory, new market, customer base, or revenue function from an early stage is a plus

Proven prospecting, discovery, presentation, and negotiation skills

Comfortable selling to business owners, executives, and senior stakeholders

Ability to manage multiple opportunities and customer conversations at the same time

Solid written and verbal communication skills

Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable in a fast-changing environment
