About Knowledge Coop
Knowledge Coop has been a trusted education and compliance partner to the mortgage industry for more than 22 years. We are expanding into a workforce enablement platform that helps organizations centralize onboarding, training, communication, operational knowledge, SOPs, compliance, and AI-powered knowledge retrieval. Mortgage remains our strongest market, and we are also expanding into adjacent industries where operational consistency and employee performance are critical.
About the Role
We are hiring a full-cycle Account Executive to generate pipeline, close new business, and help shape our go-to-market motion as we continue to grow.
This is a builder role. You will own the full sales cycle from outbound prospecting through close, with a focus on new logo acquisition. You should enjoy self-sourcing pipeline, learning from the market, running consultative discovery, delivering demos, and helping improve how we sell.
This role is best suited for someone who wants ownership and impact in a growing company. It is not the best fit for someone looking for a fully mature sales organization with SDR support, large inbound lead volume, or established enterprise sales playbooks.
Most prospecting, discovery, demos, and customer interactions are conducted virtually through phone, email, and video meetings. Occasional travel for industry conferences, customer meetings, and company events may be required.
What You'll Do
Generate qualified pipeline through outbound prospecting, referrals, account research, and proactive outreach
Run discovery conversations that uncover operational challenges, onboarding gaps, communication breakdowns, compliance risks, and workforce enablement needs
Deliver tailored demos connected to business outcomes
Manage opportunities through proposal, pricing, negotiation, procurement, and close
Maintain accurate CRM data, pipeline stages, next steps, and forecasts
Partner with Customer Success on qualified expansion opportunities
Share market feedback that helps improve messaging, positioning, demos, pricing, packaging, and sales process
Qualifications
3+ years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience
Demonstrated success in a closing role with quota attainment
Proven ability to generate self-sourced pipeline without relying on SDR support or high inbound lead volume
Strong consultative discovery and demo skills
Experience selling into SMB or mid-market organizations
Strong CRM discipline and forecasting accuracy
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Comfortable operating in an environment where process, messaging, and playbooks are still evolving
Curious, coachable, accountable, and motivated by ownership
Preferred Experience
Helpful but not required: experience selling into mortgage, banking, credit unions, financial services, regulated industries, HR technology, compliance technology, workforce enablement, training, knowledge management, operational efficiency solutions, or startup/growth-stage environments.
Growth Opportunity
This is a foundational sales role with meaningful visibility and impact. As Knowledge Coop grows, potential paths may include Senior Account Executive, Strategic Account Executive, Team Leadership, or Sales Management.
Equal Opportunity Statement
Knowledge Coop is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
