As one of the fastest growing software companies in the nation, we’re focused on finding the best talent and building the best team to continue accelerating our rapid growth to keep up with our demand!

As a Customer Account Executive, SMB, you’ll own and grow a portfolio of existing small and midsize business customers. Working closely with your Sales Manager, you’ll develop a deep understanding of AlertMedia’s software, sales process, forecasting methodology, and internal systems.

Who you are:

You’re passionate about helping customers achieve their goals with AlertMedia. You enjoy driving revenue growth, solving meaningful problems, and collaborating across teams to move opportunities forward.

You’re a customer-focused seller who builds trust quickly and works effectively in a fast-paced environment where no two accounts are the same.

You’re energized by uncovering expansion opportunities tied to clear, measurable customer needs. You help customers recognize additional value in the software they already use while maintaining a thoughtful, consultative approach.

You’re organized, accountable, and intentional with your time. You can manage competing priorities, keep detailed records, and maintain momentum across multiple opportunities and internal partnerships.

You’re also curious about emerging technology. You use AI-powered solutions, including ChatGPT, to improve productivity, prepare for customer conversations, personalize outreach, synthesize information, and strengthen your sales strategy. You apply sound judgment, verify AI-generated information, and follow company standards for data privacy and responsible AI use.

What you get to do every day:

• Own and grow a portfolio of existing SMB customers with expansion potential.
• Partner with your Sales Manager to review pipeline, improve forecast accuracy, and develop strategies to meet or exceed quota.

• Coordinate internal stakeholders, customer follow-ups, and deal milestones to keep opportunities moving forward.
• Train new users, experienced users, and customer stakeholders on AlertMedia’s software, relevant use cases, and strategies for maximizing value.
• Use AI-powered solutions, including ChatGPT, to support account research, meeting preparation, outreach personalization, follow-up drafting, information synthesis, and workflow efficiency.
• Share effective AI prompts, workflows, and learnings with teammates to strengthen how the broader team works.
• Review and validate AI-generated content before using it in customer-facing communications or business decisions.
• Execute AlertMedia’s proven sales methodology with consistency, accuracy, and urgency.
• Maintain accurate and timely account, opportunity, activity, and forecast data.
• Continuously improve your sales approach based on coaching, performance data, customer feedback, and responsible experimentation with new technology.

What you bring to the role:

• 1 to 2 years of experience in a sales closing role, preferably within a software-as-a-service company.
• A track record of success in prospecting, pipeline management, forecasting, and closing deals.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence key stakeholders.
• The resourcefulness to navigate unclear organizational structures and identify decision-makers when titles or responsibilities overlap.
• The ability to prioritize high-velocity opportunities while progressing strategic expansion opportunities.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a personable, persistent, and proactive approach.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across multiple teams.
• Excellent organization and time management skills, including the ability to manage competing priorities, follow through on commitments, and maintain accurate records.
• Comfort with change and a willingness to contribute ideas that improve sales processes and team performance.
• Experience using Salesforce and Outreach.io is required. Experience with Gong is preferred.
• Practical experience using generative AI solutions, such as ChatGPT, to improve productivity, research, communication, or sales execution.
• Sound judgment when reviewing AI-generated information and handling customer or company data.
• A growth mindset, curiosity about new technology, and a willingness to share effective practices with teammates.
• A coachable approach and the ability to apply feedback quickly.
