About the job

Bellwood is a custom software development company that companies turn to when they want to take a software product from conception to creation. We are seeking a Senior Sales Account Executive to drive net-new revenue. The ideal candidate is a true hunter with a proven track record of sourcing, developing, and closing new logo custom software consulting engagements. This role owns the full outbound sales cycle, from prospecting and first conversations through scoping and closing mid‑market engagements.

These companies are typically thriving businesses outside of the traditional software industry, they need to build new technology to scale their business, or want to establish new software products to complement their primary business.

This role will identify strong prospective clients and establish relationships with senior technology stakeholders and work with the Bellwood Leadership and Delivery Team to build trust and earn the business opportunity to build the software they need.

Bellwood has built a strong track record as a consulting firm that can deliver excellent software products at scale. Bellwood is an Inc 5000 and Clutch 100 ranked company that has quadrupled our team in the past 18 months. This role is a critical building block for the company to move beyond founder-led sales and fuel future growth.

• Using CRM to update, track, and maintain daily activity and all relevant contact, company, and opportunity information
• Effectively managing pipeline including accurate monthly, 90 day, and 120 day forecasts
• Coordinating with marketing about feedback on leads that are received, and informing marketing of common questions that are raised in the sales cycle to build content that helps answer those questions to generate future leads
• Performing other duties as assigned

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a proven track record of closing new logo deals and consistently meeting or exceeding quota
• Has 5+ years of quota carrying sales experience, with 3+ years of experience selling high-quality, U.S. based custom software development consulting services, ideally with a focus on developing complex software products and mobile applications

• Understands the distinct value and roles of Software Developers, UX/UI Design, and Product Management
• Is organized and methodical with strong prioritization and negotiation skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong relationship building skills with prospects, customers, and internal teams
• A coachable and curious mindset able to take feedback coupled with a strong desire to learn
