About the Role
We're seeking a dynamic Account Executive to join our rapidly growing team. You'll own a high-volume book of smaller companies that sell into the SLED market, running fast cycles from discovery to close.
What You'll Do
Drive Sales Excellence: Manage a high volume of deals with short sales cycles. You'll run more at-bats than a typical AE and win on speed and consistency.
Build Strategic Relationships: Build relationships with founders, owners, and sales leaders at smaller companies that sell to government, positioning Starbridge as the engine for their pipeline.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with our product, marketing, and customer success teams to ensure client satisfaction and inform product development.
Achieve and Exceed Targets: Consistently meet and surpass sales quotas, contributing to the company's overall success.
Why You'll Love This Role
Modern GTM Motion: Our team operates with a cutting-edge GTM approach, leveraging best-in-class tools and intent signals to punch above our weight — meaning you'll close more deals, faster, without endless cold outreach.
High-Quality Leads: Benefit from a steady stream of qualified leads, allowing you to focus on closing deals. Our AEs are currently taking 3 to 4 new calls per day.
Career Growth: Join a fast-paced startup environment with ample opportunities for professional development and advancement.
Collaborative Culture: Be part of a supportive team that values innovation, collaboration, and achieving results.
Qualifications
Proven Sales Experience: Minimum 2 years of successful experience in a closing role, preferably within B2B SaaS.
Strong Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to articulate value propositions and negotiate effectively.
Systems Thinking: Successfully building and demoing the Starbridge platform is like putting together a puzzle for your customers. No solutions engineers help here to answer the "tough" questions. The right candidate will be excited about this challenge.
Adaptability: Comfortable in a dynamic environment and able to pivot strategies as needed.
Bachelor's Degree: Required; field of study is flexible.
InterviewProcess
