ABOUT THE JOB:
ReadyKey is seeking a confident, driven Account Executive to join our team. This individual will define and develop our sales process to solution best-in-class, customized mobile applications technology to EHS, compliance, and manufacturing teams. Our technology is in the hands of millions of people each year, and you will be the key driver of revenue growth for the company.


ABOUT YOU:
As an Account Executive, you are on the front lines for evangelizing our product and brand to customers. It is vital that you have clear, succinct communications skills - and a proven track record of performance in a previous quota-carrying sales role. Preferably you will have demonstrable experience managing 6-figure sales volumes through typical SaaS or PaaS sales cycles. You should have previous experience selling high in an organization and are nervous about selling to just one influencer. Previous experience winning net new business is essential. You should be creative and have proven you can increase the average order value through multiple methods.
You will bring prior EHS or Compliance experience into the business, and work alongside ambitious colleagues in a small team. This is a chance to work alongside driven sales leaders to help shape our sales strategy in this next phase of our growth. With our flexible and world-class product, the opportunity is large and the fields are green. Ultimately, we need Account Executives who will take initiative, learn our product quickly and thoroughly, and bring a positive attitude to work each day.
You are motivated by not only closing deals and meeting metrics, but also by the opportunity to grow a mid-stage startup and disruptive force within the EHS profession. Driven by solving client problems through the combination of subject matter expertise and world-class solutions, you seek to enable not only your success, but that of those around you. As a key individual contributor supporting the larger goals of the organization, you find satisfaction in terms of salary and commission, but also seek the opportunity to build equity based on performance.
Key competencies for this role include Salesforce.com CRM experience, and Outreach.io (or another sales automation tool) - and importantly the ability and humility to use these tools to their full potential.
