Role Intent

We're filling an internal role, and we're looking to hire an Account Executive to turninbound interest into signed clients.

Our current AEs are slammed. Demand is high. We need more closers.

Before you apply, we expect you to be charming because your job will be to charm our clients into being charmed.

We sell:

• Offshore staffing

• Software

• AI-enabled services

Most leads come to us already interested.

Your job is totalk to them about their business, diagnose what they actually need, and close the deal.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Sales

• Marketing knowledge

• Business strategy

You will speak with CEOs, founders, and operators of growing companies and help them decide:

• Whether they should hire at all

• What roles they actually need

• How our products can help them grow

Your job is to make smart companies feelsafe, excited, and confident about working with us — and then get them to sign.

You report to the Sales Manager and work closely with the CEO and senior sales leadership.

You are evaluated onrevenue generated, not activity completed.

This Is Not a Typical Sales Role

You willnot:

• Cold call

• Build lead lists

• Run outbound campaigns

You will:

• Think

• Ask smart questions

• Advise

• Challenge clients when they’re wrong

• Close deals

This isconsultative selling, not order-taking.

Who You Talk To All Day

Your buyers are typically:

• CEOs

• Founders

• Heads of Marketing

• Heads of Sales

• Operators at companies with 20–200 employees

They come to us because:

• They’re growing

• They’re overwhelmed

• They know they need help

• They don’t know exactly what to do next

You help them figure that out.

What You Own

You own the journey from:

First call → Signed engagement letter

You are responsible for:

• Running discovery calls

• Guiding hiring strategy conversations

• Handling objections and concerns

• Diagnose what role they actually need (often different from what they think)

Clients come in asking for a Social Media Manager.

You may convince them they need a Paid Ads Manager, Lifecycle Marketer, Sales Rep, or Project Manager instead.

You are expected towin those debates.

Consultative Selling & Hiring Strategy

You will regularly discuss roles such as:

• Media Buyers / Paid Ads Managers

• Marketing Managers / Growth Marketers

• Lifecycle / Email Marketers

• Sales Reps / Appointment Setters

• Project Managers

• Shopify Developers and more

You don’t need to do these jobs — but you must understand:

• When companies need them

• How they drive revenue

We will quiz you on this.
