Account Executive
Remote-first
Fully flexible hours
Job Description
What do we do?
Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers, taking away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.
In May 2022, we joined forces with ProfitWell. ProfitWell provides BI solutions that improve retention and monetization automatically through unmatched subscription intelligence. As one team and one platform, we offer the "done for you" approach to SaaS payments, billing, and growth.
We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.
The Role
As an Account Executive (Retain Strategist) selling our suite of SaaS products, you’ll become an expert on the subscription universe across industries and use that knowledge to work through transactional sales cycles with the market’s top brands, including Fortune 500 companies.
What you'll do
• Once our BDR team identifies qualified, prospect client opportunities, you’re responsible for taking over the conversation and relationship building. This position will support our Retain product • Serve as an expert on our suite of SaaS products, answering client questions on churn, retention, and revenue recognition • Build rapport and ask digging questions to further qualify client opportunities and establish executive alignment • Identify stakeholders (Champions, Decision-Makers, Legal, Procurement, Finance, etc.) and determine best practices for navigating and influencing the conversation • Work collaboratively with other departments across Paddle to ensure product and client alignment • Improve our sales funnel by bringing your innovative ideas to the table
We'd love to hear from you if you are:
• Have a background in Tech and/or SaaS sales with 1+ years' of experience closing deals. Net new closing preferred • Are in a role that requires you to know when and how to close, to develop and execute on a joint execution plan, and to create urgency where there may not be urgency organically • Bring prior experience selling to C-suite, VC, or other stakeholder executives at a company, building trust and connection • Have very strong communication skills, both written and verbal • Innately embody a mindset that there’s always more to learn, being unafraid of feedback, and knowing when to ask for help. You feel comfortable in a coaching and mentoring environment. • Are comfortable working in the gray rather than the black and white, and are excited to work autonomously, proactively asking for guidance when needed, and being a self-starter
