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 (Price Intelligently), you’ll become an expert on the subscription universe across industries and use that knowledge to work through complicated and nuanced consensus sales with the market’s top brands, including Fortune 500 companies. Our tech enabled service helps C-suites solve big picture business challenges in a customized, data-driven approach.

Our base salary band for this role is $80-100k

What you'll do

  • Once our BDR team identifies qualified, prospect client opportunities, you’re responsible for taking over the conversation and relationship building to close 5 and 6 figure deals
  • Serve as an expert on our tech-enabled service, answering client questions on feasibility, methodology, cost, packaging, etc.
  • Build rapport and ask digging questions to further qualify client opportunities in the BANT framework to create executive alignment
  • Identify stakeholders (Champions, Decision-Makers, Legal, Procurement, Finance, etc.) in the client’s consensus decision-making structure and determine best practices for navigating and influencing the conversation
  • Work collaboratively with other departments across ProfitWell and external vendors to create Scopes of Work based on the client’s immediate and future needs to close the deal
  • Travel to client’s office for meetings related to closing, project kick off, etc. (5% of role)
  • Improve our sales funnel by bringing your innovative ideas to the table

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

  • Have 2+ years of experience closing complex deals
  • 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, communicating, building trust and connection
  • Have very strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Understand the basics of how to interpret data, read charts/graphs, etc.
  • Innately embodying a mindset that there’s always more to learn, being unafraid of feedback, and knowing when to ask for help
  • 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
