About the Role
As a SMB Account Executive in Zeller’s Sales team, we’ll challenge you to bring an inquisitive and hands-on approach, persistence, and self-starter attitude to help us win the market of Australian SMEs.
Being a Zeller Account Executive is not about hard selling. We believe that building a strong and lasting relationship with a business owner is the key to success. Our merchants come in all shapes and sizes — from family-run businesses, to multi-location chains, to large-scale events, and more. Every day will be different, and you'll thrive on going above-and-beyond to support a variety of merchants, by being a champion for their needs and a supporter of their business.
The SMB Account Executive role is an entry-level position to the Zeller Sales team. Your responsibilities will extend across both qualifying inbound leads to pass to Account Executives within our team, as well as building and owning your own pipeline of SMB deals that you will qualify, nurture, negotiate and close. This hybrid role is ideal for a motivated and ambitious BDR who is looking for the next step in their career with one of Australia's most exciting fintechs.
To be successful in this role you must understand the diverse business needs of our merchants, and be able to effectively use a single conversation to identify their pain points and position Zeller as the perfect fit. You will be fast on your feet, and use your grit and resilience to handle objections like a pro. You’ll become an expert in everything from payments to technology, and use your deep understanding of how Zeller's platform is the best solution for growing Australian business owners.

- Translate complex merchant business banking and merchant services requirements into a succinct, simple and beautiful solution.
- Deliver an outstanding first impression for Zeller’s merchants by using storytelling, case studies, pitch decks and industry news to inspire them about how we are the right business banking partner for them.
- Develop commercially sound deals across a wide variety of customer use cases, verticals, and complex economics.
- Stay up-to-date with SME, technology, fintech, payments, competitor and industry trends that are relevant to your merchants.
- Collaborate with your Zeller team members across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product and Operations to relay customer feedback.

- Proficient and demonstrable experience in qualification, identifying target customers, evaluating buyer interest, recognising decision-making processes and buying signals.
- You're self motivated, and feel comfortable working independently or at a distance from your team on the odd occasion.
- A developing commercial mindset that understands the economics of a deal, and what good or bad commercial terms look like.
- Excellent written, verbal, conversational and listening skills — you're genuinely curious and love chatting with strangers.
- Experience with software including Hubspot Sales Hub, Google Suite and Excel.
- Strong interpersonal skills, and a highly collaborative work style.
- You're persistent in the face of new challenges, and don't shy away from a tough discussion.

The Company
What We Do
Accepting payments, managing your finances, and paying recipients should be simple. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Finding integrated financial solutions to help your business thrive often requires you to weave together multiple products from different providers. While a small group of large enterprises enjoy the privilege of financial solutions tailored for their specific needs, the vast majority of Australian businesses are underserved due to a lack of innovation, disparate providers, opaque pricing, and restrictive contracts. We believe in a level playing field where all businesses benefit from access to smarter payments technology and integrated financial services that enables them to accelerate their cash flow. So we’re hard at work building the tools to make it happen. Zeller is one solution for all of your business finances. From EFTPOS payments to online invoicing, accounts and cards, it's everything you expect from a business bank, but better.
