A Note, Before You Apply

This is an evergreen posting. We're continuously building a pipeline for this role rather than filling one specific opening right now. If there's a strong fit, someone from our talent team will be in touch. If not right away, we'll keep your profile in mind as new roles open.

 
About the Role

Float is looking for an exceptional Account Executive to join our growing sales team. You will play a pivotal role in driving revenue at Float as we move up market. We are looking for someone who has proven and exceptional impact driving revenue in past sales roles and is eager to employ a consultative, cooperative, and solution-oriented strategy, blending strategic insight with highly efficient execution.

 

This is a hybrid role based in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area (the regional municipalities of Durham, Halton, Peel, and York). You'll work from our Toronto office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

 
As an Account Executive you will:
  • Use a consultative sales approach to guide customers through the sales process, from initial contact to close. Focus on adding value and providing strategic advice rather than just selling products or services.

  • Acquire and form relationships with new customers in the mid-market range with 20–500+ employees.

  • You'll pursue both individual and team sales goals and consistently hit your monthly targets.

  • Prioritize and maintain pipelines while owning the sales cycle from start to finish — from discovery to demo to negotiation to close.

  • Approach all deals with a customer-obsessed mentality. Develop relationships and uncover the needs of multiple key stakeholders to find value moments.

  • Be the voice of the customer and work closely with our Marketing, Product, and Customer Success teams to ensure a cohesive and integrated customer experience. Provide feedback from the market to drive product innovation and improvement.

  • Share your ideas and help us build a world class Sales team!

  • Work with the Finance teams of some of the fastest growing companies in Canada across a variety of industries.

 
You'll be great in this role if:
  • You've got the experience. To be successful in this role, we're looking for 2–4 years of B2B tech-sales experience, ideally in a high-growth start up environment.

  • You've got an understanding of the market. You've worked with accounting/finance related products, or have worked closely with finance leaders. You're commercially minded, business savvy and no stranger to an ROI mindset.

  • You're results-driven. You have a reputation for exceeding your goals and sales targets, and are motivated by new challenges. You're willing to make tough decisions to achieve broader business goals and outcomes.

  • You're an outstanding communicator. You know how to cater your communication to your audience to gain buy-in, and build commitment with customers. When pitching ideas, you are confident, clear, and organized in your delivery. You have impeccable writing and speaking skills, and can effortlessly connect with any team in an organization.

  • You're empathetic and approachable. You quickly build rapport and credibility with prospective customers, and people are naturally drawn to you. You are a skilled listener who is able to understand and synthesize diverse perspectives and opinions. You're customer obsessed; translating customer needs into product offerings is your speciality.

  • You're adaptable and resilient. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, move quickly, and know how to pivot when faced with objections. Finding creative ways to problem solve and work through obstacles is fun for you. You also know when to slow down and be strategic and thoughtful.

  • You're an owner. You set a high bar for yourself and others, and enjoy fostering a culture of excellence and tenacity. You're eager to roll-up your sleeves to get building and create immediate impact.

  • Nice to Have:

    • You're bilingual. You're fluent in both French and English — written and spoken — and can move effortlessly between the two with customers and colleagues across Canada.

 
This role won't be a fit if:
  • You're not driven by the vision of building Canada's top business finance platform

  • You prefer predictable routines over the dynamic, independent nature of startup culture

  • You aren't comfortable working independently, remotely, or asynchronously

  • You aren't a team player

  • Resilience and openness to direct feedback aren't your strengths

  • You aren't comfortable taking calculated risks

  • You have an ego

Our Hiring Philosophy

We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and every hire is expected to raise the bar for Float as a whole.

  • Work at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintech companies

  • Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role

  • Collaborate with an ambitious and supportive team

  • Competitive compensation, equity options, and benefits

  • Enjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

  • Bring your pup to our dog-friendly office

  • Thrive in a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work truly matters

At Float, you’ll thrive if you’re bold, curious, and eager to make a real impact. We're building something special—and having a lot of fun along the way. If you’re excited to build, grow, and win together, we’d love to meet you.
