Account Executive, SMB Emerging
The Job
Data loss can be devastating. Whether it’s caused by human error, bad code, rogue integrations, or malicious intent, all companies are at risk. OwnBackup is the #1 data backup, archiving, and sandbox seeding app on the Salesforce AppExchange. With over 3,000 customers, we are ranked #25 on Financial Times’ list of America’s fastest growing companies, and have raised $267.5 million in funding from Salesforce Ventures and others.
As OwnBackup continues to scale into the next phase of growth, we are looking for eager SMB Account Executives to not only hunt for net new business, but to also grow their careers as sales professionals for years to come. In this quota carrying role, you will hunt for brand new prospects and ultimately convert them into paying customers. A small percent will be “inbound generated”, but mostly focused on “outbound prospecting”and “whitespacing” your territory. You will be responsible for developing a ‘hunter’ mentality - mapping out key accounts in your territory and developing a strategy to approach, and ultimately close the business. You will also need to strategize around existing clients for upsell and cross-sell opportunities. The Emerging sub-segment requires a strategic thinker. You will be required to break into target accounts with a combination of cold calling, personalized emails and strategic planning with your manager.
As you achieve and surpass your goals, you’ll unlock a wealth of opportunity at OwnBackup, including career development/advancement and perks. A number of our SMB Account Executives have moved up to various roles within the organization. The Account Executive, SMB Emerging role will allow you to hone essential sales techniques/processes that will serve you for your entire career!
