We strongly encourage candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, historically marginalized or underrepresented groups to apply.
At Handshake, we create opportunities for all students and recent graduates to have equal access to meaningful jobs and internships. We’re looking for a seasoned Account Executive with a proven track record of success selling into State & Local Government to join our team - working with employers in the federal sector nationwide to influence and expand their early talent recruiting strategy. We are dedicated to providing innovative solutions to our clients and maintaining a strong presence in the federal sector. As we expand, we seek a motivated and results-driven Account Executive to join our dynamic sales team.
As an Account Executive for State & Local Government Accounts, you will be crucial in building and closing deals within the SLG sector. You will develop and nurture relationships with key stakeholders, identify opportunities, and drive the sales process from lead generation to deal closure across your accounts. This role requires in-depth knowledge of the hiring needs and challenges of large and small SLG agencies and an acute understanding of how they function. It will also require strategic thinking, relationship building, and a strong focus on achieving revenue targets.
For cash compensation, we set standard ranges for all U.S.-based roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
