Account Executive, Growth

Who we are; RELEX Overview:

We’re currently a team of 2000+ employees working from offices in the US (Atlanta), UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and our headquarters in Helsinki, Finland. We work in small teams where everyone’s input is valued. We’re passionate about what we do, we like putting our skills to the test and we make sure we have fun during the process — because life is supposed to be fun. 

About the Account Executive, Growth Opportunity:

The Growth team is responsible for selling our new products into prospects as well as our 500 existing clients. The target market segment is retailers (e.g. Grocery, Convenience, DIY, etc.) who each drive $100M-$1B in annual revenue. You’ll run the entire sales cycle from prospecting and discovery to demo, negotiation, contracting, and ultimately driving the buying process to close. This is an incredibly exciting time to join the RELEX sales team, as you’ll be an early contributor on a new team responsible for scaling RELEX’s newest and fastest growing lines of business. 

This role will be US-based (Atlanta or remote).

Join us as an Account Executive, Growth, and this is some of what you’ll be doing: 

• Value-Based Selling: Deliver an engaging value-based sales methodology and drive meaningful customer value for all respective stakeholders, including presenting the vision to the C-levels. 

• Prospecting: Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of opportunities in order to meet quarterly and annual targets, including access to and alignment with the customer C-levels. 

• Sales Cycle Management: Manage all aspects of the sales cycle including solution development, deal term negotiation and contract closing process for opportunities within the territory. 

• Negotiation: Negotiate contracts and agreements to ensure that appropriate expectations are being established, communicated and documented. 

• Sales Pipeline Management: Maintain an accurate Salesforce.com pipeline of all opportunities, white-space, contacts and account history and provide appropriate communication.

• Team Focus: Work collaboratively with internal teams to maintain 100% customer satisfaction, ensuring opportunities for additional business growth.

• Self-Starter: The candidate must be independent, resourceful, adaptable, achievement-oriented, and resilient. The best candidates are entrepreneurial and develop their territory into a functioning business. 

• Team Player: Open-minded, hands-on, team-oriented and down to earth communicator. Good experience interacting with inside sales, pre-sales, alliances and sales operations in a manner that creates the best outcomes for customers and the company. 

• Customer-Focused: RELEX is customer satisfaction-obsessed, so the candidate needs to demonstrate that they build and maintain positive long-term, win-win relationships with clients. 

• Value Seller: Must possess a value-selling DNA and a strong background utilizing value-selling tools.  RELEX customers experience high ROI, and we align our solution and sales model to this.
