The Opportunity 

We’re looking for passionate, mission-aligned Account Executives to join our Commercial Sales team. This is a full-cycle, quota-carrying role, focused on the SMB and mid-market church segment. You’ll run a high-velocity book of business across two distinct sales motions: expanding revenue within our existing client base and generating new logo revenue through outbound and inbound prospecting. 

What you’ll do 

Own Your Pipeline End-to-End 

• Prospect into a defined territory of churches, identify qualified opportunities, and build and manage a pipeline of 60–100+ active deals. 

• Conduct high-quality discovery calls to understand each church's operational challenges, ministry goals, and decision-making structure. 

• Run product demonstrations tailored to the specific needs and context of each church; not one-size-fits-all pitches. 

• Manage the full sales cycle from first contact to closed-won, including proposal, negotiation, and handoff to Relationship Management. 

Sell with Integrity and Consultative Depth 

• Build genuine relationships with church administrators, executive pastors, and ministry leaders – treating every buyer as a partner, not a transaction. 

• Ask the right questions to surface real pain and connect our platform's value to the church's specific operational and ministry needs. 

• Navigate objections, particularly around budget and change management support, with empathy, data, and a clear ROI narrative. 

• Create urgency tied to the church's operational calendar and actual needs, not artificial pressure tactics. 

Operate with Process Discipline 

• Maintain meticulous CRM hygiene in Salesforce: every deal stage, next step, and key contact accurately logged. 

• Prioritize your pipeline strategically and move deals forward with consistent, well-timed follow-through. 

• Hit your daily and weekly activity targets without needing to be managed to them. 

• Communicate deal risk proactively and accurately. 

Grow Continuously 

• Participate actively in coaching, call reviews, and team sales training – we're all here to learn together. 

• Share what's working with peers and contribute to a culture of collective improvement. 

Required Experience 

• You have 2+ years of quota-carrying B2B SaaS or software sales experience with a proven track record of delivering against your number. 

• You have a high-activity, process-driven approach to managing a high-volume pipeline. 

• You are a strong communicator and can adapt your pace and style to the person across from you. 

• Effective in learning and leveraging sales technology; our tech stack includes Salesforce, SalesLoft, and Spekit – using these tools daily is critical to success in the role.  

• Growth mindset: You receive feedback and coaching well and apply it to your process. 

Preferred Experience 

• Experience selling into faith-based organizations, nonprofits, or mission-driven verticals isn't required, but it meaningfully accelerates ramp and deepens client relationships. 

• Training in a structured sales methodology: MEDDIC, Sandler, Challenger, SPICED, or similar programs. 

• Prior experience at a high-growth, early-to-mid stage SaaS company. Comfortable with change, ambiguity, and building systems and processes as you scale is a genuine asset here. 

Enabling your success 

Growth & Development 

• Structured onboarding and ramp program 

• Ongoing sales coaching, call review, and skills development 

• Opportunity to grow - Clear progression path from AE to Senior AE or Sales Leadership 

• Up to $2,500 per year for professional development 

Culture & Mission 

• Work that carries genuine meaning: our clients are building community and enabling a positive impact on the world 

• A team that takes the craft of selling seriously and helps each other get better 

• Remote-first with a connected, collaborative culture 

• Leadership that is transparent, accessible, and invested in your success
