Sales at Swiftly
Our Account Executive team is responsible for managing deals from generation to close for midmarket and enterprise prospective customers in the public transit industry.
At Swiftly, we work and win as a team. Our Account Executives are supported by BDRs and Solutions Engineers who will collaborate with you on account strategy and building effective business cases throughout the sales process. You will also be supported by a cross-functional, dedicated leadership team who will partner with you on critical deals and provide high-impact, 1:1 coaching.
The AE team at Swiftly cares deeply about the problem we’re solving. We’ve implemented a value-driven sales methodology to ensure we are solving for impact throughout the sales process. You will be trained on the SPICED methodology, which is utilized across our GTM teams, and provides a blueprint for achieving sales targets.
About the Role
As an Account Executive, you will be the CEO of your own slice of the business and responsible for overseeing a successful territory plan in your territory. You will be responsible for deeply understanding the situation and pain of our stakeholders, working with your Solutions Engineer to deliver valuable platform demos, presenting business cases with demonstrable ROI, and ultimately proving to decision makers that Swiftly will have an impact on their desired organization outcomes. Additionally, you will be responsible for guiding your clients through potential procurement pathways and leading Swiftly’s internal responses to public solicitations for your territory (with the support of our internal procurement team).
We are open to candidates in all locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario, Canada. East Coast location is highly preferred. At this time we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship. #LI-Remote
