Account Executive
Wired Impact is looking for a full-time Account Executive to join our team.
You’ll be responsible for qualifying, educating and signing up new nonprofit clients who can benefit from using our website platform.
We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious and energized by talking to people. You don’t need to have previous sales experience, but nonprofit experience is a major plus. If you’ve held a role that required sales-like skills, such as donor relations or program management, we’d love to hear about it.
We’re based in St. Louis, MO, but are open to you being fully remote. That said, we’re open from 8 – 5 CT, and are looking for someone who can generally be available during the majority of those hours to talk with potential clients.
We strongly believe in the value of diversity, and encourage you to apply regardless of your background or social identities. We want you to bring your whole, authentic self to work every day.
Primary Responsibilities
As an Account Executive at Wired Impact, your responsibilities will include:
- Develop deep knowledge of our SaaS website platform and the nonprofit sector, enabling you to guide organizations towards the best possible solution to meet their needs
- Run and own the entire sales process, from first contact, through demo, ongoing communication and finally signing up for a paid plan
- Execute our existing sales playbooks, while also experimenting and improving current processes to deliver better results
- Reengage dormant leads to bring them back into our active sales pipeline
- Provide support to clients and free trialers, helping them be as successful with their website as possible
- Keep detailed records in our CRM and regularly report out on results
- Collaborate on marketing initiatives to help us connect with more nonprofits
- Potentially generate new leads directly through inbound and outbound channels, though at this point the vast majority are inbound leads
- Facilitate a smooth handoff from sales to client success after a nonprofit signs up for a new website project
Ideal Skills and Characteristics
An ideal candidate for this role is someone who:
- Ideally has 2+ years of nonprofit or software sales experience
- Is naturally curious and hungry to learn
- Is an excellent written and verbal communicator
- Can balance the needs of many organizations and prioritize effectively
- Can quickly develop rapport and build relationships (even when you aren’t in the best mood)
- Is committed to delivering strong work, but also moving projects forward quickly
- Is willing to give and receive constructive criticism
- Can hold an entire conversation in sarcasm. (Seriously, an entire conversation. It’ll almost definitely happen at some point.)
- Is ready to help coworkers, even if tasks fall outside of your job description
- Is passionate about the nonprofit sector and helping organizations make the world a better place by leveraging technology
