About The Position

Lifeway is seeking a mission-driven Account Executive to grow our presence within an assigned church territory through consultative, relationship-first sales. In this role, you will serve as a trusted ministry partner to church leaders - assessing their discipleship needs and connecting them with Lifeway resources that support their congregations. You will own your territory from prospecting to close, collaborating with internal teams to deliver solutions that carry real ministry impact. If you are passionate about the local church and thrive in a field sales environment, this role is an opportunity to align your faith and your career. The Account Executive will be an independent, driven individual residing and proactively managing a territory that includes CO, AZ, and NM. This is a remotely based territory sales position. Qualified candidates must already be located in the assigned territory and available for regular local and overnight travel within the assigned territory. Lifeway has a strong Work from Anywhere (WFA) culture that is deeply focused on our mission and values. While headquartered in Nashville, TN, many of our positions are remote-eligible and have autonomy and flexibility with work hours. We provide equipment and resources to ensure team members have access to a productive and ergonomic workspace. We believe building relationships and community is essential to how we work together, so Lifeway hosts all-team meetings several times per year and provides travel for key team gatherings for remote-based team members. Occasional travel to Nashville for in-person team gatherings and training.
