Account Executive

Respondology • Boulder, CO

6d • $75,000 - $85,000 • Remote

About The Position

Respondology is seeking a high-performing Mid-Market Account Executive to help us capture new revenue growth during a pivotal stage in our company's evolution. This is an exciting opportunity to join a mission-driven SaaS startup as we scale beyond $5M ARR into our next phase of growth.

In this role, you'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, focusing on landing mid-market logos and driving net-new business. Top-of-funnel generation is critical to this role—we need someone who knows how to build pipeline from scratch, not just work inbound leads. You'll work with household-name brands as well as high-growth companies, navigating multi-threaded sales processes with confidence and urgency.

If you started your career as an SDR and progressed into a closing role, you're exactly who we're looking for. We're seeking someone who thrives in a startup environment and knows how to create new business opportunities through proactive outbound. You know how to uncover pain points quickly, tell a compelling story, and close deals with urgency. If you're motivated by fast-paced growth, love the challenge of value-based selling, and want to help shape a GTM motion at an early stage, we want to talk to you.

The world’s top brands rely on Respondology to transform comment sections into community, commerce, and competitive intelligence. Fast to deploy and easy to use, our customers engage with over 2 billion collective followers every month.

This is a remote position, open to candidates in these US states (CO, FL, NY, NJ, UT, CA, NE, KY, IL, TX, MA) or Canada.

• Ability to travel up to 25%
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota in high-growth or startup environments
• Experience driving new business in companies with strong product-market fit (ideally $2M–$10M ARR stage)
• Skilled at value-based selling with strong demo abilities that map directly to customer pain points

Nice To Haves

• Background as an SDR who transitioned into an Account Executive role
• Proven ability to self-source deals and create opportunities through outbound prospecting

• Direct experience working with an SDR team or as an SDR yourself
• Familiarity with sales tools (HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle—from outbound prospecting to signed contract
• Generate a significant portion of your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, cold outreach, and creative sourcing strategies
• Work closely with a dedicated SDR partner, leveraging their prospecting efforts while also driving your own top-of-funnel activity
• Drive new ARR through a healthy mix of inbound leads, event-driven opportunities, and self-generated outbound opportunities (expect to own your own prospecting alongside SDR support)
• Develop a strong understanding of Respondology's products, value, and buyers
• Lead consultative discovery to surface business pain points and tie Respondology's ROI to the needs of marketing, brand, and social teams
• Consistently meet or exceed sales quotas and KPIs
