About The Position

We are growing our sales organization and looking for an ambitious Associate Account Executive (AE) who wants to build a career in technology and professional services sales while developing relationships across the Salesforce ecosystem. This role is designed for someone ready to own a revenue number, develop a territory, build relationships with Salesforce Account Executives, and learn how to sell complex consulting and implementation services. As an Associate Account Executive, you will be responsible for generating new business and expanding Offprem's presence within an assigned territory and Salesforce ecosystem. You will carry an annual sales quota, measured against monthly sales goals throughout the year. This is not an inside-sales-only position. Relationship building is a critical part of how Offprem goes to market. You will be expected to develop meaningful relationships with Salesforce sellers, customers, prospects, and internal Offprem teams. The position must be geographically based in Chicago, San Francisco, or New York City, with an expectation of working from or spending time in the local Salesforce office approximately 1–2 days per week to develop relationships, collaborate with Salesforce teams, and generate opportunities.
