Mid-Market Account Executive

About The Position

The Mid-Market Account Executive (Transactional AE) owns net-new business across a defined U.S. territory, selling into small and mid-sized utilities. Typical ACVs range from $25k–$45k, with opportunities spanning $10k on the low end up to ~$80k. Instead of managing a small number of large enterprise deals, you will run a fast-paced, high-volume pipeline. At peak, you may manage 50–80 active opportunities across multiple stages. This environment moves quickly and demands strong organization, discipline, and the ability to context-switch with ease. You will run the full sales cycle from qualification to close, partnering closely with a dedicated BDR and a shared Solutions Engineering resource. You’ll guide public-sector buyers who are often purchasing SaaS for the first time, navigating them through procurement, internal alignment, and a structured process that keeps deals moving. This is a hybrid role based in Toronto (GTA) with regular travel multiple times per quarter for conferences, onsite workshops, evaluation sessions, and in-person deal acceleration.

Strong organizational rigor with unmatched follow-through.

Comfort with 4–6 month sales cycles.
