About The Position

At Thryv, we are a team that lives by teamwork. However, it’s not the work that
drives us, it’s the respect, trust, and care for each other that defines us as a
team. We’re a diverse community of trendsetters who do our best work in a fun,
relaxed environment. Technology never stops evolving and neither do we. We’re
always looking for the best and brightest team players to join us.

About the position:

If you have 1–2 years of outbound sales experience and want to break into
software account management, this program is built for you.

We’re launching a 6‑Month Software Acceleration Program designed to identify,
develop, and evaluate high‑potential talent for our Software Account Management
(SAM) team. This is your chance to transition from prospecting to really closing
roles. It is designed to prepare and evaluate talent for placement into our
Software Account Representative (SAR) or Senior SAR roles.

This is a temporary program role with full benefits and a clear outcome at the
end of six months:

Top performers will advance directly into a Software Account Representative
(SAR) role
Exceptional performers may be considered for Sr Software Account
Representative (Sr SAR) placement
Those who do not meet performance expectations may conclude participation at
the end of the program

If you want a true pathway into Software Account Management, you will want to
take a close look at this role.
