Why We’re Hiring For This Role

As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're making a strategic investment in our sales team by hiring a North America-focused SMB Account Executive. This role is essential to accelerating our growth in a key market, ensuring we have the coverage and responsiveness needed to capture high-velocity SMB deals. Currently, our sales team is structured to support a global audience, but as demand grows in North America, we recognize the need for dedicated regional focus. By bringing in an AE specifically for this market, we can:

• Increase our availability for North American prospects, leading to faster response times and higher conversion rates.
• Maintain our momentum in SMB deal execution, ensuring our Mid-Market AE can continue focusing on larger, more complex opportunities.
• Capitalize on our latest product innovations, such as Charge vs Cost tracking and Multi-Currency support, which are highly relevant to North American businesses.

This role isn’t just about closing deals—it’s about shaping the future of our SMB sales strategy in North America. The right person will help us hit key revenue milestones, refine our go-to-market approach, and play a pivotal role in Float’s continued expansion. 🚀

Our Global Sales Manager, Dan, explains the important role you will play within our Sales team. Watch this video.

You’ll be working asynchronously with a bright, dedicated team from across the globe, with a strong focus on taking complex problems and creating solutions that feel simple and intuitive for our customers.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Early on, you’ll jump right into:

• Learning our ICP: Your first priority will be learning our ideal customer profile, their needs, and their use cases.
• Learning the Product: You’ll become a domain expert by reviewing our product documentation, getting to know our product in depth, and testing our software in collaboration with the product team.
• Observing how we do sales at Float: You’ll learn from recorded calls, live demos, and will watch how our sales team takes prospects and turns them into loyal customers.
• Getting Started: You’ll start leading your own discovery calls and eventually showcase Float’s capabilities with demos to key stakeholders and our incredible resource management champions.

Once you are a bit more settled, we expect that you will jump into:

• Owning SMB revenue growth in North America: Drive high-velocity sales, closing 8-12+ deals per month and adding $5K in new MRR consistently. You’ll own the full sales cycle, including negotiation and procurement. This includes managing inbound opportunities, leading a thoughtful and structured discovery meeting, and presenting Float’s capabilities as a solution to key stakeholders.
• Developing a scalable sales motion: Build a repeatable and efficient SMB sales process tailored to the North American market.
• Master product knowledge & industry knowledge: You will become an expert in the Float product. This will allow you to confidently address technical questions from prospects, offer guidance and expertise on workflows, showcase additional features prospects might benefit from, and offer key insights to our product team to improve our offerings.
• Optimize sales efficiency with new pricing & packaging: Sell larger deals under Float’s new pricing model, increasing ACV without extending sales cycles.
• Provide market insights to product & marketing: Share customer feedback, competitive intelligence, and positioning recommendations to refine Float’s go-to-market strategy.
• Refine and contribute to the SMB sales playbook: Document best practices, sales strategies, and deal execution insights to improve pipeline efficiency.
• Expand Float’s NA market presence: Build a strong pipeline, identify high-potential SMB segments, and drive Float’s visibility in North America.

What You’ll Need To Be Successful

We want you to love your work and believe that these skills will allow you to succeed in the role. Applying these skills requires:

• SaaS sales experience: 3+ years of inbound or outbound, quota-carrying sales experience within the B2B SaaS industry.
• Full sales cycle experience and performance: Proven ability to run the entire sales process, from discovery and sales calls to diligent follow-ups and closing deals. You have a history of being a top performer in B2B sales.
• Currently or previously been in the top 10% of performers in a Sales team.
• Discovery & demo effectiveness: You are skilled in conducting virtual discovery sessions to uncover and articulate prospects' pain points, KPIs, goals, and needs. You come with strong experience leading and delivering compelling product demos to potential clients.
• Stakeholder engagement: Ability to identify multiple relevant influencers and decision-makers within companies and build strong personal relationships with them.
• CRM proficiency: Familiar with CRM systems like HubSpot or Salesforce (we use HubSpot).

As a fully remote team, we’re looking for someone comfortable with asynchronous communication as the default, which means you have previous remote experience and are comfortable using tools like Slack, Loom, and Linear to communicate as needed. Don’t worry—you will have significant deep work time since we have very few meetings.
