Account Executive, Commercial

Who You Are

You’re a sales pro with a passion for connecting people to solutions that truly make their lives easier and more exciting. You're energized by introducing new customers to a transformative SaaS platform that's changing how events are built, managed, and experienced. You understand the power of matching the right message to the right moment, and you’ve got a soft spot for great events yourself.

You know relationships are at the heart of every great sale. You’re curious, driven, and committed to a customer-first approach. You ask smart questions, listen closely, and follow through. You're also looking to grow both personally and professionally, within the fast-moving world of SaaS and event tech.

You're proactive, detail-obsessed, and love the hunt. You’re target-oriented and competitive in the best way, with a collaborative spirit and a knack for getting people excited about what you're selling. And while you’re serious about hitting goals, you don’t take yourself too seriously. After all, even Bob Ross knew that every happy little accident could lead to something great.

• Execute with urgency on inbound leads, ensuring timely follow-up, progression through the funnel, and maximum conversion.
• Lead a consultative sales process by becoming an expert in both the events industry and the Swoogo platform.
• Drive collaboration across departments and teams, including Sales Development, Account Management, Product Enablement, and Customer Success, to ensure a cohesive customer journey.
• Consistently meet or exceed your targets, driving both revenue and new logo acquisition.
