Account Executive

San Francisco, California

Join our Mission to Build the Future of Advanced Messaging

At Avochato, we make it easy for organizations to connect with their customers in the most modern and fun ways. Thousands of companies and hundreds of millions of consumers use Avochato to communicate seamlessly over SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, and Live Chat. Our vision is to establish dialogue with each and every one of the world’s 6 billion mobile devices through our SaaS platform. 

In today’s world, people prefer to communicate over messaging— it’s easy, fast, and concise. The challenge is that business processes are primarily built around legacy technology (like email and call software). Avochato solves this problem by upgrading companies to messaging, delivering a superior customer experience while improving sales, retention, and customer satisfaction. 

Avochato’s strategy is to leverage the transformative potential of AI to revolutionize communications for both agents and consumers. Recently named a Gartner Cool Vendor in AI and a G2Crowd Leader in messaging software, our company is at the forefront of advanced messaging technology. To support our growth, we’re looking to hire teammates that are passionate about building towards our mission and vision.

This Role:

Over the next few years, millions of businesses will upgrade their communication systems to incorporate AI-powered messaging. We are looking for someone who has that vision and can drive new adoption across the SMB and Mid-Market segments.

  • You will be responsible for acquiring new customers at companies between 25 and 250 employees, and successfully onboard them as long term clients

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
