About the role

Hi, my name is Kendall, Director of Sales here at Customer.io, and I'm looking for a Senior Account Executive to join my team. This is a full-cycle sales role where you'll own your number end to end. You'll have SDR and BDR support and qualified inbound demand from marketing, but I'm really looking for someone who sees outbound as their edge - not a last resort. Pipeline ownership is a big part of how we measure success on this team.

Some things you'll do...

  • Drive new business through a mix of self-sourced outbound and inbound leads; run discovery calls (qualifying through MEDDPICC) and own the full sales cycle to close
  • Work closely with SDR and BDR support, reviewing account targeting, sales strategy, and prospecting progress to assist in scheduling new meetings with key brands within our ICP
  • Schedule and perform online demos with qualified prospects
  • Uncover key business needs and problems, match Customer.io's solutions and features
  • Own your key numbers! Report present and past sales, trends and costs, estimated and realized revenue, and administrative commitments for management
  • Own your outbound motion - consistently self-source pipeline and take pride in building opportunities from the ground up
  • Explain and demonstrate the features and merits of our products and services through value-based selling
  • Leverage AI tools to work smarter - whether that's prospecting, research, call prep, or follow-up, we want people who are actively incorporating AI into how they sell

About you

  • Top performer for 5+ years in a Senior Account Executive role (or similar), within the B2B SaaS environment
  • Special consideration may be given to candidates with experience selling Marketing Technology products
  • Proven track record of quota and goal achievement
  • Familiarity with MEDDPICC or a similar sales framework
  • Actively uses AI tools as part of your sales workflow - not just aware of them, but genuinely incorporating them into how you prospect, prep, and execute
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must, as well as a professional and engaging phone presence
  • Ability to identify customer business needs in order to recommend relevant solutions
  • Ability to prioritize responsibilities in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
  • You're a creative problem solver who can understand the customer problem and find the best solution regardless of what the customer is asking for

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $115,000 base + $115,000 Variable = $230,000 OTE USD (or equivalent in local currency), depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.

Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
