The Role

LeafLink seeks a results-driven Account Executive to help expand our revenue acquisition team. In this role, you will be driving revenue acquisition through the sourcing of net-new customers and solution specific sales to existing customers. You’ll become fluent in speaking to our marketplace platforms, advertising solutions, financial services products, and data insight tools. 

You will be instrumental in demonstrating value and growing adoption of our platform and product suite with cannabis businesses and support their scaling efforts in a highly regulated industry. You will focus on all sizes of customers, providing customized solutions that address their unique business needs. Success in this role requires sales expertise, a strong understanding of highly regulated  industries, and a collaborative approach with cross-functional teams.

Collectively, this suite of products help our customers operate more efficiently across every aspect of their business. 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Selling our platforms and suite of solutions to cannabis businesses that are new to the industry, to a specific market, or to our platforms. You will also prospect for existing customers to sell our stand alone features to, such as banking, advertising, and analytics. 
  • Identify and build relationships with Director, VP, and C-level executives and other senior decision makers across cannabis brands and operators

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.
