The Job

Data loss can be devastating. Whether it’s caused by human error, bad code, rogue integrations, or malicious intent, all companies are at risk. OwnBackup is the #1 data backup, archiving, and sandbox seeding app on the Salesforce AppExchange. With over 3,000 customers, we are ranked #25 on Financial Times’ list of America’s fastest growing companies, and have raised $267.5 million in funding from Salesforce Ventures and others. 

As OwnBackup continues to scale into the next phase of growth, we are looking for eager SMB Account Executives to not only hunt for net new business, but to also grow their careers as sales professionals for years to come. In this quota carrying role, you will hunt for brand new prospects and ultimately convert them into paying customers. A small percent will be “inbound generated”, but mostly focused on “outbound prospecting”. You will be responsible for developing a ‘hunter’ mentality - mapping out key opportunities in your territory and developing a strategy to approach, and ultimately close the business.

As you achieve and surpass your goals, you’ll unlock a wealth of opportunity at OwnBackup, including career development/advancement and perks. A number of our SMB Account Executives have moved up to General Business (mid-market) Account Executives. The SMB AE role will give you that solid foundation of knowledge and essential sales techniques/processes that last your entire career!

• Map out the decision-making process of each prospect in order to optimize conversions at each stage.
• Slay the product demonstrations to set OwnBackup apart from other solutions
• Cross-functionally work with Sales Engineers, Customer Success, Marketing, Product and Engineering to provide critical customer feedback loops that influence product roadmap to improve overall customer experience.

Your Work Experience

• Minimum of 1 years’ experience in a quota carrying role preferably in the SaaS and/or PaaS space but not required
• 1 to 2 years of experience as a BDR/ SDR
• Strong prospecting experience using tools like LinkedIn, DiscoverOrg/ZoomInfo, etc.
• Hunter mindset; a proven track record in identifying key accounts/prospects, initiating outreach and bringing them to close
• Proven past success in a transactional selling environment
