We’re hiring a Commercial Account Executive (full-cycle IC) to help drive revenue growth through a high-velocity SMB selling motion with a strong focus on outbound.

1) Closing revenue
2) Generating pipeline
3) Helping establish culture
4) Building repeatable sales habits and disciplined CRM process
You’ll sell into hospitality buyers (e.g., owners, GMs, revenue managers, commercial directors) and should bring commercial curiosity about the industry, even if you haven’t sold hospitality before.
