The Position
Arkatechture is looking for an Account Executive who can help financial service institutions realize their data-driven strategic goals. We expect the Account Executive to establish new business relationships with enterprise customers, driving sales of our SaaS platform.
As an Account Executive at Arkatechture, you’ll play a key role in acquiring new customers who will turn into long-term fans of our SaaS platform, Arkalytics. You’ll be expected to strategically build and manage your pipeline of future customers, balancing both inbound and outbound leads. Leveraging your unique expertise, you’ll support future customers through a full, consultative sales cycle, collaborating with other internal resources as needed.
Our most successful team members are curious, can-do collaborators who see sales as the start of a relationship versus a transactional interaction. They love the opportunities that come with being part of a scale-up and are driven to succeed at both the individual and company level.
How to Apply
Please send a cover letter and resume with your application. You must submit both documents to be considered for the position. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Arkatechture we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
