Were on a scale up journey, and were seeking people who thrive in this stage, given the autonomy, and the opportunity, to do the best work of their career.

Why Were Hiring For This Role

At Float, were voted #1 most popular tool for resource management software on G2. Over 4,500+ of the worlds top teams choose Float to plan their project resources and teams time.

Mid-market teams (101 to 1,000 people) are our fastest-growing customer segment, and were the leading solution to serve their resource planning needs. Were fortunate to have a product that our customers love, find easy and intuitive to use, and were receiving hundreds of qualified inbound leads per region each month that need help making their purchasing decision.

To better support this segment, weve established a sales-assist team of two that supports our product-led growth with inbound leads and helps convert our users in a trial into paying customers. Weve supported some notable names of people planners including teams like Atlassian, Edisen, and Stripe. With the relationships weve built with our customers, weve also influenced the direction of where were building Float and recently released key features our customers have been asking for like in-app Timer and custom Views shared across teams, with more exciting things on the horizon.

Were looking for someone who is excited not only by closing more customers but also to use the latest tooling and data insights to continuously improve and deliver outsized sales performance over time. This role will report to our Director of Customer Success, Alison, and you will be working to cover the Americas and APAC regions in this role - working hours for this coverage will be roughly 9AM to 5PM in the Pacific timezone or similar (we will consider candidates within 1-2 hours of this timezone).Our EMEA region is covered by Dan, our other Account Executive, but you will collaborate and work closely together. The region is large and plentiful, with a lot of room to experiment on top of our existing sales processes and strategies. You have a history of not just meeting monthly targets, but finding new opportunities to optimize the sales process that can be scaled across the team.

What Youll Be Responsible For

Youll be responsible for managing about 100 inbound leads per month in the Americas and APAC regions, and helping them understand why Float is the tool for people planners. While our category is not new, were starting to see more teams have a dedicated Resource Manager and most are just starting the journey to move from spreadsheets. Its our job to help them understand how we can help save their time, discover ways to be more efficient in how they allocate time, and provide more transparency on how work is done.

The end-to-end sales journey starts from when a lead starts a trial and sales engagement begins with targeted messaging to help them get the most out of their trial. Through discovery processes to better understand the customer needs, product education and training during the trial period, and positioning and comparing Float against spreadsheets or competitors, we help lead along their decision making process until they purchase a plan and they are handed off to the onboarding team.

• Understanding the Float product deeply and becoming comfortable running product demos for different skill levels.
