What you'll do

• Own the full sales cycle for net-new mid-market customers, from outbound prospecting and qualification through discovery, demonstrations, negotiation, and close
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline through consistent self-sourced outbound prospecting, strategic account targeting, and collaboration with SDR partners
• Lead consultative discovery conversations to understand customer challenges, business objectives, existing workflows, and buying criteria
• Deliver tailored demonstrations of Muck Rack's platform, connecting its media intelligence, monitoring, measurement, and AI-powered capabilities to customer needs
• Navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes, engaging decision-makers across PR, Communications, Marketing, and executive leadership
• Develop business cases, manage competitive evaluations, overcome objections, and negotiate contracts to win new business
• Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and opportunity documentation in Salesforce
• Consistently achieve or exceed individual revenue targets while maintaining strong pipeline coverage
• Leverage AI, automation, and modern sales technology to improve prospecting efficiency, account research, and sales execution
• Collaborate with Sales Development, Marketing, Solutions, and other internal teams to support a strong customer buying experience
• Develop expertise in the evolving PR, communications, and media intelligence landscape

How success will be measured

• Consistent achievement of individual revenue quota
• Net-new customer acquisition and closed-won revenue
• Self-generated pipeline and qualified opportunity creation
• Pipeline health, coverage, and forecast accuracy
• Ability to advance and close complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities
• Effective territory planning, prospecting, and sales execution

What we're looking for

• 4–5+ years of quota-carrying Account Executive experience in B2B SaaS, with demonstrated ownership of new-business acquisition and closing
• A proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding revenue quotas, supported by measurable performance results
• Experience selling complex, consultative SaaS solutions to mid-market customers, ideally involving multiple stakeholders, tailored demonstrations, and business-value discussions
• Demonstrated success generating your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, including cold calling, personalized email outreach, social selling, and strategic account development
• Experience independently managing the full sales cycle, from initial prospecting through contract execution
• A track record of sustained contributions and professional growth, including increasing responsibility, larger deal sizes, more complex accounts, or advancement into higher sales segments
• Strong discovery and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate technical or sophisticated product capabilities in clear business terms
• Experience engaging Directors, VPs, C-suite executives, and other decision-makers throughout the buying process
• Strong pipeline management, territory planning, and forecasting discipline
• Ability to manage multiple opportunities and competing priorities in a fast-paced sales environment
• Experience using Salesforce and modern sales engagement/prospecting tools
• An interest in using AI and automation to improve sales productivity and execution

Salary

In the US, the base salary for this role is $65,000–$70,000, with on-target earnings of $145,000+.

We typically build 1–3 quarters of ramp time with lower goals and corresponding lower commission earnings. We take a geo-neutral approach to compensation within the US, meaning we pay based on job function and level rather than location. For all other countries, we have competitive pay bands based on market standards.

Individual compensation decisions are based on a number of factors, including experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at our company to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted. If that ends up being the case, the updated salary range will be communicated with you as a candidate.
