About the role

Original posting from 6sense via Greenhouse

Our Mission:

6sense's mission is to multiply what matters: growth, retention, and efficiency.  We envision a future where companies, teams and people reach their full potential.

Our People:

People are the heart and soul of 6sense. We serve with passion and purpose. We live by our Being 6sense values of Win as One Team, Stay Curious, Do The Right Thing, Own the Outcome, and Create Belonging.  Every 6sensor plays a part in defining the future of our industry-leading technology.  6sense is a place where difference-makers roll up their sleeves, take risks, act with integrity, and measure success by the value we create for our customers.  We want 6sense to be the best chapter of your career. 

The Role: Imagine selling a solution that will predict for your customers (with an 85% accuracy) who is going to buy, what they’ll buy and when.  As a Commercial Account Executive at 6sense, you’ll be an instrumental player to our growth as we build upon the success we’ve had delivering predictions for enterprises like Cisco, Centrify, Dell, Qlik, and Oracle.  We will trust you to evangelize 6sense, run your business like a CEO, and consistently exceed quarterly and annual targets.  This is not your average start-up; you’ll be closing large deals.  And you’ll be rewarded very well for doing so. 

The Fit: We’re growing our Commercial sales team, so we’re looking for people who not only have a track record of being the best of the best, closing big deals and passion for fundamentally changing B2B marketing and sales, but can also think critically about driving customer growth and building our sales organization.  This is a unique opportunity to help shape and accelerate our success. 

This role can either be hybrid in our New York City office or remote, located on the East Coast. 

Here are the traits you exhibit:

Intrinsic drive to be successful, love to win – You’ll take initiative to figure it out, are motivated to do your absolute best work. (That’s why you’ve ended up at top across your career.) 

Clear, succinct communicator – Using your customer’s language, you’ll help them clearly understand the value 6sense delivers 

Technical expertise – You’ll demonstrate and speak to how 6sense drives success 

Innately curious – You’ll know your buyer, their business, and what 6sense means to their success 

Empathetic listener – You’ll listen more than you talk. And, you really get what they mean.  

Collaborate and win as a team – You’ll compete, but above that you’ll collaborate, you’ll share what is working, you’ll help the team win, you’ll take on projects outside of closing deals. 

Minimum Requirements: 

3+ years of quota carrying software or technology sales, closing complex sales cycles 

Consistent track record of over-achieving quota (top 10-20% of company) 

Preferred Requirements: 

Familiarity with marketing tech stack (Marketo, Eloqua), B2B publishers/media, data providers 

Strong and demonstrated written and verbal communications skills 

Ability to work in a fast-paced, team environment 

4-year BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience 

Strong C-level customer references
