Overall, if you’re looking for an opportunity with asymmetric career growth, a fantastic team spirit, inspiring people (details and fun pictures here!), and impactful work - https://www.notion.so/Join-Kombo-05435d42f09a4b85b2083ae2266543af?pvs=21 we think Kombo could be a great fit.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We can predictably create a more robust sales pipeline that we can close, and therefore, require more sales power to focus on closing those opportunities. That’s why we are seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to join our team to help ~3x our revenue in 2026.

You will own a big part of our revenue generation to hit our 2026 goals.

You will report to our CRO and work closely within a pod where you’ll take on a leading role in our Sales Team. You’ll manage a BDR to support you with pipeline generation. Historically ~80% of pipeline created for an AE came from our BD function of which our win rate is 40%+.

Your success can be measured by your ability to hit your revenue targets (quarterly/yearly).

Most of your time will be spent hunting and closing new business, but you will also be responsible for helping us improve our sales processes, and will have clear ownerships about managing your business development rep.

If you are passionate about daily customer interactions, enjoy strategically thinking about go-to-market challenges, and value being part of an excellent team that empowers you to grow, we think you'll love this job!
