Stripe - Account Executive, Startup Platforms (Grower)
Requirements
• We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. • You are an adept salesperson and relationship manager capable of engaging in business-level and technical conversations at multiple levels of the organization, including the CTO, COO, and CFO. You have an in-depth understanding of the buyer journey and can lead a complex, multi-party sale in a highly consultative manner. You are used to building value in competitive situations and enjoy working on products that require deep product understanding combined with technical knowledge. You are naturally analytical and enjoy digging into business models and helping customers quantify their investment decisions. You get excited about prospecting and are capable of independently leading a sales cycle from start to finish. Finally, you enjoy building — you like to actively participate in the development of our sales process, the articulation of our value proposition, and the creation of key tools and assets. • If you're motivated, smart, persistent, and a great teammate, we want to hear from you! • At least 3 years of sales or prospecting experience, ideally within a technology company, with a consistent record of top performance. • Proven ability to manage a named account list and develop account plans for upper middle market and enterprise companies. • Experience building and maintaining relationships with C-level executives (CTO, COO, CFO). • Demonstrated ability to own and close a full sales cycle, from prospecting through to contract. • Strong analytical skills with experience helping customers model and quantify business investment decisions. • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Finance to lead complex product workshops and financial analyses. • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. • In-office expectations • Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
