Strategic Account Executive

Lob was built by technical co-founders with a vision to make the world programmable.

We offer two flagship APIs (print & mail and address verification) that enable companies to send postal mail as effortlessly as sending emails. Lob is venture-backed by some of the most reputable investors in tech, and we are building our team to shape the future of our company and meet the demands of a quickly growing customer base and dynamic product offerings.

As a proud Pledge 1% company, we’re committed to leveraging our product, partnerships, and people to drive positive social impact through Lob.org, and are on a mission to make direct mail more sustainable.

Strategic Account Executive

We are looking for an experienced Account Executive who is excited to get in on the ground floor of a growing Strategic Sales team and help make this vertical the fastest growing and largest line of revenue at the company.

This role will require you not only to become an expert on Lob’s product and the direct mail industry but to step beyond the role of a typical Account Executive and help shape the vision of this novel team.

• Be the expert that articulates Lob’s expertise and capabilities
• Provide technical, value-based demonstrations of the product configured to the requirements and use cases of the sophisticated and demanding organizations
• Manage and lead proof of concept evaluations
• Respond to RFPs and RFIs when required
• Coordinate both external and internal resources in order to build momentum and facilitate agreements with customers
• Provide market and customer feedback to inform our product and service roadmap
• Work closely with members of our marketing, sales development, sales engineering, product, and engineering teams

What will you bring to this role…

• BA/BS degree
• A proven track record exceeding quota and 7+ years of experience in a closing role leading customers through a B2B SaaS sales cycle
• Experience in Direct Mail or Supply Chain
• Documented success selling software solutions in complex ecosystems, preferably APIs
• Comfort with a fast paced environment, and a bias towards immediate action and results
• A relentless work ethic, mental toughness, focus, and comfort with ambiguity
• Willing to go out of your way to complete a job and a relentless drive to achieve results; you take initiative with minimal direction or supervision
• The creativity to handle never-before-seen situations smoothly
• Willingness to travel periodically for events and customer meetings (10-25%)
