Account Executive

About the Role

At GrowthZone, your mission is our mission.

We build modern, all-in-one software that empowers associations to grow faster, engage members more deeply, and operate more efficiently. As the leading platform for member-based organizations — chambers of commerce, trade associations, professional societies, and nonprofits — we serve thousands of customers across North America through two purpose-built products: GrowthZone AMS for SMB-sized associations and MemberSuite for larger, more complex organizations.

We're privately held, profitable, and deeply rooted in the verticals we serve. Our platform handles the full operational stack — billing, communication, websites, events, reporting, and more — backed by a team that genuinely understands what associations need to thrive.

GrowthZone is looking for a driven, high-energy Account Executive to join our growing sales team.

This is a full-cycle, high-velocity sales role. You'll own everything from first outreach to closed deal, working a steady volume of inbound and outbound opportunities with small business and association clients. If you love the hunt, thrive on daily activity metrics, and get energy from closing deals (not just nurturing them for months), this is your seat.

You'll work remotely, report into a supportive sales leader, and have real autonomy to run your pipeline your way — as long as the numbers show up. This role includes approximately 25% travel for industry events, trade shows, and conferences.

What You'll Do

• Prospect and qualify — Consistently make outbound calls and emails., qualifying and tracking every lead in HubSpot
• Run the full cycle — Own each deal from first conversation through demo, negotiation, and close
• Sell consultatively — Understand each prospect's needs and show them how GrowthZone solves real problems, not just feature-dump
• Demo the product — Deliver confident, compelling product demonstrations that translate features into value
• Negotiate and close — Handle pricing and contract conversations that get deals across the line while keeping customers happy
• Build market expertise — Develop deep knowledge in your assigned verticals so you show up as a trusted advisor, not just a rep
• Represent GrowthZone — Attend industry events, trade shows, and conferences to build your network and pipeline
• Track your numbers — Keep HubSpot current and know exactly where you stand against monthly, quarterly, and annual quota

What You Bring

• 3+ years of sales experience in business development, lead generation, or outbound calling — SaaS experience strongly preferred
• A genuine hunter mentality: you're energized by prospecting, not just closing what lands in your lap
• A track record of hitting and beating quota, and you can talk specifics about it
• Comfort with high-volume daily outreach and a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment
• Strong verbal and written communication skills — you can build trust quickly, remote or in person
• Familiarity with HubSpot or similar CRM tools for pipeline and data management
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field preferred (not required with strong experience)
• Bonus: experience selling into associations, chambers of commerce, or similar membership-based organizations
• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 25% of the time for events and conferences
