This is a role for someone who enjoys building relationships, learning a complex product and having a meaningful impact in a growing technology company.
About the Company

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate brings either strong sales mechanics or meaningful experience in B2B advertising, marketing technology or agency services.
Experience selling marketing agency services is particularly relevant because of the similarities in buyer, value proposition and consultative selling environment. However, our client is also open to strong sales professionals from other industries who have learned how to sell in competitive environments and can demonstrate curiosity, adaptability and the ability to learn quickly.
Experience in SaaS is not required. Strong sales fundamentals and the ability to connect with customers are more important than having a specific industry background.
The company is particularly interested in candidates who have experience selling B2B, technical, data-driven or otherwise differentiated products and services. Candidates coming from entrepreneurial or early-stage environments may also be a strong fit.
Flexibility & Work-Life Integration
- Work Structure: Full-time, in-office position at the company’s downtown Clearwater headquarters.
- Schedule: Standard business hours with the flexibility and responsiveness expected within a growing technology company.
- Environment: Collaborative, entrepreneurial and fast-moving, with direct access to leadership and significant opportunity for ownership.
