This role is designed for ambitious, entry-to-mid-level professionals looking to launch or solidify a career in SaaS sales. While the post is listed as mid-level, the requirements—including a 4-year degree and a "hunger" to start a sales career—suggest it is an ideal training ground for those who are early in their journey but possess the grit for high-volume outreach. The position is based on-site in Cleveland and offers a clear path toward a consultative Account Executive role. You will be supported by a robust benefits package including "Flex Time Off," global wellness days, and a comprehensive 401k/medical plan. Success here is measured by your ability to manage a high-volume pipeline and master a modern tech stack. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are comfortable making 60+ cold calls and sending high volumes of customized emails daily. * Have a 4-year degree and a relentless drive to hit and exceed monthly quotas. * Enjoy "hunting" for new business and researching quality prospects for a global PR platform. * Want to work in an environment that uses industry-standard tools like Salesforce and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
