What you'll do

As an Account Executive at Stripe, you'll drive future growth at Stripe by building relationships with prospective users and turning them into happy Stripe users.

You are an adept salesperson, capable of engaging in business-level and technical conversations at multiple levels of the organization, including the CTO, COO, and CFO. You have experience working with upper-middle-market and enterprise companies. 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 curious and enjoy digging into business models and helping businesses 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.
