What You Will Do:

Reporting to the Director of Programs, the Account Executive, Programs is responsible for driving new business growth within private sector markets, with a primary focus on multi-residential opportunities.

This is a newly created, full-time permanent role and an exciting opportunity for sales professionals who thrive on challenge, enjoy building a pipeline from the ground up, and closing new business. You'll own the full sales cycle end-to-end - prospecting developers, property managers, and building owners; leading discovery across complex, multi-stakeholder deals; and driving opportunities from first touch through contract execution. Success in this role demands consistent activity paired with sharp execution at every stage, and the ability to sell a solution, not just a product.

We're looking for someone entrepreneurial by nature - a self-starter who operates with autonomy, builds momentum in an evolving market, and treats their territory like their own business. If you're a driven closer who wants a seat at the table in a growing company, where your performance directly shapes the trajectory of the business and your earnings, this is the opportunity to bet on yourself.

Full-Cycle Sales Execution:

• Own the entire sales process from first contact through to contract execution.
• Conduct structured discovery conversations to assess customer needs, timelines, decision-making processes, and overall fit.
• Apply a solution-based sales approach to align offerings with customer requirements and operational considerations.
• Deliver product demonstrations and presentations tailored to the audience and opportunity.
• Prepare proposals and supporting materials aligned with customer requirements.
• Manage negotiations and close agreements in a timely and professional manner.
• Maintain momentum across all active opportunities through consistent follow-up and clear next steps.
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments, engaging with a range of contacts including operations teams, property management, and ownership groups.

Pipeline & CRM Management:

• Build and maintain a healthy, self-sourced pipeline aligned with monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
• Accurately track all sales activity, meetings, deal stages, and next steps within CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot).
• Maintain clear visibility into pipeline performance, including risks, timelines, and priorities.
• Use pipeline insights to support forecasting and prioritize efforts effectively.
• Take full ownership of pipeline development and deal progression to ensure consistent performance against targets.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with internal teams to support opportunity scoping, pricing, and overall deal readiness.
• Ensure a smooth and structured transition of closed deals to implementation teams, including clear documentation of scope, timelines, and expectations.
• Operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment, adapting to new processes, priorities, and market conditions.
• Communicate relevant market feedback and insights to internal stakeholders to support ongoing improvements.
• Other duties as assigned.

What You Bring:

• 3–5+ years of experience in B2B sales, business development, or account executive roles, preferably in a hunter capacity.
• Proven ability to independently generate pipeline and close new business.
• Experience with solution-based selling in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
• Experience working with or selling into private sector real estate, including developers, property managers, or multi-residential portfolios, is an asset.
