Where:

This role will be based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

We have found that working in-person, alongside peers and more senior members of the team, confers great advantages owing to the spontaneous learning and collaboration opportunities that arise daily on a sales floor and that cannot be easily replicated in a remote environment.

We also understand the importance of flexibility to work remotely, both for personal and professional reasons. While this is an in-office role, as long as you are meeting our minimum performance standards, you’ll have the option to work remotely 20% of the month from anywhere in the continental US starting after you complete training, typically between months 4-6.

What we offer:

Senior Account Executive: $24.04 per hour plus a monthly bonus for hitting sales goals set forth in the Incentive Plan with the potential to earn $70,000/year total in base + bonus if meeting attendance and performance expectations.

This role is also eligible for a Monthly Bonus with a potential for uncapped commission, sales milestone bonuses (starting at $2,000) and eligibility for sales contests and other sales incentive compensation offered in the Company's discretion.
