About the role

Mission

As the first Account Executive at Svix, your mission is to build predictable revenue with aggressive revenue targets. You will be responsible for driving revenue growth for Svix by closing deals, expanding accounts, maintaining relationships, and increasing top-of-the funnel, while building a repeatable sales process for the business. This role is a great opportunity for great salespeople that are excited about building.

Joining Svix now, is getting the best of both worlds. It’s early enough to make a significant impact on the trajectory of the company, but we already have significant revenue and are used by some of the world’s best companies.

Outcome

  • You own pre-sales customer relationships:

  • You own post-sales customer relationships:

  • You build a repeatable sales process:

Competencies

  • Track record:

  • You have experience selling to developers, engineering managers, and product managers, including experience with “bottom up” motions.

  • You will need to have enough technical knowledge and competency to be able to speak intelligently about an API product. Preferably having sold similar products in the past.

  • You have successfully done mid-market and enterprise sales.

  • Systematic and highly organized: Initially this is a pathfinding individual contributor role and the ideal candidate should be able to help build our overall sales process while succeeding in it.

  • Passion for building: Closing deals is an important part of this role, but you will also need to be passionate about “cracking the code” and wanting to build something from scratch.

Additional information

  • Join as the first AE and build the sales function of a fast growing startup trusted by the world’s best companies, and backed by the world’s best investors.

  • Unlimited potential for personal growth and wearing many hats.

  • Work directly with our founder and CEO.

About Svix

Svix is SendGrid for webhooks. Webhooks are becoming increasingly important, though they are still a pain to build. Developers need to worry about deliverability, retries, monitoring, security and the developer experience for their users. All of which are different for webhooks compared to the rest of the stack. We turn all of that into a simple API call.

We are well funded and are backed by Y Combinator, Aleph, and founders and CTOs of companies such as Github, PagerDuty, Segment, Lookout and Fly.io.
