  • Drive multi-threaded deals and expansion across procurement, finance, and legal, anchored by executive sponsorship and structured account planning
  • Roll up your sleeves: participate in customer conversations, model strong discovery, and coach deal strategy in real time
  • Design and optimize processes, KPIs, and incentives to improve AE/AM efficiency and performance at scale
  • Act as a strong voice of the customer: advocate internally to align Zip’s roadmap with customer needs
  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, CS, Product, and Marketing to drive upsell and cross-sell motions in a customer-first way
  • Help scale a core GTM function as Zip enters its next phase of growth

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience leading Account Management or Sales teams with proven success hitting revenue targets
  • A track record of managing high-volume customer portfolios with both velocity and quality
  • Operational rigor: qualification frameworks, pipeline diagnostics, account-planning cadence, and comfort working hands-on in the data
  • Experience selling into procurement, finance, accounting, IT, or legal: you understand the buyer

  • A real passion for developing early-career sellers
