Senior Account Executive - Chicago

At Expel, we believe if we look after our employees, they will take care of our customers, and the rest will work itself out. It’s as simple as that. We have built a great place to work where our atmosphere is truly transparent, people love what they do, and work gets appreciated. Now we’re scaling a sales culture that is also transparent and customer focused. A place where our customers rave about their sales team. Where they speak of trust, openness, respect and honesty. We want our customers to not only love our product but feel good about how they get treated during every interaction with us.

You ask questions to understand problems and you enjoy being a true partner to tackle them. Your customers walk with you because they know you only sell products you believe in, products you stand behind, aspirin for the headache they actually have. We know that no matter how good a product is, someone has to guide the sales process – and you excel at this.

You haven’t sold just any product, you’ve sold information security products. It’s a tangled, messy market with confusing, overlapping messages and frequently unclear value propositions. We are excited to discuss the product and hope that you share in a genuine opportunity to offer Expel to the world.
