Full-cycle new business. $1M ARR quota, 30% win rate.
Discovery to signature. No pre-sales handoff.
You own your pipeline. 40% comes from your own PG; marketing and partners bring the rest.
You won't write cold emails. AI researches and writes outbound; you QC it and pick up the phone.
You turn a prospect's numbers into a business case they can take to their CFO
You find the real problem behind the one they tell you
You learn a new market fast. Paid search and ChatGPT Ads won't faze you
You pick up the phone without being told. Making dials doesn't scare you
You own your number. No excuses about lead flow
You'd rather hear no today than maybe next quarter
You ask for feedback on your calls, then act on it
You run a structured method (Sandler preferred) and stick to it under pressure
You test new tools before deciding they don't work
Research shows men apply if they meet ~60% of the criteria, while women and underrepresented groups apply only if they meet all requirements. If you have the skills but don't meet every requirement, reach out – we'd love to explore how you could be a great fit!
3+ years closing new logos as an AE, preferably in MarTech, AdTech or paid search, and you still want to carry a bag
Sold into complex organisations: layers of hierarchy, buying committees, 60–120 day cycles, across enterprise and mid-market
100%+ of quota in at least 2 of the last 3 years.
Sandler training strongly preferred
All Adthenians are expected to align closely with our ‘Core Values’.
What it means...
