Picture this:

It’s a busy day at Athennian… and you’re in the middle of mapping out the buying committee for a fast-moving opportunity, which is just one of your personal 200+ target accounts.

Thanks to the music streaming into your headset, you find it easy to focus. At the same time, you seamlessly glide from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to HubSpot to Gong to learn more about the Ideal Customer Profile decision-makers with whom you’ll build human-to-human relationships over the coming days and weeks.

This is different from your average sales job opportunity. Keep reading to find out why.

The Company:

Athennian is a technology company that increases trust in business. Our products help legal, finance, and tax teams be transaction and audit-ready by organizing business entity and corporate structure information. Over 370,000 business entities in almost every country are managed on Athennian to automate workflows for ownership, company secretarial, governance, tax, and compliance. Headquartered in Calgary with offices in Toronto and Vancouver and remote co-workers throughout North America, it's fair to say we live on our Slack channel rather than in a physical space.

The Opportunity:

This is an opportunity to join a well-funded, fast-growing legal tech startup; we are looking for a hungry and curious talent passionate about growing the business together and we are open to your location being based in the USA or Canada.

Reporting to the VP of Sales, this role requires a proven track record of success in sales and an eagerness to work in a fast-paced start-up with significant accountability. You will be on the front lines of growing Athennian’s market share. You are an expert at managing the full sales cycle, especially qualifying, consulting, proposing, and closing new business.

You will focus on bringing new logos to our company that meet our defined ICP. We have a product-market fit, and it's time to increase our market share. A market that is 99% serviced by in-house systems and Excel spreadsheets.

Excellent time management skills and the ability to effectively manage multiple priorities simultaneously are essential for this role. You must be an A-team player, self-motivated, and driven to win.

Generate and own a pipeline of qualified sales opportunities with key prospects. You will be expected to generate some of your own opportunities. Don't get us wrong; we have marketing and a healthy inbound lead funnel, but we want to hire people who can hunt as well.

Gain a consultative sales approach and manage complex B2B sales cycles while effectively communicating the Athennian value proposition to C-level executives.

Build an active relationship with potential clients through phone calls, email, and in-person visits.

Own the negotiation process with prospects, including contracting, deal terms, and final legal review with our CEO and VP of Sales.

Collaborate with leadership to translate market feedback into our go-to-market approach and product roadmap.

Be proactive in communicating cross-functionally with the whole company, especially with our Product, Success, and Marketing teams.

Adjusting content of sales presentations by studying the type of customer profile, regulatory environment, and business models.

Monitoring competition by gathering current marketplace information on pricing, products, new products, and delivery schedules.
