Account Executive

The Account Executive (AE) at Blend owns driving the growth of our customers across our platform of products and services. The AE is the leader of our incredible account team and works with customer executives to identify, position, and sell innovation into the world largest Banks, Credit Unions, and Independent Mortgage Banks (IMBs).

Blend started in 2012 focused on the Mortgage originations process (e.g., how to apply for and get a mortgage). We redefined the process for millions of consumers and hundreds of Banks, Credit Unions, and IMBs. We now process ~ 20% of all mortgages in the United States and are rapidly expanding into other origination products such as deposit accounts, auto lending, personal lending, and credit cards. Our customer base represents not only the largest but the most innovative financial institutions in the industry. 

The role of the AE is central to our ongoing growth. As a consumption based revenue company, Blend grows by signing new logos, expanding within existing accounts, and growing utilization of previously sold products. At Blend, the AE can target all of these growth opportunities and balance both new business and existing account expansion to drive results.

Note: This is NOT a remote role, you must be able to commute to the Westlake Village, CA office.
