We strive to create a fun, conscientiousness, collaborative, and supportive work environment, and are looking for several team members to join us! We are a remote-first company based in the US and Europe with $8M raised from leading VCs and angel investors.

About The Role

As an Account Executive, you will:

  • Generate Pipeline: we have some outsourced and in house pipe gen resources at Mento, however you will also be responsible for prospecting and building out your book of business.
  • Actively contribute to our go-to-market strategy: our ICP, pitch, and distribution channels have begun to show traction but still have a lot of room for improvement. You will a crucial role in continuing to iterate our sales motion to optimize for results.
  • Collaborate with Customers: work with our customers and our member success team to ensure an incredible experience and grow accounts.
  • Cross-functional work: share customer insights and requests back to our team to help shape our product to delight our customers.
  • Define how we work: we are a small scrappy sales team. Be a core contributor in defining our processes, how we work, and our sales culture as we scale.
  • Think outside the box: get creative! Test new sales techniques, explore new distribution channels, experiment with new practices.
