Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.
We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.
The Role:
Paddle’s business is growing fast, successfully winning business at larger and more complex B2B SaaS organisations. Its recent acquisition of ProfitWell brought with it ProfitWell Retain, the industry leading solution for retention and churn reduction. As a Senior Account Executive (Retain Strategist) selling our suite of SaaS products, you’ll become an expert on the subscription universe across industries and use that knowledge to work through transactional sales cycles with the market’s top brands, including Fortune 500 companies. Retain is built to help combat churn for SaaS business. We aim to be the most helpful brand in SaaS by creating partnerships with our customers. You will manage a pipeline of business with reasonable targets to help us continue to grow.
Our base salary band for this role is $90-120k.
What you’ll do:
- Working independently and with our BDR team to identify qualified, prospect client opportunities, you are responsible for taking over the conversation and relationship building for all things Retain
- Serve as an expert on our suite of SaaS products, answering client questions on churn, retention, and revenue recognition
- Build rapport and ask probing questions to further qualify client opportunities and establish executive alignment
- Identify stakeholders (Champions, Decision-Makers, Legal, Procurement, Finance, etc.) and determine best practices for navigating and influencing the conversation
- Build ROI analysis for your customers to share the value of Retain
- Work collaboratively with other departments across Paddle to ensure product and client alignment
- Improve our sales funnel by bringing your innovative ideas to the table
We’d love to hear from you:
- Have a background in Tech and/or SaaS sales with 5+ years’ of experience closing deals. Net new closing preferred
- Are in a role that requires you to know when and how to close, to develop and execute on a joint execution plan, and build relationships throughout the cycle
- Bring prior experience selling to C-suite, VC, or other stakeholder executives at a company, building trust and connection
- Have very strong communication skills, both written and verbal
- Innately embody a mindset that there’s always more to learn, being unafraid of feedback, and knowing when to ask for help. You feel comfortable in a coaching and mentoring environment.
- Are comfortable working in the grey rather than the black and white, and are excited to work autonomously, proactively asking for guidance when needed, and being a self-starter
