ABOUT THE ROLE

RhythmQ builds the RQ Platform, a cloud-based, all-in-one application and review management system used by organizations that run grants, scholarships, fellowships and awards programs. Our customers include some of the biggest associations and non-profits in the world, doing truly meaningful work. Don't take our word for it.

As an Account Executive, you'll own the sales process from first meeting to signed contract. You'll run discovery and demos, build proposals that fit each customer's program, and close new business. You'll start in BDR training so you know our market inside and out before you take over your own pipeline.

• Research and identify potential customers, then connect through cold calls and cold emails
• Qualify prospects for fit and readiness, and book meetings for the AE team
• Shadow AEs on discovery calls and demos to learn how we sell

Running the Sales Process (once you take your AE seat)
• Lead discovery calls and tailored demos of the RQ Platform
• Build proposals and pricing, handle objections and negotiate to close

Pipeline and Forecasting
• Manage your pipeline and keep the CRM current so every deal has accurate next steps
• Forecast your deals accurately and hit your quarterly targets

Customer Handoff and Growth
• Partner with Customer Success for a smooth handoff so every new customer starts strong
• Share what you hear from prospects with Marketing and Product to sharpen our messaging

WHO YOU ARE

Experience
• 1–2 years of experience in software is an asset
• 1–2 years of sales experience is an asset
• 1–2 years of experience in hospitality is an asset
• 1 year of experience using AI tools is an asset
• Strong communicator who can run a confident call and a clear demo

How You Work
• You're coachable. You see BDR training as an edge, take feedback and apply it quickly
• You're resilient. A "no" doesn't slow you down, and you stay consistent with your outreach
• You're organized and curious. You manage a busy pipeline and ask the questions that uncover real needs
