For two decades, RealSelf has been the trusted authority in aesthetics. Today, we're evolving into a dynamic digital ecosystem that puts consumers at the center of their aesthetic journey. As the only destination combining verified patient experiences, expert guidance, and technology, we empower millions to make confident, informed decisions.

Role Overview
We’re looking for a high-energy, NYC-based Account Executive to fuel new business growth. In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle, from initial outreach to signed contract, by converting free RealSelf profiles into paid subscribers and bringing high-quality aesthetic providers onto the platform for the first time.
You’ll focus on small to mid-sized practices in the aesthetics space, proactively identifying opportunities, educating providers on our value, and closing revenue-driving deals.
This role offers a competitive base salary plus uncapped variable commission as part of RealSelf’s Sales Compensation Plan.

- Manage a strong pipeline and consistently achieve or exceed targets.
- Quickly learn and sell software, breaking into traditional or “old-school” industries and creating demand where budgets may not be pre-allocated.
- Educate, influence, and inspire - using storytelling, product evangelism, and emotional connection to drive adoption.
- Maintain crisp CRM hygiene and partner closely with cross-functional teams and leadership to refine our GTM strategy.
Requirements
- NYC-Based (Hybrid).
- 2+ years of experience in a closing or closing-adjacent sales role (AEs, Senior SDRs, or SDRs ready to step into a full-cycle role are encouraged to apply).
- Experience running a fast-paced, full-cycle sales process with low-ACV, transactional deal sizes.
- Ability to engage and influence a range of SMB decision-makers, including surgeons, office managers, and business managers.
- Coachable, high-energy, and excited to learn new technology and sell into traditional or “old-school” industries.
- Organized and detail-oriented, with consistent CRM hygiene and pipeline management habits.
Bonus Qualities
- Early employee or one of the first sales hires at a startup.
- Marketplace experience.
- Proficient in Salesloft and/or Salesforce.
- Background in beauty, aesthetics, or healthcare industries.
