Summary of Job
As an Associate Account Executive, you will thrive in a high-velocity, outbound sales environment where your influence is the deciding factor in our growth. You are responsible for identifying and signing up new customers who require a consultative partner to navigate their hiring needs. This is a high-volume, short-sales-cycle role where your primary mission is to bridge the gap between a prospect's challenges and our solutions. We are looking for a "closer" who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, drive the conversation, and guide customers through a seamless buying process.
ZipRecruiter’s world-class training program, known internally as Dev Bay, is designed to set you up for long-term success at ZipRecruiter and beyond.

This includes structured learning, consistent role playing, and live call practice to ensure you’re building real-world skills from day one. The goal is to prepare you for a seamless transition into a full quota-carrying role within your department.
While you are eligible to earn commission during Dev Bay, the primary focus is on mastering a strong foundation of skills that will enable you to exceed your goals not just early on, but throughout your entire career.
