Account Executive

As an Inside Account Executive, you will drive the expansion of Whatnot’s supply by acquiring and nurturing new livestream sellers. You will oversee your own portfolio and manage the entire sales cycle, from pitching and onboarding to providing strategic coaching and facilitating growth. Your goal will be to consistently meet or exceed sales targets by effectively managing your pipeline. You’ll do this via:

• Deeply understanding our end-to-end sales process and collaborating with the team to bring high-potential sellers to Whatnot

• Becoming the go-to expert on how SMBs, primarily sellers with an online presence, can scale their business with Whatnot

• Source and prospect sellers, securing initial discovery and onboarding calls

• Leading sales calls with seller prospects, primarily over video and phone calls, overcoming objections and effectively communicating Whatnot’s value proposition

• Closing sellers, ultimately onboarding them onto the platform, and setting them up for success

• Utilizing key data points to assess seller growth, success, and areas for improvement to drive continuous iteration

• Collaborating with internal partners to develop business growth strategies and communicate product improvements and feedback

We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York City hub.
