Job Description

Job Context Many businesses in our customers' world run on tight profit margins — around 5% on average. We've built the AI back-office solution to change that. We're not asking you to squeeze more money from customers — we're asking you to help them become more profitable than they've ever been. That's the job. That's the mission. The Mission As a Senior AI Sales Executive, you are the highest-level individual contributor in our AI sales organization. You operate on the most complex, highest-value deals in our existing customer base — leading from the front, setting the standard for deal execution, and mentoring the next generation of AI Sales Executives. You own the full AI sales motion: warm pipeline from Account Managers, self-generated outbound into strategic accounts, complex multi-stakeholder deals, and strategic expansion opportunities that require a seller who can operate at the executive level. What You’ll Do Lead the Most Strategic Deals Own the most complex, highest-value AI expansion opportunities in the customer base Navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes — owner, CFO, operations lead — with confidence and credibility Run executive-level business case conversations that tie AI capabilities directly to margin improvement and operational ROI Carry and exceed a senior quota — you set the ceiling on what's possible for this team Set the Standard for AI Selling Be the product authority across the entire Simpro Group AI portfolio — go deeper than anyone else on integration, configuration, and business impact Model best-in-class demo execution, discovery discipline, and objection handling for the broader AI Sales team Partner with leadership to develop and refine the playbook — your instincts shape how the whole team sells Mentor AI Sales Executives — sharing deal strategy, coaching live conversations, and accelerating their development Generate & Convert at the Highest Level Self-source a robust pipeline through strategic outbound into high-value, non-managed accounts Converting at a higher rate on more complex deals — your experience means you close what others can't Bring the voice of the customer to product, marketing, and leadership — your frontline insight shapes strategy Stay ahead of the AI landscape, the competition, and customer trends so you can out-position anyone in the room This job description is not an exhaustive list of duties and may be modified at the discretion of Simpro Group. What You’ll Bring High-Velocity SaaS Closing: Proven track record as an Account Executive closing short-cycle, high-velocity SaaS deals ($5k–$10k ACV), typically navigating a 1-to-2 call close within a :2-week sales cycle. Account Expansion & Upsell Discipline: Strong experience positioning add-on tools into an established, warm customer base—specifically taking Delight (Simpro Group’s AI-powered marketing tool) directly to existing Simpro core accounts to drive incremental account value. Full-Funnel Ownership & Outbound Discipline: Phone-first mentality with structured cadences to aggressively target, qualify, and build pipeline across our warm account portfolio. End-to-End Deal Execution: Confident leading tailored product demos, driving commercial negotiations, and closing deals autonomously. Value-Based Qualification & Urgency: Sharp qualification discipline to prioritize high-converting opportunities alongside a true closer's instinct—building urgency around buyer ROI rather than relying on discounts. SMB Communication: Ability to translate AI and marketing tech concepts into simple, highly compelling business outcomes for busy, non-technical SMB owners. Proven Performance: Consistent quota attainment with clear, quantifiable metrics you can speak to with confidence. Nice to Have Vertical SaaS / Field Service Experience: Prior experience selling within Vertical SaaS, trade/field service technology, or SMB marketing automation platforms.
