Full Job Description
This role is primarily in-person (4 days per week) at our Chicago office in the Loop (20 N Wacker Dr), with one remote workday each week.

How We Work

At WeTravel, our Sales teams combine autonomy with strong collaboration. As an Account Executive, you'll own the full sales cycle - from initial outreach and discovery calls to product demos, closing deals, and smoothly handing off to onboarding.

We focus on understanding each client's unique needs and aligning our solutions to match. You won't just sell - you'll guide and support potential customers in discovering how WeTravel (products) can truly help their business thrive.

We value proactive, solution-oriented individuals who aren't afraid to take initiative, spot opportunities, and act on them. Our teams move fast, support one another, and celebrate wins together - big and small. You'll spend most of your time doing what actually moves the needle: prospecting, demoing, and following up with qualified leads.

Why You Should or Shouldn't Apply

You should apply if you:
  • Are fluent in English (bonus points for other languages-list them on your resume!).
  • Have a natural confidence on the phone and enjoy outbound sales activity.
  • Communicate clearly and present with energy and purpose.
  • Love helping small business owners scale their operations.
  • Have some experience in inside sales via emails and calls.
  • Thrive in an office environment.
  • Are willing to travel up to 10% for client visits.
  • Bonus: Have some worked in B2B sales, especially selling to SMBs.
  • Bonus: Have knowledge of HubSpot CRM or similar tools.
  • Bonus: Have experience or a strong network in the travel industry-that's a big plus!

You might not be the right fit if you:
  • Don't enjoy high-volume outreach or cold calling.
  • Prefer reactive roles with minimal client interaction.
  • Are not self-driven and need lots of guidance.

  • Collaborating with onboarding and support teams to ensure a seamless client experience.
  • Sharing feedback with product and marketing based on client conversations.

Benefits
  • Attractive compensation - uncapped commission. Base Fulltime Salary is $65,000 (USD) (On Target Earnings: Year 1 OTE = $115,000, Year 2 OTE: $150,000).
  • Your health matters - US team members get 100% employer-covered HDHP medical, PPO dental, and standard vision coverages or a choice of plans that suit your needs.
