Full Job Description
Job Description
seoClarity is on the hunt for an Enterprise SaaS Account Executive (Sales) to drive new logo growth at the highest level. Based in our Downtown Chicago office, where daily in-person collaboration, deal strategy, and fast decision-making are core to how we win enterprise business.

This is not a role for sellers who rely on others to generate prospective leads, this is built for someone who identifies and creates their own pipeline. This role is built for a sales hunter who commands the room and leads from the front. From the first cold outreach to the signed agreement, you own the pursuit! You are responsible for navigating long sales cycles and multi-stakeholder buying groups without relying on inbound volume or executive intervention.

If you thrive in environments where autonomy is earned, performance is visible, and results matter more than activity, this role will stretch and reward you!

  • Competitive Compensation - base salary plus uncapped commission, with total on-target earnings ranging from $75,000 to $180,000+ (uncapped, performance-based).
  • Robust Benefits Package - a well-rounded package designed to support your health, financial security, flexibility, and long-term growth, including major medical, dental, and vision coverage, company-sponsored life insurance, a 401(k) with company matching, commuter benefits, generous PTO, paid sick time, and company holidays.
  • Perks That Support You - a continuous learning stipend, paid parental leave with extended work-from-home flexibility for new mothers, company-wide celebrations, and an annual global summit that brings teams together.
  • Snack & Beverage Fuel - a fully stocked kitchen with snacks, drinks, and grab-and-go options to keep energy high and focus sharp throughout the day.
  • In-Office, Hybrid Schedule by Design - our team comes together in our Downtown Chicago office Tuesday through Thursday for high-impact collaboration, with Mondays and Fridays reserved for focused remote work.
    • Effortless commute options with valet parking on-site, quick access to the "L" at Chicago Station, a short walk to major Metra lines, direct CTA bus routes (37 and 66), and secure bike storage.
    • A built-in dining scene just steps from your desk, including Starbucks, Hannah's Bretzel, Sopraffina Marketcaffe, Rustle & Roux with an exclusive seoClarity discount, Amazon Go, etc.
    • A large, fully equipped fitness center with locker rooms and showers, making before-work, lunch-hour, or after-work workouts easy and convenient.
