Full Job Description
Your main objective is to set our future clients up for long-term success, and tailor each sale accordingly.

Planhat empowers businesses to deliver more value to more customers than ever. It's the platform of choice for lean teams to drive sustained profitability.

We define and drive Planhat's GTM strategy & sales process.

We excel at identifying our buyers' objectives regardless of their role, seniority level, company size, or industry. This means we power the growth not only of Planhat, but of software businesses across the USA and beyond:

  • Tailoring our approach for every person, even when leaders at the same company have unique goals and pain points
  • Strategic discussions with the C-suite, deep dives into the product, ironing out nitty-gritty details
  • Listening and building trust, understanding what success looks like, handling objections, creating the right onboarding plan, and steering the path to a signed contract

Before joining Planhat our current Account Executives had experience such as:

  • Proven track records (approx 5+ years) in selling powerful (B2B) SaaS products, usually at scrappy startups, often starting out as BDR/SDR and progressing quickly to AE
  • Running an effective sales cycle, defining and owning it, from prospecting to closing (typically for VP and C-level executives)
  • Revenue responsibly (CSM, Account Manager, AE), exceeding targets, and overperforming at fast-growing software companies
  • Strong academic, and/or, competitive sports background, this role requires a blend of grit/determination, as well as commercial acumen


At Planhat we want people to grow, create value, and take on more responsibility. We believe in promoting from within.

For people that want to push themselves, and be at the forefront of a growing organization Planhat is an ideal place to be.

We look for people who are humble, driven, and above all, can perform. You are someone who reflects our values to be Caring and Genuine, as well as Impactful and Fearless.

There isn't a checklist or number of years of experience that guarantees success, some of the things we look for include:

  • Sales process expertise: you successfully carry revenue responsibility, and can craft memorable sales processes tailored to SaaS VP and C-level executives
  • Curiosity: you know it's much deeper than slide decks and swag... you're speaking with a FinTech company and quickly figure out that the CRO wants to reduce churn, and that CS reps need to automate a bunch of tedious tasks.
  • Business acumen: you're tech-savvy, and a quick learner, you can figure out people's biggest commercial challenges, and set them on their way to long-term success


Strong cultural alignment, a fast ramp-up, and ongoing collaboration are crucial for success in this mission. We're looking for people who can work with the existing Account Executive team in Indianapolis, IN. This is a hybrid role, with at least 3 days per week in the office.

Base salary range: $90,000-$110,000 with a with a 50/50 OTE compensation plan
