Full Job Description
About the position:

If you have 1-2 years of outbound sales experience and want to break into software account management, this program is built for you.

We're launching a 6-Month Software Acceleration Program designed to identify, develop, and evaluate high-potential talent for our Software Account Management (SAM) team. This is your chance to transition from prospecting to really closing roles. It is designed to prepare and evaluate talent for placement into our Software Account Representative (SAR) or Senior SAR roles.

This is a program role with full benefits and a clear outcome at the end of six months:

  • Top performers will advance directly into a Software Account Representative (SAR) role
  • Exceptional performers may be considered for Senior Software Account Representative (Sr SAR) placement
  • Those who do not meet performance expectations may conclude participation at the end of the program


If you want a true pathway into Software Account Management, you will want to take a close look at this role.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll work in a high energy, outbound sales environment built to demonstrate your existing outbound selling skills while accelerating your ability to advance deals, influence buying decisions, and drive SaaS revenue.

  • Drive outbound outreach and actively create qualified sales opportunities
  • Deliver compelling, value-driven messaging to SMB and mid-market prospects
  • Execute structured call, email, and LinkedIn engagement strategies
  • Partner closely with SAM leaders and sales partners to refine conversion tactics
  • Strengthen your SaaS sales acumen through ongoing coaching, training, and hands-on platform experience
  • Demonstrate consistent performance within a structured evaluation framework


You'll gain exposure to real selling, not just booking meetings-setting you up for success as you transition into the SAM family.

  • A growth mindset and strong coachability
  • Ability to travel less than 5% of the time (should live local to the city on the job posting)

  • Real opportunity to move into SAR or Sr SAR based on performance following 6-months' performance

Program Outcomes

At the end of the 6-month program:

🌟 High performers → Software Account Representative (SAR)
